We've been creating memorable keepsakes since 1997 serving customers all over the US.
Our specialty is our years of experience in freeze dry preservation, our knowledge of the florist industry (we are also florists), and that we also have a custom framing business within our walls. This enables you to have endless choices in frame mouldings, backgrounds, window mat options, and glass options including Museum Glass.
Whether you're a bride-to-be or you want a cherished item preserved beautifully for years to come, we can help.
Call us today at 800-568-1338 or email info@forever-flowers.com.
PRESERVE FLOWERS NOW...
If you have flowers to preserve now, you will need to send them to our location as soon as possible.
You will be shipping them to us on the first business day after the event. Try to keep the flowers cool and hydrated until placing in the box on the day of shipping. DO NOT FREEZE. The US Post Office is very reasonable in price, but ask for a signature confirmation. Ship out late in the day to arrive next day. A good sturdy cardboard box with packaging such as popcorn, newspaper, tissue is fine to support the flowers. If you are able to place a freezer pack (frozen) in the bottom of box, please secure it so it doesn't damage the flowers.
Please include contact information in the box; name of contact person and customer name, address, phone, email. The deposit of $185 can be made with a check written to "Forever Flowers" or you can use a credit card on the phone. This will be applied to your keepsake. The framing can be chosen in the weeks to come.

Size of keepsake
Because we cut all frames and build each shadowbox in our shop, the pricing is less than that of a company who purchases premade frames. The choices are also endless and we make any size you want. There is no extra charge for including items such as pictures, invitations, save-the-date, etc.
Average prices for a bridal keepsake can range from $300 to $440 for an average size bouquet. We have smaller keepsakes that will hold a portion of the flowers starting at $95 and up.
ASK US ABOUT ANY CURRENT DISCOUNTS... when frames are discontinued we are able to offer at 10% discount.
WHAT IS FREEZE-DRYING?
Freeze-drying requires usage of a specialized machine. The top chamber will hold approximately 30 bouquets.
When the flowers are placed in the machine the temperature is -30 degrees F. At this point, special loading skills are requred to best position flowers before being frozen to avoid being frozen in a non-desirable shape. Physical placement in the machine (top, bottom, front, rear) is very important for certain flower types. Within a few hours the florals are solidly frozen.
The frozen moisture is extracted under vacume and can take up to 6 weeks in the cycle. Because we have multiple freeze-dry machines, your flowers will ALWAYS be placed directly in a freeze-dry machine, not a holding freezer which is meant for food.
Although most flowers do well in this process, it is best to ask us about your flowers. There are a few we do not suggest to use: bouvardia, daisies (Gerbera's are ok), lily of the valley, and wildflower types.
