Preserving beauty. Honoring life.
Preserving More Than Just Flowers
“My cousin Michelle (Shelly) was called to heaven at the age of 35. Shelly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease as a teenager. It is an awful rare disease that destroys nerves & spinal cord leaving one wheel chair bound. It eventually attacks the brain. With all Shelly was dealt her love for the Lord and life never wavered. She could always see a silver lining and did so with a radiant smile. We would say she spread glitter everywhere she went.
I left the funeral home with only grief and flowers. Shortly after this time I found Marjorie Jean on Facebook. I never knew such a service existed. I provided the flowers and they were preserved to reflect that radiant smile I knew. This piece is a daily reminder of the light we sometimes cannot see after a loss. I am so thankful of Rachael for that!” -Jenna S.
Not Just One Way to Preserve
From trays and ring holders to bookends, coasters, and custom shapes — there are many beautiful ways to preserve memorial flowers in a way that honors your story. Here’s a look at what’s possible:
How It Works
We know this process often happens during a difficult time — so we’ve made it as simple and supportive as possible.
Please note:
Flowers must arrive within 2–4 days of the event for drying. They should be kept in fresh water, away from sunlight, and never stored in a fridge.
Book your order
If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to reach out for guidance. We’re happy to help you decide what’s possible with your flowers. Or, if you’re ready, you can go ahead and choose your pieces directly from our shop, and we’ll follow up promptly with next steps and care instructions.
Send or drop off your flowers.
We offer local drop-off or pick-up (for a small fee) in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area. For orders outside that area, we can provide an overnight FedEx label and packing instructions.
We preserve and design.
Flowers are dried using professional methods, then carefully arranged in your chosen keepsakes. We keep you updated through a client portal so you always know what stage your project is in.
Your piece is delivered with care.
Once your item is fully cured and finished, we’ll send it your way — beautifully packaged and ready to be treasured.
An Option for Everyone.
From picture frames and gemstones, to trinket dishes and Christmas ornaments, there’s a piece to honor every memory. Whether you’re preserving a full arrangement or a single bloom that holds deep meaning, we offer thoughtful options for every story. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted to reflect the beauty of the life it represents—no memory is too big or too small.
Floral Paperweights offer a refined way to preserve meaningful flowers in a compact, sculptural form designed for everyday display. Created using your wedding bouquet or memorial flowers, each paperweight is custom preserved in crystal-clear resin, allowing florals to retain their natural color, depth, and detail.
Available in a standing round, standing heart, or standing arch, these pieces provide versatile shape options while maintaining a consistent scale. Floral paperweights work beautifully on desks, shelves, or bedside tables, serving as subtle yet meaningful reminders of life’s most important moments.
Handcrafted in Omaha, Nebraska, every floral paperweight is one-of-a-kind and designed specifically for your flowers.

These pieces are absolutely perfect for any occasion I was able to get a heart shaped paper paperweight for my mother, and she loved it. If you search her Etsy, you could also find a few cute hair clips to give to your girls as well. But her specialty is definitely her flower pieces. They are so breathtakingly beautiful and the customer service is amazing. The ease in quickness of response is unmatched.

What You Need To Know
-
If you’re local, you can drop off your flowers by appointment or request a pickup for a small fee. For out-of-town clients, we offer prepaid overnight FedEx shipping labels to make it easy—or you’re welcome to overnight them using the carrier of your choice. We’ll send detailed packing instructions to keep your blooms safe in transit!
-
The typical turnaround time is currently 6-8 months. This includes a minimum of 8 weeks for flower drying, followed by color correction, custom layout design, resin pouring in multiple layers, and detailed finishing work for each piece. Throughout the process, you’ll have access to your personal client portal, where you can see real-time updates, view photos, track progress, and message us directly!
-
We use only professional-grade materials and custom molds—no shortcuts or mass-produced supplies. Each piece is crafted with the best epoxy formula for its size and shape, using flowers treated to prevent yellowing, fading, or deterioration. All materials are sourced from trusted U.S. small businesses, and pieces are poured in premium molds for a smooth, high-gloss finish. Plus, every client gets access to a private portal with real-time updates, photos of their piece in progress, and the ability to message us directly throughout the process.
-
When working with fresh flowers, it’s important to get them to us as quickly as possible—we cannot preserve wilted fresh flowers, as their quality affects the final result. To keep them in the best condition, place the stems in water, keep them out of direct sunlight, and store them in a cool spot (NOT a refrigerator) until you’re ready to ship or drop them off. If your flowers are already dried (but not wilted or moldy), we may still be able to use them for an additional fee—just reach out, and we’ll assess if they’re workable!
