You carried it as one person. You walked away as someone else.
Your flowers changed that day too. They were held, they were carried down an aisle — and they're not finished.
I take them apart and build them into something else. Dried by hand, rearranged, set in resin in a bowl turned from salvaged wood. Not pressed flat and framed. Given a second shape, with dimension, so it stays something you live with rather than something you store.
I spent 22 years as a nurse, most of it in critical care and aeromedical transport. It taught me to handle what matters to people carefully, and to get it right the first time.
Your walk down the aisle. Sincerely, Your Flowers.
Not every rose needs this. This one did.
Three ways to keep your flowers
A single keepsake dish. A smaller trinket dish or round bowl made from part of your bouquet. The same drying, the same hand-arranging, the same resin finish — just fewer blooms in a smaller piece. A good choice if you want something for your dresser or ring dish without a full bouquet piece.
Full bouquet preservation. Your whole bouquet, dried and rebuilt into one larger bowl or tray, designed around your own flowers.
The Heirloom Collection. Your bouquet split into three pieces. See below.
I also make smaller keepsakes from corsages and other flowers.
Pieces are custom priced, based on your bouquet and the bowl you choose. Reach out and I'll put together a quote for you.
The Heirloom Collection
Your bouquet can become more than one keepsake. The Heirloom Collection splits your flowers into three pieces: a larger bowl for you, sized up from my usual pieces to hold more of your bouquet, and two matching keepsake dishes for your mom and mother-in-law. Each piece comes from the same bouquet, so they're tied together without being identical.
It's a thoughtful answer for brides trying to decide on a gift for the mothers or for a maid of honor
How wedding bouquet preservation works
- Get in touch. Reach out before your wedding day, or just after, so we can plan the timing together.
- Pick your person. The last thing you'll want to think about that night is your flowers — so ask someone else to handle it. Your mom, your maid of honor, or your coordinator takes the bouquet at the end of the reception, keeps it somewhere cool overnight, and gets it to me. Decide who before the wedding and it's one less thing on your mind.
- Send your bouquet. Fresher is better — shipped or picked up within two to three days of the ceremony.
- I preserve and design your piece. Your bouquet is dried in full first, then I design the piece around your own blooms — every flower placed by hand, arranged for your bouquet specifically rather than dropped into a template. That extra step is why bridal work takes about eight to ten weeks from the time your flowers arrive.
- You hear from me along the way. You'll get a message with photos when your flowers arrive, and again before I pour. You won't be left wondering where your bouquet is.
- Your keepsake ships. Carefully wrapped and ready to display.
Common questions
How soon do my flowers need to get to you?
Two to three days at the very most — and that's only if they've been looked after in the meantime, kept cool and out of the heat. Sooner is better every time. If you won't be able to get them in the mail yourself, have someone designated to take the bouquet that night and send it out for you.
Can I send my bouquet from out of state?
Yes — most bouquets are mailed to me, from anywhere in the US. Once we've connected I'll send you my shipping address along with instructions for packing them safely.
Will I hear from you while you have my flowers?
Yes. I'll message you with photos when your bouquet arrives, and again before I pour the resin. Handing over something irreplaceable and then hearing nothing for two months is the worst part of this for most brides, and it isn't how I work.
My wedding already happened. Is it too late?
It depends on how the flowers were kept. Get in touch and tell me what you're working with, and I'll tell you honestly whether there's enough there to make something you'd be happy with.
How long until I get my keepsake?
About eight to ten weeks from the time your flowers arrive. Your bouquet has to dry completely before I can design around it, and that step can't be rushed without costing you the result.
What if I don't know which piece I want yet?
That's normal, and it doesn't have to be decided before your wedding. Reach out first and we'll work it out once I've seen your flowers.
Every piece is one of a kind
Because each preservation takes time, I take a limited number of bouquets. If you're planning ahead, get in touch early.
Crafted with a Story
Our story
Leah Lane Flowers was born from a simple belief: Flowers symbolize such a wide range of emotions in our lives. From saying congradulations, to Happy Mother's Day, Good Luck, or even goodbye, flowers add so much meaning to our life events, even if we just need a calming, aesthetic environment.
I'm a nurse.
Much of my working life has been spent with people on their hardest days — trauma, loss, the kind of sadness that doesn't leave when the shift ends. It's meaningful work. It's also heavy.
That's how Leah Lane Flowers started. Flowers offer us beauty and simplicity that we often overlook.
Each piece begins with a hand-carved wooden bowl and real preserved flowers, set beneath a clear, glass-smooth finish. Nothing is printed. Nothing is repeated. The blooms fall where they fall and the wood grain is its own — so the piece you receive won't exist twice.
I like that about them. It feels honest to how things actually are.
Some people keep theirs on a bathroom counter for rings and earrings. Some use them as a centerpiece. And some send me flowers that already mean something — a wedding bouquet, a funeral arrangement, a garden they grew — and I preserve those instead.
Whatever it holds, I hope it brings a little beauty and quiet to wherever you set it down.
— Leah and Jennifer

Let customers speak for us
I recently bought this and absolutely love it. It is now the center piece on my coffee table. It is beautifully made and well constructed. The packaging was well done and the shipping was on time. I was able to use the tracking number to follow the delivery. Highly recommend.
