Reviews for Forever Yours Flower Preservation and Framing
GUEST




Carol and her staff were terrific! My preserved wedding bouquet is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your hard work and professionalism - I will highly recommend your services to friends and family.
GUEST




Forever Yours preserved by wedding bouquet and groom's boutonierre and it turned out great! They really worked with you to know exactly what you want and gave helpful feedback and suggestions along the way. The only cons I have to say is the long wait (because they are in high demand) and the cost (again because of limited services in the area and high demand).
GUEST




Beautiful job with preserving my bouquet!! Took a while to finish, but definitely worth the wait!
GUEST




I had my wedding bouquet preserved together with groom's boutonniere. Service was great, very professional, everything was explained well. Due to busy season my order took almost 6 moths to make, but, trust me, it was worth the wait! It looked beautiful! I was very happy with it, it looks just like at the wedding! It is not a cheap service, but definitely worth it, I love my bouquet!! Thank you "forever yours"!!! You get an "A"!
GUEST




My cousin had her wedding flowers preserved and framed years ago, and they still look beautiful... so I knew I wanted them to preserve and frame my wedding flowers too! They took such great care of my flowers and framed a very beautiful dried flower arrangement. I was extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




Forever Yours did a beautiful job with my bouquet! They picked up the bouquet at my reception, which was very convenient. After the wedding I met with the designer to decide how to preserve the flowers. She gave me so many ideas and options. Together we created a beautiful design that also included my wedding invitation.
GUEST




They are very busy, and there was a six month wating period, so just be prepared to wait. But it is worth it.
GUEST




I went to Forever Yours to have my bouquet preserved and they were great when I went in. They explained the entire process and how everything would be arranged. They also include boutonniere preservation along with the bouquet. In the shop, they have a great array of different styles to check out and different displays to consider.
GUEST




We had my bouquet preserved at Forever Yours. They were very helpful in helping picking out a shadow box. They have lots of different styles to choose from. After we got our shadow box moisture got into the box. They allowed me to bring it back and they fixed everything! It looks still just as perfect as when we first got it. I would definitely recommend taking your bouquet to Forever Yours. It is a unique way to remember your wedding day!

I had my bouquet and my husband's boutonniere preserved in a shadowbox. Forever Yours was great. I worked with them before the wedding to make arrangements. They helped me make arrangements to have someone pickup the flowers after the reception (I had a lunch reception) and deliver them to the store. I think that getting them to the store quickly after the wedding really helped with the preservation. The flowers dried beautifully. If you are thinking about preserving your flowers, I highly recommend making arrangements or at least getting some information about steps to take to help preserve the flowers for drying prior to your wedding. 2-4 weeks after my wedding, I went to the store and looked through a wide selection of frames. Forever Yours helped me select an display arrangement within my budget. Looking back, I am really glad I planned in advance to have this done - I really enjoy looking at the flowers. And, Forever Yours was great to work with. They were very responsive, helpful and did excellent work. A friend who used them to preserve her wedding bouquet highly recommended them and I am very glad I went with her recommendation.

I was very pleased with the quality and service that I received from Forever Yours and the final product of my bouquet preservation is definitely a beautiful piece of art.
For my preservations, they preserved the individual flowers immediately, then called me back for a consultation on what I wanted done with them. This was very nice because I was able to have a bridesmaid drop my bouquet off the day after my wedding while the flowers were still in good condition (having kept it in the fridge overnight), and I had the consultation after I got back from my honeymoon.
From the examples in the studio, it appears there are endless possibilities to what all can be included in your preservation. I opted for a shadowbox and I brought in several items that I was considering for it. I worked with an associate and we came up with the collection and design that we liked best, then we chose a frame to go with it and that was all. My design includes a photo of us, and I was able to mail it in after we got them back from the photographer.
I feel it is important to note that the process after the consultation takes about 6-7 months which I didn't mind, I just wasn't aware of beforehand and was a little shocked to find out.
The reason I can only give 4 stars in the "value" category is that I thought this to be very expensive. However, it is VERY important to note that the cost depends on exactly what you have done. Shadowboxes are a different price than display cases, bubble frames, or other things. Also, you could do a few flowers rather than the entire bouquet, and the final details (such as exact frame and type of glass) also affect the price. Also, I have not shopped around for this service at all, so I can't say how it would compare to any other preservation option.
Also, I gave 4 stars for "Flexibility" because my friend had her bouquet preserved here and, to reduce costs, asked if they could use a display case from a family member's previous preservation that was no longer occupied, but they would not allow this.
Despite the minor negatives that I have listed, my preservation came out beautifully and I am very satisfied...

My bouquet looks amazing!! I absolutely LOVE it. I had my bouquet put in the 6 sided glass with a mirrorred back and bottom. I have it on display in my dining room and I am constantly getting compliments on it. I have already had a friend go to get her bouquet preserved by Forever Yours after seeing mine! A little pricy but totally worth it!!
GUEST




I had a special request to have the bouquet completed for my daughter in law as a Christmas present. They went above and beyond to ensure this happened and I am sincerely apprecaiteive for that!
GUEST




Excellent job on my bouquet preservation and framing! It looks absolutely beautiful and was definitely worth it to have something so special from our wedding day! Everything was customized and it was finished much quicker than the anticipated date.
GUEST




It did seem to take a long time. I got married in early June and was told that it would not be until around Christmas to get my flowers back. I ended up getting my flowers around Valentines day. I still love my flowers and it was worth the wait!
GUEST




I was thinking how expensive everything was when we first went. The time to get the flowers did take a while, but overall the money and time were well worth the final product.
GUEST




They did a good job drying my flowers. But as i got home after my 1.5 h drive up to the store and back the first flower fell already out of my bouquet!
I did not get a frame or case with them, since i think there prices are a little bit to expensive! I paid for just drying the flowers and getting them back in a bouquet $150 plus Gas!!! I think there Frame and Case prices are a little bit to expensive for somebody who is a little bit crafty! I found a Case at a craft-store for less then $65!!! At Forever Yours i would have payed for the same thing over $600!!!
Who is not Crafty or has somebody who can do it for them, should go with them or try to find someone that can do it for cheaper!
It took them over 6 month to get my flowers dry and back together!!
GUEST




Anon, funny you should mention how your bouquet took over 8 months...because mine did as well. Dropped the flowers off last June and it wasn't ready until late January! That's a bit more than 8 months!
Also, I don't agree with the shop owner who commented on your review...my contact info was never lost, not were any payments "pending" yet it did take more than 8 MONTHS for my bouquet to be completed...even after being quoted a 6 month turn-around time.
Now I will say, that the preservation work on my bouquet was visibly good and I am happy with the end product...however I do not appreciate the run-around I got from the store's staff, specifically the attitude from one of the staff members...nor do I appreciate how long it took to finish or the fact that the shop owner straight up LIED to you when commenting on your honest review of this place.
So, all in all, if you've got 8 months to wait around for a bouquet to preserved then sure, throw your money at this shop...if you want it in a timely fashion, I'd recommend somewhere else.
Oh and this shop has the tendency to push you into buying a shadow box or some sort of container for your preserved flowers...this is where they really take advantage of you. I've seen some containers at the shop being sold for $400 - $500, whereas literally the same container can be purchased at Hobby Lobby or AC Moore for under $50
Shop around people!
Vendor response to review
I apologize for your shadowbox taking longer to deliver - A couple of months ago I was not aware of any that were this late, this month I believe there are 4-5 of them. I am sorry this was a big issue for you. I will be happy to give you a no-mark up future custom framing project at our cost to make up for this inconvenience. Unfortunately I am now warning people with shadowboxes or oval displays that they may have to anticipate actual delivery 8-9 months after choosing their display as I had to lay off framing staff this year and until business improves, I am doing all the framing myself. More than 100 businesses like mine have gone out of business altogether in this economy and we are having to price our products and control our expenses to be sure we can survive the next 38 years in business. We are grateful for the clients who understand that this process is time consuming especially as resources become more expensive and more limited. Our pricing is more than fair (if I could charge more I would not have to lay people off.) I put my pricing on the website and make it clear when they call us so that no-one comes to us unless they can afford it. With reduced staff, I only have the time to work on a limited number of projects a year and freely admit that this product is not for the price-sensitive consumer. For those who cannot pay the industry standard $500 plus for the labor and case, I have a video I made and linked to on my website for a do-it-yourself project that would cost about $50-$100 for the case, holder, moss, wire, and stand; and about $150 for the silica gel you would need to buy for home-made preservation - this can be reused over and over. If you have any questions about the DIY I would be happy to help you - no purchase necessary. If you want us to preserve your flowers and then give you the loose flowers to do your own craft project we can do so as well.
Good luck and thank you for your frank review - I am glad for at least the one nice thing you said and apologize for the rest :)

Its been over 8 months since I dropped off my bouquet and they still haven't finished preserving the flowers!
DO NOT waste your time & money at this place. They take your hard earned dollars and make you wait and wait and wait forever just so they can have at most 2 employees working per day and so they can pay the overhead of having their shop be located in Savage Mill.
This business is a joke and I will continue to tell everyone the truth of how they operate!
For the amount of money and time wasted I could have bought a couple jars of museum wax and preserved the bouquet myself, don't make the...
