Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding and spends months, sometimes years, planning - all for that one special day she will remember and cherish for her entire life.

Traditionally there have only been a few ways to preserve those memories so your children and grandchildren could experience that cherished moment in your life. Recently a new industry has emerged making it possible to preserve a part of your wedding for a lifetime.

Specialists can preserve your wedding bouquet, the same flowers you walked down the isle with, through a space-age process called freeze drying.

This process extracts the water from your flowers using a special machine. The flowers maintain their shape, color and smell, and will last for a lifetime. Most professionals will then reassemble your bouquet and mount it in an oval frame with a special dome for you and your family to cherish forever.

Until recently, this service has been reserved for an elite few with prices well above $400.00 for a single wedding bouquet. However, as the popularity of this service has increased over the years, larger companies have entered the market and brought the price down.

Now a bride can afford to have her memories preserved with prices starting around $99.00 to give her bridal bouquet lasting keep-sake value.
