Resin or Shadow Box? How to Choose the Right Floral Keepsake

Resin or Shadow Box? How to Choose the Right Floral Keepsake

Preserving Flowers, Preserving Meaning
Your flowers tell a story—of love, loss, joy, or new beginnings. Whether you're preserving a wedding bouquet, a memorial arrangement, or a sentimental gift, choosing between a resin piece and a shadow box is the first step in creating a keepsake that feels just right.

At Endless Florals, we specialize in both styles. Here’s how to decide which one suits your story best.

Resin Flower Preservation: A Modern Take on Timeless Memories
Resin keepsakes are made by embedding your real flowers in clear, glass-like resin. The result is a clean, modern piece that lasts a lifetime.

🌟 Best For:
Preserving full, 3D blooms

Minimalist or contemporary home decor

Gifting functional items (trays, coasters, ring holders)

✅ Highlights:
360° view of your flowers in vivid detail

UV protection to keep colors vibrant

Sealed, durable, and waterproof

Available in shapes like hearts, cubes, or hexagons

“I am absolutely speechless with how incredible my flowers turned out! Nikki is so talented and extremely helpful. I cannot rave more about how in love I am with my display!”
— Hannah S.

Shadow Box Keepsakes: A Classic, Framed Tribute
A shadow box displays your flowers in a deep, glass-covered frame. This traditional format adds warmth and charm to any space.

🕊️ Best For:
Combining flowers with personal mementos (photos, vows, fabrics)

Creating a framed story or tribute

Hanging keepsakes on walls

✅ Highlights:
Pressed or lightly 3D flower options

Custom backgrounds and layouts

Ideal for memorial displays or wedding collages

More space for meaningful extras

What to Consider When Choosing:
Your Personal Style – Is your home more modern or classic?

The Flowers You’re Preserving – Are they thick, large blooms or delicate petals?

Where It Will Live – Will it sit on a desk or hang on a wall?

What Else You Want to Include – Photos? Ribbons? Notes?

The Purpose – Memorial? Wedding? Gift?

Need help deciding? We’re here to guide you.

Final Thoughts: A Keepsake That Speaks from the Heart
Both resin and shadow boxes preserve flowers beautifully. The best one for you comes down to the feeling you want the piece to evoke.
