Your wedding bouquet isn’t just a bunch of flowers—it’s a beautiful, sentimental piece of your big day. So why let it fade away when you can preserve it forever? If you’re looking into wedding bouquet preservation, two of the most popular options are resin displays and shadowboxes or oval picture frames. Both have their own unique charm, so let’s break it down and help you decide which one fits your style best!

Resin Wedding Bouquet Preservation

Resin is a modern, artistic way to keep your bouquet looking fresh and vibrant for years. The process involves drying your flowers and encasing them in crystal-clear resin, often in blocks, spheres, or custom shapes. It’s sleek, stylish, and a total conversation starter.

Why Couples Love Resin Displays

Modern & Eye-Catching – If you love contemporary décor, resin is a dream. It gives flowers a stunning, almost “floating” look, showing off every petal from every angle.

Lots of Customization – From geometric blocks to coasters and even trays, resin lets you get creative with your keepsake.

Built to Last – Resin protects your flowers from air, dust, and light exposure, keeping them looking beautiful for years.

Things to Consider

Like any display, resin does have a few things to keep in mind. Direct sunlight over time can cause yellowing, and some flowers may shift in color during the process. But when done by professionals—like the experts at Keepsake Floral—resin displays are treated with UV-resistant materials to keep your bouquet looking fresh.

Shadowboxes & Oval Picture Frames

If you love classic, elegant displays, shadowboxes or oval frames might be more your style. These keepsakes involve carefully drying and arranging your flowers behind glass, often alongside wedding mementos like your invitation, lace from your dress, or a special photo.

Why Couples Love Shadowboxes & Frames

✅ Timeless & Elegant – Whether your home décor is vintage or modern, framed flowers fit right in.

✅ Personal Touches – Want to include your wedding ribbon, vows, or a special note? These displays let you add extra sentimental elements.

✅ Preserves Color & Shape – Professionally arranged dried flowers hold their color and detail for decades when done with expert preservation techniques.

Things to Consider

While these frames protect flowers from dust and handling, some fading may happen over the years—especially if exposed to sunlight. However, professional preservation (like Keepsake Floral’s color-enhancing treatments) helps keep your blooms vibrant for as long as possible.

Both resin and framed bouquet preservation have become super popular, and it really comes down to your personal style!
