The Timeless Story of Preserved Flowers

Flowers have always been symbols of love, beauty, and celebration — but their beauty fades too soon. From this simple truth, the art of preserved flowers was born.

🌿 Origins in Japan and France

The concept of preserving real flowers began in Japan and France in the late 20th century. Japanese florists first experimented with dehydration and color preservation to extend the life of delicate blooms. Around the same time, French floral artisans developed a glycerin-based technique that could maintain the flower’s softness and vibrant color for months, even years.

🌹 From Technique to Art

What began as a technical innovation soon evolved into an art form. Designers combined science with aesthetics — creating floral arrangements that looked eternally fresh. The preserved flower became not just a symbol of beauty that lasts, but also of sustainability and craftsmanship.

🌼 A Global Trend

Today, preserved flowers are loved worldwide. From luxury boutiques in Paris to creative studios in Dubai, they represent a modern lifestyle — elegant, eco-friendly, and enduring. Their long-lasting charm makes them ideal for gifts, interior décor, and weddings that wish to hold onto beauty beyond a single day.

💫 The Beauty That Stays

Each preserved flower tells a story of time gently paused — a moment of love, care, and artistry captured forever.

At Rêve et Fleur, we continue this tradition, bringing you preserved flowers that blend nature, innovation, and emotion — so beauty can stay with you, season after season.
