From dresses to decor, from bouquets to having them preserved, there are many things you may need inspiration for if you’re planning a wedding. We're sure of one place you’ve probably been recently– Pinterest, the best place to gather inspo for your dream wedding. Pinterest allows you to browse through thousands of photos to find what will look just right for you. 

One bridal aesthetic we’ve been loving is that of the Modern Romantic. This look often features soft and timeless details mingled with contemporary sensibilities. Think lush flowers and chic silk dresses, fairy lights and tall glass vases. Combining the look of the modern romantic with preserved flowers is an obvious choice for us! If you love this style, you probably want to hang on to the memories of your gorgeous wedding. Flower preservation with Element Preservation is the best way to hold those beautiful blooms for years to come. 

From Pinterest to Preservation 

Element Preservation prides ourselves on presenting a number of options for frames and resin pieces that fit any aesthetic. The modern romantic style is one that is suited to a few of our various products. Frames and functional resin allow your flowers to stay with you for years to come, and we can’t think of anything much more romantic to that. 

Frames 

We have been so excited to introduce a new frame color this year, and we think it fits right in with the modern romantic look. Our brand new walnut frame option is an excellent choice. The depth of the wood tone brings out the gorgeous natural colors of the flowers within, and provides an elegant overall feel. The walnut frame is rich and luxurious without being flashy, just perfect for a modern romantic look

White frames will also look great with this aesthetic, especially if it carries into your home decor. We recommend choosing your frame color not just based on your flowers, but also considering the placement of it in your home and what will surround it. White frames match most homes, and their sleek simplicity allows flowers to truly shine and stand out, as do our black frames. Either of these solid colored frames will showcase your preservation artwork in a way that lets your flowers come to the forefront. 

Resin Pieces 

Resin preservation for your bouquet allows you to not only admire your flowers for years to come, but also to enjoy getting further use out of them. When it comes to choosing resin shapes and handle colors for the modern romantics of the world, we would suggest our rectangle serving trays, long and narrow display trays, and timeless circle shaped ring dishes or coasters. The clean lines of these shapes make for a way to display your flowers in a way that mimics the simplicity of a modern romantic style. 

Handle color may just depend on your flowers, though we love the somewhat industrial look offered by the black handles for our serving trays. 

Our Modern Romantic Bride 

Recently, we had the honor of creating a beautiful set of floral keepsakes for Jaina Lopez, a bride whose wedding was all about modern romance. Her bouquet of white roses, orchids, and cascading bleached amaranthus was transformed into a gorgeous pressed flower frame. Jaina chose to showcase her preserved bridal bouquet in a 16x20 gold floating frame, capturing all the romantic details of her flowers behind glass in a way that will allow her and her husband to look back on that special day for years to come.

Not only did they choose to save the bridal bouquet, but the couple also added a serving tray that replicated elements of their centerpieces. Straight out of a Pinterest vision board, these centerpieces featured puffs of hydrangea and delicately dyed lisianthus, which our team lovingly transformed into a functional piece of art. 

Like Jaina, you can take your favourite Pinterest inspired, modern romantic floral touches from your wedding and see them become treasured heirlooms for you and your family. Jaina took advantage of our Peony Experience to help create the perfect recipe for her preservation pieces. This allowed her to get hands on with the design team, see proofs, share revisions, and receive something that was full bespoke and true to her vision as a modern romantic bride. 

Modern Romance in a Timeless Tradition 

People have been preserving their flowers for generations, and we hope they never stop! We hope you take your modern romantic bouquet from Pinterest boards, to the aisle, to our doors, then back to you as an heirloom piece. 

When planning your wedding, using Pinterest can be one of the most helpful ways to save ideas. After the wedding, save your flowers with us at Element Preservation. Like Jaina Lopez, you can have the full Peony Experience, and chat with our design experts about how to capture your vision.
