Preserved Flowers Explained – Price, Durability & Advantages

When it comes to floral gifts or home décor, most people instantly think of fresh-cut flowers. They’re beautiful, yes — but they fade fast. Within days, you’re left with wilted petals and a vase to clean. That’s where preserved flowers come in — the timeless, elegant alternative that combines beauty with durability.

Whether you’ve just discovered preserved flowers or are considering them for a special occasion, here’s everything you need to know.

What Are Preserved Flowers?

Preserved flowers are real, natural flowers that have undergone a special preservation process to maintain their fresh appearance for months — or even years. Unlike dried flowers, preserved blooms remain soft to the touch, hold their shape, and keep their color beautifully.

No water. No sunlight. No daily care.

Why Are Preserved Flowers More Expensive?

It’s a fair question. You may notice preserved flower arrangements cost more upfront than fresh flowers — but here’s why:

• They last 30–50x longer than fresh flowers.
• Each piece is handmade, often using artistic floral design.
• They require no maintenance, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
• They use premium-quality flowers sourced and preserved under strict conditions.

So while the price tag may seem higher initially, preserved flowers actually offer greater value over time.

How Long Do Preserved Flowers Last?

With proper care (meaning: keep away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong heat), preserved flowers can last 1–3 years or more. Many of our clients still enjoy their arrangements after several years!

Compare that to fresh flowers that last 5 to 10 days, and you see why preserved florals are a more sustainable and thoughtful investment.
