STORY

Andrea & Marissa’s Wedding Bouquet Preservation

During her wedding reception, Marissa surprised her mother, Andrea, with a beautiful dedication: her bouquet, filled with pure white roses, was a tribute to her mom and the bond they share. Moved by this heartfelt gesture, Andrea knew she wanted to preserve the bouquet as a lasting memory of that moment.

When she reached out to me, it had been four days since the wedding, and the roses had already begun to show signs of browning. I picked them up immediately, determined to bring their beauty back to life. Through careful color correction, I was able to restore the bouquet’s original elegance. I then encased the roses in epoxy resin, creating stunning ‘A’ and ‘M’ letters to honor both their names.

The final pieces captured not just the flowers but the love and devotion between mother and daughter. Now, Andrea and Marissa can look upon these keepsakes and remember that special day—and the beautiful tribute shared between them—forever.
