We’ve got Sarah of Lily and Loam with us today to talk about what you can do with your beautiful bouquets once your wedding is over. Lily and Loam offers flower preservation so you can keep your flowers as a tangible reminder of your big day.
Sarah specializes in functional, wearable, and decorative art, creating pieces that fit perfectly into your life. This includes framed pieces, resin pieces, and even jewelry. She started this business in 2017 working part-time, primarily on her friends’ bouquets. Then, she quickly realized just how much she could do with resin.
In 2021, the boss at her full-time job gave her an ultimatum to come in during lockdown or be let go. In hindsight, this was a blessing because it provided an opportunity to follow her passion. Sarah was doing homeschool by day and creating keepsakes at night. For her, it’s been so worth it for the connections she’s made and the ability to create pieces she loves.
The service Sarah offers is one so many newlyweds wish they would have known about in hindsight. Sarah If you’re not close enough to drop the flowers off, you can ship them right over. From there, it takes about 6-8 weeks to finish the process, and then she sends them back for her customers to enjoy.
Prices start at $300, but they may be higher depending on what the couple is looking for. Resin is amazing at preserving, so if you want to maintain the colors of your flowers, choose a resin product over a frame. Your photos are no longer the only thing that could last past your wedding day—with Lily and Loam, you can now enjoy your flowers for years to come too.
