Preserved flowers are real flowers that have undergone a specialized preservation process to maintain their natural beauty, texture, and softness for years without the need for water or sunlight.
Unlike fresh flowers, preserved flowers require extensive craftsmanship. Each bloom is carefully prepared through a series of delicate handcrafting techniques, including petal reshaping, hand-opening, wiring, and floral construction. Combined with premium imported materials, preserved floral designs are often more valuable than fresh flower arrangements due to both the quality of the flowers and the labor-intensive artistry involved.
With proper care, preserved flowers typically last between 1 to 3 years, and often even longer.
To maximize their longevity, keep arrangements away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and moisture. Since preserved flowers do not require water, they can remain beautiful for many years while retaining their natural appearance.
Every piece is an original design created by Grace Chen, founder of Grace Aesthetic Flower & Arts.
With over 8 years of professional experience in preserved floral design and certification from Japan’s AUBE Preserved Flower Institute, Grace brings together international techniques, artistic vision, and meticulous craftsmanship.
Each flower is carefully hand-prepared through a series of detailed processes, including petal reshaping, hand-opening blooms, wiring, and floral construction. Depending on the complexity of the design, a single piece may take several hours—or even days—to complete.
This dedication to craftsmanship makes every creation truly one of a kind.
To maintain the beauty of your preserved floral arrangement:
* Keep away from direct sunlight
* Avoid high humidity and moisture
* Do not water the flowers
* Avoid touching the petals excessively
