White Dahlia & Garden Rose Bridal Bouquet Preserved in Acrylic Vanity Tray + Ornament | Bloomsake
This all-white bridal bouquet — full of dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, stock, and eucalyptus — was transformed into not one, but two timeless keepsakes: a pressed flower acrylic vanity tray and a matching round ornament. Now the beauty of her wedding day lives on in pieces she can display, use, and cherish forever.
About This Preservation
The bouquet featured lush white dahlias, cream garden roses, ranunculus, white stock blossoms, and trails of fresh eucalyptus — a breathtaking all-white palette that pressed exceptionally well. Each bloom was individually pressed and dried, then hand-arranged beneath clear acrylic resin.
The finished collection includes:
- Acrylic Vanity Tray — A full-size clear acrylic tray with gold handles, showcasing a lush arrangement of pressed flowers and eucalyptus leaves. Functional and beautiful on any vanity, dresser, or coffee table.
- Pressed Flower Ornament — A round clear resin ornament with a white satin ribbon, featuring a single statement dahlia bloom. A keepsake she can hang every year.

Why White Dahlias Preserve So Beautifully
White and cream dahlias are among our absolute favorite blooms to press. Their layered petals flatten into an almost sculptural shape, and the creamy ivory tones develop a gorgeous antique warmth during the pressing process. Paired with garden roses and eucalyptus, this arrangement had incredible depth and texture that translated perfectly into both pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does flower preservation work?
We use two main techniques: pressed flower preservation and resin flower preservation. For pressed pieces, we carefully flatten and dry each flower, then arrange and mount them in a frame or tray. For resin pieces, we dry the flowers and suspend them in layers of crystal-clear epoxy resin, creating a durable, glass-like keepsake. Both methods capture the natural color and beauty of your blooms.
How soon after my wedding or event should I send my flowers?
We recommend shipping your flowers within 3–5 days of your event for the best results. Fresher flowers press more vibrantly and hold their color better. If you used ground shipping or your flowers have started to dry slightly, don't worry — we've worked with flowers in all conditions and can still create a beautiful keepsake. Just contact us before shipping if you're unsure.
What types of flowers can be preserved?
We can preserve virtually any flower — roses, peonies, garden roses, dahlias, ranunculus, hydrangea, eucalyptus, baby's breath, lilies, carnations, wildflowers, and more. Flat-faced blooms tend to press most beautifully, while three-dimensional flowers like orchids and tulips work best in resin. If you have an unusual flower, just ask us and we'll let you know the best preservation method.
How long does the preservation process take?
Our standard turnaround time is 6–8 weeks from when we receive your flowers. We take this time to carefully press, dry, arrange, and craft your keepsake by hand. Rush orders may be available — contact us to ask about expedited timelines.
Will my flowers fade over time?
All organic materials will gradually age over decades, but Bloomsake keepsakes are crafted to last generations when cared for properly. Keep your piece out of direct sunlight, in a stable temperature environment, and away from high humidity. Resin pieces are especially durable and UV-resistant. Many of our customers display their keepsakes for 10, 20, even 30+ years without noticeable fading.
Do you offer nationwide flower preservation?
Yes! We accept mail-in flower preservation orders from anywhere in the United States. After placing your order, you'll receive packaging instructions and a prepaid shipping label. We recommend 2-day shipping for the freshest results. For brides and clients in the Houston, TX area, we also offer local drop-off and pick-up appointments.
How much does flower preservation cost?
Our pricing varies by keepsake style and size. Pressed flower frames start at $195, acrylic trays from $225, and resin blocks from $275. Each piece is entirely custom-made, so pricing may vary based on the complexity of your arrangement. Visit our pricing page for full details, or start your order to see options for your flowers.
Can I preserve flowers that arrived by ground shipping?
Yes — we've created many beautiful keepsakes from flowers shipped via ground. While we always recommend 2-day shipping for the freshest results, flowers that arrive a bit wilted or dried can still be pressed and preserved beautifully. Ground shipping bouquets may have slightly different color results but often still turn out stunning. As one of our brides put it: even ground-shipped flowers can come out looking beautiful when handled with care.
