Your wedding flowers deserve better than a vase in the corner until they inevitably turn brown. What if you could turn those actual flowers into a keepsake you get to enjoy for years?
That is exactly what makes wedding flowers preserved in resin so special. Instead of pressing your bouquet into a book or letting it dry out in a box, a professional artist can preserve your flowers inside resin and turn them into a beautiful keepsake you can display and use for years to come.
I found Bupp Woodworks on Etsy, and their flower preservation options caught my eye. They create custom resin keepsakes using your wedding flowers, with options ranging from small jewelry dishes and coasters to large wall art, tables, and other statement pieces.
If you’re looking for a wedding bouquet preservation option, these are the resin keepsakes worth considering.
7 Ways to Have Your Wedding Flowers Preserved in Resin
One thing I love about wedding flowers preserved in resin is that you are not limited to one traditional preservation style. You can choose something tiny and sentimental, something you can use every day, or a much larger piece that turns your flowers into artwork.
1. Wedding Flowers Preserved in a Resin Jewelry Dish
If you want something small and pretty that you’ll use every day, a resin jewelry dish is a perfect choice and can preserve a few of your wedding flowers.
This custom jewelry dish made with your flowers and epoxy resin is the kind of keepsake you can keep on your nightstand or dresser and use every day for your wedding ring, earrings, or other little treasures.
And honestly, I love that it does not have to sit on a shelf collecting dust. Your flowers become part of something you can actually use.
2. Wedding Flower Resin Coasters
This might be one of the most practical ways to preserve your bouquet: coasters!
In addition to keeping your table free of condensation, these custom resin coasters incorporate your wedding flowers into the design. I love the different styles available including faceted and geode-inspired coaster sets. They look like little works of art that will become part of your entertaining decor.
3. Preserve Your Wedding Flowers in a Resin Tray
Breakfast in bed just got a beautiful upgrade!
If you don’t want your bouquet sitting in a shadow box, this is such a fun alternative. A serving tray made with your flowers and epoxy resin will become a pretty and practical addition to your coffee table, entryway table, or bar cart.
4. Wedding Flowers Preserved in Resin Bookends
As an author, this is my obvious top pick: a set of resin bookends for your shelf. This is a perfect way to preserve flowers for the couple who has a book collection or love to read.
5. Preserve Your Bouquet in a Resin Letter
This one is SO cute for a newlywed home.
Choose a monogram art piece: your wedding flowers preserved inside a custom resin letter. It can be set in your bedroom, home office, or living room as a decorative keepsake from your wedding day.
This would also make such a thoughtful anniversary gift if you wanted to preserve flowers from a special bouquet.
6. Preserve Your Flowers in a Resin Photo Frame
Your wedding flowers + your favorite wedding photo = one seriously special keepsake.
This custom resin photo frame lets you preserve flowers from your bouquet alongside a favorite photo from the day, so you get to keep both the flowers and the memory together. It is such a sweet option for a nightstand, dresser, or shelf where you can see it every day.
7. A Resin Table Made With Your Wedding Flowers
Ok, here’s a unique one you probably haven’t seen yet: your wedding flowers can become an actual piece of furniture.
Turn your wedding bouquet into a cute resin side table that incorporates preserved flowers into the design. This is definitely the option for the bride who looks at a tiny keepsake and thinks, “I want my entire bouquet to be the centerpiece”.
It is such a creative way to make your wedding flowers part of your home rather than simply putting them away as a keepsake.
How Does Professional Resin Wedding Flower Preservation Work?
If you have never had flowers professionally preserved in resin before, you might be wondering what happens after your wedding day.
If you’re ready to get started, you first need to contact the shop to confirm availability before purchasing a preservation deposit. The shop recommends booking several months ahead because their availability fills up quickly.
Once your date is booked, you receive the information needed to send in your flowers and can ask any questions / concerns you may have.
When Should You Book Wedding Flower Preservation?
As early as possible!
Bupp Woodworks recommends saving your date several months in advance.
That is especially important if you have your heart set on a particular size or style. You do not want to wait until after your wedding and discover that the artist is already booked.
