What are the benefits of purchasing heirloom wedding bouquets and designs instead of those created with fresh flowers?

The most popular flowers used for weddings often die before the reception is over.

Unlike fresh flowers, our hand made heirloom flowers can be cherished for a lifetime without any type of preservation methods. 

Fresh flowers that are freeze dried or pressed will loose their original color, form and texture after a few years. In addition, it is less expensive to purchase our heirloom porcelain bouquet than it is to purchase a fresh flower bouquet and have it preserved and enclosed.

Fresh flowers that are preserved in wax will have natural blemishes and in time some of the petals will become brown. They can also be affected by heat. The edges of the petals can become soft and crack.
