Read more about shipping from Santa Monica Show less
Santa Monica is in Los Angeles County, so you can hand the bouquet over without packing anything. Bring it to our Los Angeles drop-off point exactly as it is, or have us collect it. We take care of the transport to the studio.
The coast is easier on flowers than inland heat, but it has its own issue. Salt air and steady onshore wind dry petals out over a long beachfront reception. Get the bouquet indoors once the formal photos are finished and put the stems in water. The marine layer keeps things cool overnight, which helps, as long as the flowers are not sitting in a car.
Shipping is available too, and our step-by-step packing guide covers packing the box dry. But from Ocean Avenue, Venice, Brentwood or Marina del Rey the drive is short and the drop-off is faster. Aim for about two days after the wedding whichever you choose.
Why us
Why Santa Monica clients choose Florals Memories
-
Flowers that still look like your flowers
Color, shape and presence hold instead of fading to brown and brittle. Roses, peonies, orchids and hydrangea each dry differently. Across 5,000+ preserved bouquets we have learned what each one needs. That is what keeps a bouquet beautiful years from now.
-
Made to be displayed
Every piece is designed to be seen. Choose a pressed frame for the wall, a resin block or tray for the shelf, or a shadow box with real depth. Each one is finished as art for your home.
-
You will always know where your flowers are
You hear from us as your piece moves through each stage. Nothing goes quiet after you book. Questions are answered quickly, by the specialists making your keepsake.
-
Designed around your flowers
Your keepsake is built around your bouquet, not a template. Pick the format, the frame or resin style, and the layout — floating garden, corner garden, diagonal cascade and more. Add an invitation or a photo if you want one. We guide every choice and confirm the design with you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to ship my flowers from Santa Monica?
No. Los Angeles County has our drop-off point, where you hand the bouquet over exactly as it is — nothing needs packing. We take it to our Irvine studio from there. We can also collect from you, or send a prepaid label if you would rather ship.
Do you preserve bridal bouquets and other wedding flowers from Santa Monica?
Yes. Bridal flower preservation is one of our core services. We preserve bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and other wedding florals from Santa Monica weddings and elopements, turning them into pressed frames, resin keepsakes, shadow boxes, and more.
How soon should I get my bouquet to you after the event?
As soon as you reasonably can — ideally within about two days. Keep the stems in water until you hand the flowers over. Nothing needs packing at all if you are using our Los Angeles drop-off point.
How long does flower preservation take?
Flower preservation typically takes about 30–35 weeks from the time we receive your flowers to when we ship your finished keepsake. If you need it sooner, expedited flower preservation (about 8 weeks) is available for $120 when capacity allows.
Can I get both pressed flower frames and resin keepsakes from one bouquet?
Yes. Many clients choose both pressed flower frames and resin keepsakes from a single bouquet. We advise on how to split blooms based on bouquet size, bloom types, and the condition of the flowers when they arrive.
Do you serve Downtown Santa Monica, Ocean Avenue, and other Westside communities?
Yes. We serve Santa Monica and the wider Westside region, including Downtown Santa Monica, Ocean Avenue, and surrounding communities. Flower preservation works the same way across the state: you either bring your flowers to us or send them in with a prepaid label.
What if my flowers arrive damaged after shipping?
Flower condition after shipping can vary with packing and transit. Follow our packing guide carefully before you ship. If anything looks off when your flowers arrive at our studio, contact us and we will walk you through the options available for your order.
Do you only preserve wedding flowers, or other occasions too?
No. Memorial arrangements, anniversary florals, graduation bouquets, and other meaningful flowers are welcome for pressed and resin preservation.
