Wedding Bouquet Preservation - Gold Coast
Parting with your wedding bouquet can be bittersweet, especially after the meticulous planning and care that went into selecting each delicate bloom. Each flower is chosen with love, and every arrangement is crafted to perfectly reflect the beauty of your special day. It’s only natural to want to preserve a piece of that elegance and sentiment. At Cherished Blooms, I go beyond traditional methods to offer bespoke floral preservation, helping you hold on to the memories in every bloom.
Unlike many preservation services that focus solely on pressing flowers, I specialise in three-dimensional designs to maintain the natural shape of your flowers. My techniques preserve your flowers in all their beauty, keeping their intricate details and delicate textures, with colours that mellow gently over time. I create elegant arrangements, a unique piece of art that captures your memories in ways that are as unique as your special day.
From the intricate details of ceremony installations to the dainty charm of boutonnières and the captivating allure of your bouquet, our thoughtful preparation and expert care ensure that your blooms are transformed into timeless keepsakes.
I also work with brides in Brisbane and the surrounding areas. Here’s how it works for Brisbane weddings.
How I preserve your flowers
Silica Gel
Ideal for chunkier blooms, silica gel absorbs moisture efficiently while maintaining the flower’s shape and structure.
Silica gel is my main method, as it keeps flowers in their full 3D shape. Some blooms suit a different approach, so I choose what’s best for each flower.
Air Drying
Perfect for certain flower types, this traditional method involves hanging blooms upside down in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Typically, flowers dry over 2–3 weeks.
Pressing
While some flowers, like poppies, are particularly suited to the pressing method, I employ it sparingly, I prefer a more three-dimensional aspect, which means I typically opt for alternative preservation methods.
