Preserved flowers: natural beauty that lasts

A bouquet that lasts through the seasons, a floral arrangement that never wilts… Preserved flowers are true wonders of botanical decoration. Made from natural flowers preserved at their peak, they retain their flexibility, brilliance and shape without any maintenance. No water, no light – just the poetry of a plant frozen in time.

Perfect for interior decoration, events such as weddings or lasting gifts, they offer an elegant, eco-friendly and long-lasting alternative to cut flowers. Let yourself be inspired by our collection of preserved flowers… and imagine your next creations.

Preserved flowers: the perfect blend of nature and longevity

A preserved flower is a 100% natural flower whose sap has been replaced by a solution based on vegetable glycerine. This eco-friendly preservation process fixes the plant in its fresh state without losing its texture or colours.

Unlike fresh flowers that wilt quickly or dried flowers that are often fragile and dull, preserved flowers remain supple, colourful and flawless for years. No watering, with easy care, they strike the balance between aesthetics, practicality and durability. They're also known as eternal flowers: botanical poetry… untouched by time.

Why choose preserved flowers?

In a home, a preserved flower becomes more than just a decorative item: it represents an aesthetic, eco-conscious and practical choice. For individuals, it brings a touch of nature without constraints, whether as a romantic gift, floral accent or design element. For professionals – hotels, offices, event spaces – it guarantees refined, long-lasting, maintenance-free decoration.

No water, no direct sunlight, no specific treatment: this durable flower fits into any setting. A committed choice, aligned with an eco-friendly decoration and contemporary floral art approach.
