Most brides spend months planning every detail of their wedding day, the flowers included. But once the bouquet toss is over and the flowers start to wilt, a lot of brides find themselves with a new question: what do you actually do with it now?
If you're also trying to figure out a meaningful thank-you gift for your mom and mother-in-law, one that isn't a candle or a picture frame, there's a way to solve both at once.
Why Brides Preserve Their Bouquets
A wedding bouquet only exists for one day, but it carries a lot more weight than that. It was picked out during months of planning, carried down the aisle, held in every photo. Once the wedding is over, most bouquets get tossed or left to dry out in a vase. Preservation is a way to keep that piece of the day instead of letting it disappear, turning real, dried flowers into a resin keepsake, like a bowl or tray, that actually gets used at home instead of packed away in a box.
The Gift Brides Often Forget to Give
Somewhere in the middle of wedding planning, most brides realize how much their mom and mother-in-law actually did, not just on the day itself, but in the months leading up to it. A lot of brides want to say thank you with something more personal than a gift card, but don't know what that actually looks like.
This is usually where bouquet preservation comes in. Since the bouquet is already being preserved, splitting it into more than one keepsake means the mothers get something tied to the exact same day, without the bride having to track down a separate gift.
Introducing the Heirloom Collection
The Heirloom Collection takes this a step further. Instead of preserving a bouquet into a single piece, I split it into three: a larger bowl for the bride, sized up from my usual pieces to hold more of the bouquet, and two matching keepsake dishes, one for mom, one for mother-in-law. All three come from the same flowers, so they're connected without being identical.
It's also a natural option for a maid of honor who was just as much a part of the day as anyone else, some brides choose to give her the third piece instead of, or in addition to, the mothers.
Because every collection is built around a real bouquet, no two ever turn out exactly alike. What ties them together is where they came from.
How It Works
The process works the same way as a standard bouquet preservation. Reach out beforehand so we can plan timing, then send your bouquet, ideally within a few days of the wedding. From there, the flowers are dried and worked into all three pieces by hand, then shipped out carefully packaged and ready to display.
Like all my bridal work, the Heirloom Collection is custom priced, based on your bouquet and the pieces you choose.
If you're trying to figure out what to do with your bouquet, or what to give the people who helped make your wedding day happen, this is one way to do both at once.
