Beyond Bouquets: Innovative Ways to Preserve Event Flowers

Greetings, flower enthusiasts and event planners! It’s Lake from Lake Dessie Studio, and today, let’s embark on a journey beyond wedding bouquets into the realm of preserving flowers from various events. From high school homecomings to baby showers, flowers hold the magic of special moments. Join me as we explore creative projects, share heartwarming stories, and discover how floral preservation can become an integral part of your event planning.

Preserving Memories: A High School Homecoming Tale

Recently I had a sweet and unique non-wedding preservation request. My client reached out to me about preserving her daughter’s high school homecoming bouquet. Her daughter was nominated to homecoming court and created the bouquet she carried herself! After the blooms were dropped off to me, the flowers were transformed into a stunning ring holder and jewelry tray. The result was not just a functional piece, but a tangible memory of a precious moment that will be cherished for years to come.

Blooms of Love: Anniversary Flowers in Eternal Embrace

On another occasion, I had the honor of preserving flowers given by a boyfriend to his girlfriend for their anniversary. The bouquet, a dozen red roses with babies breath and greenery, now stands as a testament to their love story. The preserved flowers transformed into timeless Ring Holder, bringing the romance of that special day into their everyday lives.

Beyond Weddings: Exploring the Spectrum of Special Events

While weddings are undeniably significant, there are numerous other occasions where flowers play a pivotal role. Imagine preserving blooms from:

•            Birthday Bashes: Capture the vibrancy of milestone birthdays with preserved floral pieces that reflect the celebratory spirit. You could choose a beautiful décor piece like a tray, or a letter block to add some personalization!

•            Anniversary Bliss: Whether it’s a first anniversary or a golden jubilee, preserving anniversary flowers creates a lasting tribute to years of love and commitment. Preserve those blooms into a set of wine stoppers so that you can use them for that champagne bottle on future anniversaries!

•            Milestone Parties: Commemorate achievements, promotions, or retirement parties with flowers that symbolize success and new beginnings.

•            Baby Showers and Gender Reveals: Preserve the excitement of welcoming a new life by immortalizing the blooms from baby showers or gender reveal parties. You could pick a letter block for the first initial of the child’s name to make it a little extra special!

•            Graduation Glory: Celebrate academic accomplishments by preserving the flowers that marked the end of an educational journey. Maybe pick a set of bookends to preserve them in that they can take off to college, or put into their future office!
