A Guide for Caring for your Bouquet after the Wedding
You carried me down the aisle. Here's how to get me safely to the next part of the story.
Before the wedding: Pick your person
At the end of the night you'll have a hundred things on your mind, and sending off your bouquet shouldn't be one of them. Choose someone now, like your mom, your maid of honor, or any trustworthy loved one to take your bouquet home when the reception ends.
The night of the wedding
- Keep me somewhere cool, away from heat, direct sun, and warm cars.
- If my stems are unwrapped, recut them at an angle and place in fresh warm water
- Handle me gently. Petals bruise easily, and every one of them matters later.
Ship ASAP
Sooner is always better. Two to three days after the wedding is the most you can wait, and only if the bouquet has been kept cool the whole time. Jennifer will send you a prepaid shipping label.
Packing for the trip
- Skip loose water in the box. Wrap my stems in a damp paper towel, then cover that with plastic wrap or a sandwich bag.
- Wrap my blooms loosely in tissue paper so my petals don't crush or rub together.
- Use a sturdy box with a little extra room, padded with crumpled paper so I don't shift around.
- Ship early in the week if you can, so I'm not sitting in a warehouse over the weekend.
- Send Jennifer the tracking number so she knows when to expect me.
What happens next
Jennifer will send you photos when I arrive, and again before the resin is poured, so you're part of it the whole way. I'll be dried completely first, then rearranged by hand around my own blooms. Your finished piece takes about eight to ten weeks from the day I arrive.
I was held, I walked with you for your big moment, but I'm not finished yet.
Sincerely,
Your Flowers
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

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.
