For many brides, saving those blooms is a way to keep the memories alive. From the emotional (holding onto a piece of your wedding day forever) to the practical (upcycling expensive florals into home décor or jewelry), bouquet preservation has become an increasingly popular choice. Whether it’s turning the flowers into a resin wedding bouquet keepsake or pressing them into a frame, preserving your bouquet lets you relive your wedding day each time you glance at that beautiful keepsake.

But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve gathered real bride bouquet preservation stories – detailed testimonials from actual clients of Bouquet Casting Co – to shed light on their personal motivations and experiences. These wedding bouquet preservation reviews reveal why each bride chose to preserve her bouquet and how she felt about the process.

Becky – A Wedding Gift to Herself

Not every wedding gift comes wrapped in paper and bows – sometimes it’s the gift you give yourself.

Becky decided that preserving her bridal bouquet would be “my wedding gift to myself.” 

As she explains: “After all the planning was said and done I realized that I wanted to make sure I was able to have something from the day…” Preserving her flowers was Becky’s way of ensuring a piece of her wedding would last forever.

Becky entrusted Bouquet Casting Co to create a lasting keepsake from her bouquet, and she was so glad she did. By having her florals professionally preserved, she now has a gorgeous reminder of her wedding day on display.

Read more of Becky's experience:

"Bouquet Casting Co. was such an amazing group to work with because they made the experience feel very personal. I recognize that the price seems like a lot of money, but I was pricing them out with other companies I saw, and it was quite competitive. The customer service that came with it was worth it for me too. Before I even put down a deposit, they took the time to call me and answer all my questions and even put me at peace with coordinating me being able to hand deliver my flowers two days after the wedding instead of mailing them. I appreciated the check-ins over time as they were drying out the flowers."

"The length of time was a bit longer than I expected but I knew that my flowers were in good care. I am gifting two of the coasters to my mom and two to my mother-in-law that way they can also have elegant piece from the wedding for years to come. I should have gotten two more for myself, but I am glad they will be able to use them. If you budget allows for you to do something like this, I swear it is worth the investment for bringing a smile to your face for years to come."

For Becky, investing in bouquet preservation was totally worth it – a meaningful reward to herself that she gets to cherish every single day. It’s a decision she happily encourages other brides to consider, especially after all the hard work of planning a wedding. In her eyes, preserving her bouquet was the perfect cherry on top of an unforgettable day!

Becky’s motivation: She realized she wanted a lasting keepsake from her wedding, so she treated preservation as a special post-wedding gift to herself.

Kelsey N. – Blown Away by the Results (and the Process!)

While some brides plan bouquet preservation from the start, others are simply astonished by how beautiful the results turn out. Kelsey N. was one bride who was absolutely blown away by her preserved bouquet. “WOW! Bouquet Casting Co goes above & beyond! When I received my preserved flowers back, I was speechless!” she writes in her review.

Kelsey also noted how easy and stress-free the whole experience was, even from afar. “If I could give this 10 stars, I would! The process was really easy to ship my flowers and they had so many options for different things you can do with the flowers,” she adds.

"This highlights a big benefit for brides who may not be local: Bouquet Casting Co provides clear instructions, making it simple to send your bouquet in for preservation from anywhere."

"I bought a 10x10 bouquet block and would highly recommend it for prospective clients as well! Every time someone comes to my house, it is a conversation starter and people are completely amazed! It's worth the investment to have something so special and unique to remember your special day. Thank you, Angela!"

Kelsey loved that she could choose from a wide variety of preservation formats (think resin blocks, jewelry, coasters, you name it), and the team still went above and beyond to exceed her expectations. Her preserved bouquet — a stunning resin keepsake — now allows her to relive the magic of her wedding day, and she wholeheartedly recommends the experience.

Kelsey’s motivation: She wanted her bouquet preserved and was thrilled by how easy Bouquet Casting Co made it for a non-local bride. The payoff was a breathtaking keepsake that left her “speechless.”

Lauren – Preserving Every Last Flower (Boutonniere Included!)

For Lauren, choosing Bouquet Casting Co was a no-brainer — she had a unique head start because the preservation expert was at her wedding! “Angela is AMAZING!” Lauren says, referring to Bouquet Casting Co’s owner.

“She and her fiancé Jack photographed our wedding, so we were able to give her all the flowers we wanted preserved before they left. When we realized we forgot to give her my husband’s boutonnière, she helped us find a day and time to meet her to drop it off.”

Lauren’s goal was to save every meaningful flower from the day, and Angela made sure even the forgotten boutonniere was included in the preservation. Lauren was impressed by how knowledgeable and professional the team was and how perfectly her bouquet was captured. “She was knowledgeable, professional, and completely and perfectly captured my wedding bouquet,” Lauren gushes. The final preserved pieces reflected every detail of the original bouquet — a true snapshot of her wedding in time.

What really touched Lauren was the extra personal touch: “She even made an adorable ‘J’ keychain with some of the florals from my bouquet after I mentioned in passing that I love the idea of having a little piece of our day with me all the time,” she recalls.

Imagine getting a tiny keepsake (in Lauren’s case, a resin keychain with her new last initial) as a surprise bonus! It’s gestures like this that made Lauren so happy she chose Bouquet Casting Co. “If you need your florals preserved… Angela should be your first choice. She is without a doubt the absolute best!” Lauren says.

Lauren’s motivation: She didn’t want to lose a single bloom from her wedding. By preserving her bouquet (and even the boutonniere), she ensured every flower from that day lives on. The attentive service and extra keepsake keychain were icing on the cake, confirming she made the right choice.

Sydney – Turning Her Bouquet Into Wearable Keepsakes

Some brides see bouquet preservation as a chance to create one big display, while others get creative with multiple mementos.

Sydney is a bride who opted for several keepsakes from her vibrant spring bouquet – and even shared them with family. “Angela did an amazing job preserving my wedding bouquet for me!” Sydney says. She loved being involved in design choices: “She kept me informed at every step in the process, helped me pick out the pieces that would best suit my flowers, and made sure each piece was made with the flowers I had in mind.” With Bouquet Casting Co’s guidance, Sydney selected a collection of items to preserve her flowers in resin.

The results were better than she imagined. Sydney ended up with handcrafted jewelry and decor made from her bouquet, which allowed her to spread the joy around. “I ended up giving a bracelet to my new MIL and one of my wine toppers to my mom, and everyone loves their pieces!” she reports. Being able to gift her mother and mother-in-law a piece of the wedding flowers was an unexpected emotional highlight for Sydney. It meant a lot to her (and to them) to share that memory in such a unique way.

Of course, Sydney kept a few special items for herself too. She admits she was originally most excited about a resin ring holder made from her bouquet, but in the end her favorite keepsakes turned out to be a necklace and earrings.

Why? Because she can wear a piece of her bouquet whenever she wants! “I love wearing a piece of my bouquet out with me and I get so many compliments,” Sydney says, delighted that her wedding flowers have become fashionable, meaningful accessories.

Her advice to anyone considering preserving their bouquet: “Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong with Bouquet Casting!”

Sydney’s motivation: She wanted to preserve her bouquet in a variety of forms she could use and share. Now she has wearable reminders of her wedding, and even her family members have a piece of that day to hold onto.

Sophia E. – Peace of Mind and a Beautiful Display Piece

Sophia E. knew she wanted her bouquet in safe hands, and Bouquet Casting Co delivered on that trust. “Bouquet Casting Co was wonderful to work with!” Sophia says. Right after her wedding, she and her spouse dropped off the flowers in person at the Bouquet Casting Co studio.

From that point on, Sophia felt at ease – “Angela gave us updates throughout the casting process,” she notes, so she never had to wonder how her flowers were doing. That peace of mind can be priceless when you’ve handed over such a treasured item.

Once the preservation was complete, the finished piece was sent right to her doorstep. “Our pieces were shipped directly to us. They are beautiful!” Sophia writes, thrilled with the outcome. She chose to have her bouquet preserved in a resin display block, creating a stunning coffee-table showpiece filled with her actual wedding blooms.

The flowers that she held walking down the aisle are now artfully encased in crystal-clear resin, looking as lovely as they did on that day. For Sophia, preserving her bouquet was about having a tangible, beautiful reminder of the day she said “I do” – and thanks to Bouquet Casting Co’s wonderful service, she got exactly that.

Sophia’s motivation: She wanted a hassle-free preservation experience with a gorgeous result she could display. By dropping off her bouquet and trusting the pros, she ended up with a beautiful resin keepsake block – and zero stress along the way.

For Jasmine, the clear guidance and frequent communication took all the stress out of shipping her bouquet off to be preserved. She always knew what was happening with her blooms, which allowed her to simply enjoy the excitement of the process.

Jasmine also got creative with her preserved flowers. “I also ordered a jewelry tray for my mom, and it’s stunning,” she says. Not only did she end up with a beautiful resin tray featuring flowers from her bouquet, but she was able to gift that tray to her mother as a heartfelt thank-you. Imagine Mom’s delight at receiving a piece of her daughter’s wedding day to cherish!

This thoughtful extra touch made Jasmine even happier with her decision to preserve her bouquet. In the end, she was overjoyed with how both her own keepsake and her mom’s gift turned out.
