At Keepsake Flower Preservation, in Rochester, NY we will press and frame your precious flowers.
To preserve by pressing each rose or carnation is taken apart the
petals are pressed and then the flowers are expertly reconstructed
and colored as necessary. This is a Victorian art form and is
considered by many to be the most reliable method of flower
preservation. We place your flowers in our specially designed drying
room, which removes the moisture in about a week.
Each flower is then reconstructed and colored. Some color
changes do occur naturally for example: reds turn burgundy,
some pinks turn toward purples, whites turn ivory. This is a
natural process and should be expected. We will color your
flowers back to their original color as best as is humanly
possible.
Your bouquet can be put back together to look like it did on your
wedding day or your flowers can be arranged around your invitation
or photo. We invite the customer to become involved with the
design of their keepsake. Photos, invitations or any other
special memento may be incorporated in the artwork if it will
fit. We will even put the pearls back in your
stephanotis. Every one of our finished artworks is unique—no
two are alike. We also have a wide variety of frames and
backgrounds to choose from.
Brides are encouraged to visit our studio prior to their wedding
to view artwork samples
Consultations are free and by appointment only.
We have to work on a first come first served
basis because of limited space and resources.
It is important that the flowers arrive at
our studio while they are still fresh—usually within 48
hours. The success of the final artwork depends on the
condition of the flowers we receive. The bouquet should be
wrapped lightly in DRY paper towels or tissue paper and kept
refrigerated or in a cool place until delivery. Be gentle—try
not to bruise the flowers. DO NOT spray flowers with
water and never place in the freezer . Please call
before dropping off a bouquet so that someone will be at the studio
to receive it.

A non-refundable $100 deposit is required when we receive your flowers to cover preservation work. The deposit will be deducted from the final payment which is due upon completion of the artwork. It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to complete your artwork, but may take longer because of higher volumes. We want to give each customer the highest quality flower preservation possible and that takes many, many hours for each one. Artwork takes time.
