When Should You Book Your Bouquet Preservation?

Your wedding day is filled with moments you'll cherish forever, and your bridal bouquet is a beautiful symbol of that special day. Preserving your bouquet allows you to keep those memories alive for years to come.

As a bridal bouquet preservation artist in the UK, I’m here to guide you on the best time to book your bouquet preservation and how to ensure your flowers are preserved perfectly.

Booking Before the Wedding

Plan Ahead

It's never too early to start thinking about preserving your bouquet. Ideally, you should book your preservation well in advance of your wedding day. During the busy summer wedding season, preservation artists get booked up quickly, so securing your spot early ensures your bouquet will receive the care it deserves.

Why Book Early?

  • Availability: During peak wedding season, slots fill up fast. Booking early guarantees that you have a spot reserved.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your bouquet preservation is taken care of allows you to focus on other aspects of your wedding planning.

  • Preparation: Early booking gives you time to understand the process, gather necessary materials for posting your bouquet, and follow any specific instructions from your preservation artist.

Booking After the Wedding

Act Quickly

If your wedding has already passed, it’s important to get in touch with a preservation artist as soon as possible. Fresh flowers preserve best, and the sooner you start the process, the better the results will be.

Immediate Steps

  1. Contact a Preservation Artist: Reach out immediately to discuss your options and availability.

  2. Prepare Your Bouquet: Follow any instructions given by your artist to prepare your bouquet for shipping. This may include storing it in a cool, dry place in a vase of water.

  3. Ship Promptly: Send your bouquet as quickly as possible to ensure it arrives in the best condition for preservation.

Handling Post-Wedding

  • Don’t Delay: Time is of the essence. The longer you wait, the more your flowers can wilt and deteriorate.

  • Communicate: Keep in close contact with your preservation artist to coordinate the quickest and safest shipping method.

Summer Wedding Season: Plan Ahead

The summer months are a popular time for weddings, which means bouquet preservation artists are in high demand. If your wedding is during this peak season, booking your preservation early is even more crucial.

Why Summer is Busy

  • High Demand: Many couples choose summer for their weddings due to the beautiful weather, leading to a surge in bouquet preservation requests.

  • Limited Slots: Preservation artists can only handle a limited number of bouquets at a time to ensure each one gets the attention it needs.

Booking your bridal bouquet preservation early, whether before or immediately after your wedding, is essential to ensure your flowers are preserved beautifully. During the busy summer wedding season, spots fill up quickly, so planning ahead is key. If your wedding has already passed, don’t delay—contact a preservation artist right away to start the process.

Preserving your bouquet is a wonderful way to keep a piece of your special day with you forever.
