If you’re planning to preserve your wedding bouquet, one of the best things you can do is let your wedding planner know early in the process. At Stag Ridge Mercantile, we specialize in wedding floral preservation and have worked with many amazing planners who help their couples make the process seamless from keeping flowers fresh to getting them shipped to our studio. Here’s why your planner can be a huge asset when it comes to preserving your blooms:
They Can Keep Your Bouquet in Tip-Top Shape
Your planner is often the last person to see your bouquet before it is packed up or handed off. If they know it’s being preserved, they can:
Keep it in water after the ceremony or reception
Store it in a cool place to prevent wilting
Make sure it's not forgotten when the night ends
These small actions can make a huge difference in the quality of your pressed flower piece.
Some Planners Will Ship It for You!
Many full-service planners are happy to help you ship your bouquet directly to us. They can follow our instructions, reuse one of your shipping boxes and even schedule a UPS pickup.
Don’t forget that we offer discounted UPS labels to make the process easy and cost effective. Just have your planner reach out ahead of time so we can set everything up.
They Can Collaborate With Your Florist
Some planners are deeply involved in the floral design process and can help you choose blooms that not only look amazing on your wedding day, but will also press beautifully.
They can coordinate with your florist to:
Choose press-friendly flowers
Include special blooms for preservation
Choose the freshest in-season flowers
This is especially helpful if you are designing a custom pressed flower frame with ribbon, invitation pieces or additional floral elements.
Preserve Your Wedding Flowers the Smart Way
Preserving your bouquet is more than just a keepsake, it is a way to carry a piece of your wedding day with you for years to come. By looping your planner into the process, you’re setting your flowers (and yourself) up for success. At Stag Ridge Mercantile, we create pressed flower art that captures the beauty and emotion of your day. With the help of your planner, your bouquet can be carefully protected, properly shipped
and beautifully transformed into a timeless piece of art. Planning to preserve your wedding bouquet? Tell your planner early and let us know how we can help make it easy!
