Preserve My Petals is a West Bloomfield, Michigan floral preservation studio specializing in petal by petal reconstruction and color correction techniques.
Every petal is taken apart, dried, and rebuilt petal by petal, so the finished piece looks the way your flowers looked the day you carried them.
Petals lose color as they dry. We restore them selectively with high quality artist pigments, which extends how long your colors stay vibrant.

Look up your date on our availability calendar. We preserve flowers from weddings, anniversaries, celebrations and memorial services, and if your event has already passed we can almost always still help.
Choose your frame size, color and finish, along with any smaller keepsakes you would like made from the same flowers. Payment is made at booking, so it is one less thing to remember later. Your contract arrives by email within the hour, and once it is signed your date is reserved.
Drop off locally to our West Bloomfield studio the Monday following your event or Tuesday/Wednesday if booking last minute. Full care and drop off instructions are emailed one month beforehand, or immediately after booking if your event has already taken place. On a wedding weekend, designating a family member or friend to handle drop off is highly recommended. Shipping is also available.
Your flowers go into the press. We change papers several times a week and keep a close eye on your petals throughout. Once dry, every flower is rebuilt petal by petal, color corrected by hand with artist pigments, then designed, glued and framed. We will keep you updated at each stage. Most pieces are complete in 6 to 9 months. When your piece is finished, we will email you to arrange pickup at the studio or shipping.

Frame your flowers for the wall, and set the same petals in resin as coasters, a ring dish, a paperweight or a keychain you carry every day.
When flowers are pressed they can lose vibrancy and appear dull or faded. We selectively apply high quality artist pigments to your pressed flowers to restore or enhance their colors.
Professional quality, UV blocking Conservation Clear glass on every main piece we create, which slows the natural fading that reaches every pressed flower in time. Professional solid wood frames with beveled, beaded or ornate detail, available in six finishes. Choose a linen backing, or floating double glass where your petals are suspended between two panes.
We are a team, which means room for a last minute bouquet and more skilled hands on every piece.
Order your main piece first. Add-ons are made from your leftover flowers.
