If you’ve just said “I do,” you’re probably wondering what to do with your bouquet after the wedding. While it may be tempting to let it dry in a vase or press a few petals into a scrapbook, there’s a better way to hold onto that once-in-a-lifetime beauty: preservation.
At DBANDREA®, we believe that preserving your wedding flowers is more than a trend, but a deeply personal investment in your story, your memories, and your future self. Here's why.
The Emotional Value of Preserving Your Bouquet
Your bouquet is one of the most symbolic and sentimental pieces from your wedding day. It walked with you down the aisle, it showed up in every photo, and it reflected your style, personality, and love story.
Preserving those flowers allows you to transform fleeting beauty into something that lasts forever. Instead of asking "why preserve wedding flowers?" ask yourself this: How do I want to remember this moment ten years from now?
A preserved bouquet becomes a visible, tangible reminder of one of the most important days of your life. It's not just a keepsake; it's a time capsule.

A Meaningful Gift to Your Future Self
The days after your wedding can feel like a blur. But weeks, months, or even years later, you'll be so glad you chose to preserve your flowers.
Imagine seeing your framed bouquet on the wall every day. Or holding a preserved block years from now and being instantly brought back to your vows, your first dance, and every small detail that made your day yours.
