Clients often ask why bouquet preservation prices vary so widely. DIY kits can cost under $50 but require significant labor and yield unpredictable results. Entry-level professional services start around $250 for small frames, covering basic drying and mounting. Mid-tier packages at $500–800 include resin blocks, custom engraving, and UV-resistant coatings. Luxury preservation surpasses $1,500, adding museum-grade acrylic, keepsake jewelry, and delivery in handcrafted boxes. Variables include flower size, moisture content, chosen medium, and turnaround speed. Rush orders for funeral flowers may incur 20 % surcharges due to tight timing. Geographic location affects labor rates; metropolitan studios charge more but may offer in-person consultation. Transparent pricing breakdowns—drying, casting, finishing, hardware—build trust. Couples should budget bouquet preservation alongside photography for weddings, ensuring memories live in both images and preserved flowers.
