PRESS-3D™
This innovative preservation method offers a stunning 3D arrangement in a 4-inch-deep shadow box frame. Design options include various background colors and upgrade options.

Things to be aware of within both Preservations
Flowers in the Floral Block will dry to how they were bound by the florist and arrived to us. If in the case where there is some petal fall out, some flowers can be rebuilt or we can add Inventory (additional fee) for any items that may need to be Supplemented.
Not all flowers preserve the same–some will look different preserved than when they were fresh. While the overall look of your flowers will remain the same, you should expect color changes on most of your flowers. Most flowers tend to dry with a darker hue. For example, red roses turn burgundy, white flowers turn ivory, hot-pink flowers turn purple, hydrangeas usually don’t retain their shape, and some flowers show translucent spots on the petals due to bruising when they were fresh.
* Even with the Color Restoration-Damaged flowers might not fully hold the color restoration to its fullest. Both preservations might show bruises, not hold evenly with color or will slightly become translucent in Resin. Floral Block- Older/air-dried flowers will be more enclosed “bulb like” with curled edges in comparison to a more freshly opened flowers *
Please note that no color enhancing is incorporated prior to the natural florals being encapsulated in the resin for our smaller must-have items (wine stoppers, ring diamonds, lucky charms).
Please be advised that all resin pieces from Save the Bouquet are unique and vary from piece to piece. Florals are utilized in the resin art pieces after being preserved. Most of your flowers will go through our Flower Beautification Process prior to the natural florals being encapsulated in the resin. After flowers are casted in resin, these may fade to a degree. Please note that florists often dye your flowers to achieve the look you wanted. Painted/dyed flowers by a wholesaler, florist or even by us, may show some bleeding.
All epoxy will yellow; however, we use state-of-the-art casting resins that have UV inhibitors in them that will delay the change in color.An amber-look should be expected. We recommend not to display them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to delay the process.
All our products are hand-made. Due to the nature of resin, some products produce more bubbles than others, and small pockets of air may be formed.
Thickness of our floral blocks will vary depending on the flora (typically 1-3 inches thick). Big flowers are not suitable for those blocks that are 1-2 inches thick).
