At Always & Forever we create framed keepsakes utilizing your bouquet and wedding flowers or your wedding invitation.  We also offer framed wedding picture mats with a floral design that surrounds your favorite wedding picture.

We seal each keepsake in an air-tight environment which will ensure the brilliant and vibrant colors of your flowers for years of enjoyment. Depending upon the product you select, you have the option to customize your design by selecting the size, shape, floral design, frame selection and mat board color. 

Consultations are complimentary and strongly recommended. Visiting the studio prior to your wedding day allows you to view the gallery and discuss preferred flowers that are exceptional to the flower pressing process. Wedding bouquets tend to be primarily white and crème in color. We encourage brides to also utilize their wedding flowers to add color that will enhance the beauty of the bridal keepsake. We will also review the care, handling and transporting instructions for your bouquet and wedding flowers. In some cases brides are not able to attend the consultation until after the wedding day. Therefore, it is imperative plans are made with a family member or friend to deliver the bouquet and wedding flowers to the studio.

The beauty of your floral keepsake is contingent upon the freshness of your flowers. It is crucial that your flowers arrive at the studio as promptly as possible after your wedding. The freshness of the flowers will affect the quality of the completed keepsake. Flowers can be sent by overnight mail or delivered in person. In caring for your flowers prior to sending them to the studio, you will need to wrap your bouquet lightly in paper towels and place it in a cool, refrigerated place. For hand-tied bouquets, give the base of the stems a fresh cut and place the bouquet in a vase containing a few inches of water and refrigerate. Do not place the bouquet in the coldest section of the refrigerator or in the freezer and do not spray flowers with water. Remove all apples and onions from the refrigerator to prevent the petals of the flowers from browning. 

A $75 non-refundable deposit is required when the studio receives the flowers. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the design. The preparation, design time and framing process will take place over a 6-8 week period of time. You will receive your keepsake(s) once your order is paid in full. 

Keep us in mind to preserve the sentimental value of your flowers for other special occasions such as the birth of a child, a prom, graduation, birthday, anniversary or the loss of a loved one.

In addition to wedding and floral keepsake designs, we also offer gown preservation services. Retain your gown’s brilliant color and protect it from discoloration caused by stains or yellowing by having it heirloomed today.
