Why Preserved Flowers?

Home/Store/From the Flower Press/Why Preserved Flowers?

We’ve all been there. The gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers that looks stunning for a few days, only to wilt and fade into a sad reminder of its former glory. Or perhaps you’ve considered dried flowers, with their rustic charm but sometimes brittle nature. And silk? Well, some are lovely, but they often lack that authentic touch.

If you're nodding along, it's time to let you in on a secret that's making those older options feel a bit… well, last season. Enter the world of preserved flowers – the sophisticated, sustainable, and stunningly beautiful choice that’s changing the floral game.

What Are Preserved Flowers?

Preserved flowers are 100% real flowers that have undergone a special, eco-friendly preservation process. Freshly harvested at their peak bloom, they are treated with a plant-based, biodegradable liquid. This rehydrates the flower, maintaining its natural beauty, soft texture, and vibrant colour for months, or even years, without any need for water or sunlight.

Think of it as nature’s beauty, paused in time.

Why Preserved Flowers?

An Investment in Lasting Beauty: One beautiful arrangement can grace your home or office for an incredibly long time, making them more cost-effective and less wasteful.

Effortlessly Chic: They provide consistent, year-round beauty without any of the fuss. Perfect for busy lifestyles and for maintaining a stylish space.

A Sustainable Choice: By lasting longer, they reduce the cycle of waste associated with fresh flowers and offer a natural alternative to plastic silk flowers.

Allergy-Friendly: With pollen removed during the preservation process, they are often a great option for those who suffer from flower allergies.

Perfect for Gifting & Events: Imagine a wedding bouquet that becomes a lasting keepsake, or a gift that reminds someone of your thoughtfulness for years to come.

Preserved vs. Fresh Flowers: The Longevity Champions

Fresh flowers are undeniably beautiful, but their beauty is fleeting.

Lifespan: A week, maybe two if you're lucky.
Maintenance: Daily water changes, trimming stems, hoping they don't droop prematurely.
Cost: Constantly replacing them adds up significantly over time.
The "Sad Goodbye": Inevitably, they end up in the compost.

Preserved Flowers, on the other hand:

Lifespan: Enjoy their beauty for months, often years!
Maintenance: Virtually zero! No water, no wilting, just occasional light dusting.
Cost: A smart investment. While the initial outlay might be more than a single fresh bunch, their longevity means incredible value for money.
The "Hello Again!": They remain a consistent, beautiful feature in your space.

Preserved Flowers shine because:

They ARE Real: They offer genuine, natural beauty because they are natural.
Eco-Friendlier: Made from real plants and preserved using biodegradable solutions. They are a more sustainable choice than plastics.
The Real Touch: Nothing beats the delicate texture and authentic appearance of a real petal.
Sophisticated Aesthetic: They bring an elegance that artificial flowers often struggle to match.
