6 Beautiful Ways to Preserve Your Wedding Flowers

6 Beautiful Ways to Preserve Your Wedding Flowers

Your wedding day is full of emotions, memories and moments you never want to forget — and your bouquet is part of that. While the day itself goes by quickly, your flowers don’t have to fade.
With wedding flower preservation, you can keep a meaningful part of your day forever.

Here are six beautiful ways to turn your bouquet into a keepsake you’ll treasure.


1. Resin Paperweights

Resin paperweights are one of the most loved options for bouquet preservation.
Resin is a clear material that hardens around your flowers, capturing every petal and keeping it beautifully protected.

Paperweights can also include:

  • Small pieces of lace
  • A wedding invitation
  • Confetti
  • A tiny photograph

They’re timeless, elegant and make a beautiful display piece for your home.

2. Resin Clutch Bags

If you want something wearable and truly unique, a resin clutch bag is a stunning option.
Your wedding flowers are carefully arranged and sealed inside a resin shell, turning your bouquet into a handbag you can use for special occasions.

You can customise:

  • Gold or silver chain
  • Flower placement
  • Additional inclusions like pearls or glitter

This is a highly skilled piece, so it’s best left to a professional preservation artist.

3. Wedding Flower Jewellery

Wedding flower jewellery is one of the most meaningful ways to keep your bouquet close to your heart — quite literally.
Using dried petals from your flowers, you can create:

  • Necklaces
  • Earrings
  • Rings
  • Bracelets
  • Charm beads

Each piece is handmade, personal and completely unique.
At Sal’s Forever Flowers, many brides choose jewellery as an everyday reminder of their special day.

4. Photo Frames Made With Your Flowers

If you want a keepsake that pairs beautifully with your wedding photographs, a resin photo frame is perfect.
Your dried flowers are placed around the border, creating a frame filled with memories.

These also make thoughtful gifts for:

  • Bridesmaids
  • Parents
  • Close family
  • Loved ones who were part of your day

A beautiful way to share part of your bouquet with others.

Choosing the Right Preservation for You

There’s no single “right” way to preserve your bouquet — the best choice is whatever feels the most meaningful to you. Whether you’d love something decorative, wearable or practical, preserving your bouquet allows you to hold onto a moment that mattered.
