Considering using Keepsake Floral

[mermaidbride1108]

So I haven't found any other vendors that do Floral Preservation and pick-up from your Disney Resort.

I'm considering using Keepsake Floral and their prices for Shadowboxes for
9x12 or 11x14 are $365/$466. I don't want a very large shadowbox so this seems about right.

I know alot of brides have used this vendor, what's your thoughts?

How much was your final total price once you were finished and what did you recieve?

Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks!!!

I was very happy with Keepsake Floral. I think they did a great job and I loved the way my bouquet turned out. It is currently hanging on the wall in my living room.

I got the 11x14 beaded silver shadowbox. I think after everything, my total cost was somewhere between $750-$800. I don't remember the exact price.

Here is a picture of my bouquet from my wedding day:

Here is what my keepsake looks like:

We used keepsake floral for my daughter's bouquet and for my wrist corsage and they came out beautiful. It took about 12 weeks altogether to get them back. Be sure and tell your wedding planner and your floral person (if you are using disney floral) that you want to have it preserved. Make sure you give your bouquet to your planner after the wedding and all your photos are taken. That way they know where to put it when keepsake floral comes to pick it up. One bride on here had her bouquet misplaced I think and it took them awhile to find it, I think it was under another name or something. Anyways, be sure you don't leave it at the hotel desk or somewhere like that where it might get lost by mistake. The cost depends on what kind of frame you want and other details like ribbon etc. My daughter included her invitation and the Just Married button pin that they got at Disney the next day. It is expensive, but so worth it.

I also used keepsake floral. I just got mine back a week or so ago. I need to take pics, but anyway I got myself an 11X14 oval frame with a bouquet resemblance. I upgraded the fabric to silk and the frame was victorian or something like that. I also got my mom an 8x10 floral cluster because there was a deal on it. In total (including my deposit) I sent around $900. I actually am having them do another 8x10 floral cluster for my mother in law. I know some people have had problems with them but I am very happy with my keepsake and it is worth every penny

Mine was 11x14. I think it was around $500, but I could be wrong.

I really love mine. It is expensive, but I really am so happy I have it.

I think our total was in the $900+ range.

ETA: A pp said it took them 12 weeks... it took over 20 weeks for ours so it was definitely time consuming. It took them over a month after my wedding to even have the consultation and then 4 months to complete the keepsake. Worth it in the end but don't expect to have your flowers back in a timely manner.

Melissa-yours is an excellent recreation! It really does justice to your beautiful bouquet!

I wasn't going to do Keepsake Floral. I thought this was one area I could bypass and save $$. After seeing the pictures on this thread......boy oh boy!!! I would be and and if I didn't do this and looked back later with regrets. Plus what a wonderful memory and "keepsake!"

Thank you. At first when I got it back it had taken so much time I wasn't sure if it was worth the cost. Now when I see it hanging on the wall and I remember our wedding I know it really is priceless.

I also had mine preserved with keepsake. I am SO glad I did it. Mine cost about $850.

Kendra, your Keepsake is similar to how mine is going to be. I am having the invitations and the green colored silk in the background. So nice to see how beautiful it will look!!

I got the 12x16 shadowbox, cherry frame, green silk lining. I am having my bouquet, our invitation and Bobby's boutinerre. The total cost was $638.00. I don't have it back yet but I am hoping all goes well especially after all the hassle I had in the beginning with my bouquet being missplaced. They did waive my $75.00 pick up fee which I thought was very nice.

Thank you! : I'm so glad they were able to find your bouquet! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I just got my Keepsake from my bouquet in January. I knew the flowers would preserve differently than they looked in real life, but I think they did a nice job.

I REALLY want to preserve my bouquet with Keepsake Floral. What is the CHEAPEST box or package they have? Is there a website to see pricing or any other information? Thanks!

Wow..That is stunning! I love how the flowers look with the white border and lavender lining!

I don't think I've ever seen a price list. I know the "Bouquet Recreations," which is the style most brides have on here are expensive. I think mine was over $500! You should try giving them a call to see what they can tell you before you commit to anything.

Thanks. It took me a little while to get used to it all, since my bouquet was so muted. But, it's growing on me. And since I'm a purple girl, I do LOVE the lavender lining!

I didn't want to spend a lot. I ended up getting two christmas ornaments (one for me, one for mom) and a 5x7 oval frame with a floral cluster design. I believe the total (including the deposit) was about $300. The ornaments were about $75 each and the frame was about $125 and then there was tax and stuff. It's important to remember that they aren't using all of my flowers (in fact, they are only using a few... 10 total flowers or something like that). I asked if they would send me the flowers that they didn't use and they said that they wouldn't send the leftovers unless they were in a keepsake. With a smaller design, you won't be able to have the bouquet resemblance, so you might want to keep that in mind.

Apparently, my keepsake will ship either this week or next week so I'll bump this thread up at that time to post pics.

Do you have pics? I am trying to figure it all out myself

I just had my consultation with them this past Monday. I'm so excited for when it arrives, which I know won't be any time soon. We chose to do a 15" x18" shadowbox with a bouquet resemblance, his bout and our invitation and a photo. We're also having them make an floral cluster in oval frames for each bridesmaid and my mom will have a bigger version with flowers from my bouquet, my sister's, my mom's courage and my dad's bout.

I saw a couple girls interested in pricing and they have a website with galleries and pricing. It's http://keepsakefloral.com and the pricing webpage is http://keepsakefloral.com/pricing/index.shtml. They also have this available in PDF I think.

$ 25 - bouquet resemblance
$ 25 - mounting fee for 8 seashells (typically $10/3 non-floral elements)

WHEW! For some reason, they told my mom $1512 for the grand total so I'm not really sure where the few dollar difference came in but hey! I'll take it! I'll be posting our pictures to our PJ in a minute so you'll be able to see what our flowers looked like. Hopefully I'll remember to post our frames when they are delivered in 2010.

Anyway! I hope this helps!!!
