Keep Your Flowers and Memories for a lifetime
flowers hold memories, emotions, and love. You spend countless hours designing your wedding—every detail thoughtfully chosen—until the day finally arrives and everything feels like a fairy tale. Flower preservation allows those once-in-a-lifetime blooms to live on beyond the day itself, capturing the beauty and meaning of the moment as it unfolds. It’s a way to hold onto those precious memories in real time, transforming fleeting flowers into lasting keepsakes you can cherish for years to come.
Spring florals
"If people did not love each other, I really do not see what use there would be in having any springtime."
-from Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
Summer florals
"It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside." ―Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy-Tacy and Tib
Fall florals
“Even now I remember those pictures, like pictures in a storybook one loved as a child. Radiant meadows, mountains vaporous in the trembling distance; leaves ankle-deep on a gusty autumn road; bonfires and fog in the valleys; cellos, dark window-panes, snow.” ~ Donna Tartt, The Secret History
Winter florals
“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”
― Mary Oliver
Testimonials
-
Leah was an absolutely incredible person to work with and is insanely talented in her craft. From the moment I saw Leah's work, I knew I would be so lucky to have her as our florist, but from the moment I spoke with her I knew this was exactly the right fit for us.

I had to take a walk around the venue with my mom for a very special 10 minutes just to marvel Leah's beautiful, stunning, awe-inspiring work.

Leah is an artist. Our wedding turned out better than any of the pinterest "inspiration" photos I had. I know nothing about flowers or candles or tablescapes - Leah was incredibly patient and kind while helping me figure out what I liked and didnt like. She was super informative and had so many ideas and examples - she came with beautiful plans for our wedding that were beyond my wildest dreams.
