Today on Ask the Planner Podcast, we’re talking about something that comes much later in the planning process but needs to be budgeted for and confirmed much earlier on. Flower Preservation, specifically your wedding bouquet. If you’re anything like me, you LOVE flowers and you want your wedding day flowers to live on after your wedding because they were so beautiful.
However, flower preservation isn’t something you can easily add at the last minute because flower preservation takes planning AND you have a limited window of opportunity before your flowers start to wilt.
If you’re sentimental like me or you want to appreciate the beauty of your day long after everyone’s gone home, you’re going to want to listen to today’s episode.
Should You Consider Flower Preservation for Your Wedding Bouquet? : Episode 85
After working in the wedding industry for several years in several different capacities (assisting planners, selling gowns, managing venues), Lauren found herself constantly wanting more weddings but was often sad to miss out on so many moments with friends and family when she had to work every weekend during wedding season.
Luckily, she came across flower preservation while planning her wedding in July 2021. This was an art form where she could use her hands and attention to detail, AND help people cherish their beautiful flowers from their favorite days while remaining in the wedding industry….. Plus work in sweatpants?!
HELLO?! It was a win-win-win situation!
Now, she gets to help brides, grooms, and families from around the country hold on to precious memories by preserving their flowers in resin.
She’s the owner of FLX Flower Preservation, just down the road from me.
