hold on to the beauty of your blooms with custom artwork
Take a moment to think about a flower that reminds you of someone, a flower you can describe the smell of, a flower that comes in blush, coral, and burgundy.
Think about the first time you received flowers and the ones you hope to walk down the aisle to. Take that beautifully crafted bouquet and have it preserved into custom artwork to admire every day.
At Golden Preserved, I take care of your special blooms and transform them into handcrafted floating shadow boxes and resin home decor.
You can spend more time with your flowers and save the bouquet.
behind the preserved flowers
Hi! I’m Tia Lorraine and I preserve flowers in Asheville, North Carolina!
In my 20s, I dropped off wedding cakes, set out the arrangements, served hors d'oeuvres, cleaned up glasses to Whitney Houston, and trashed all the leftovers. I admired the forgotten flowers for years and always ended my shift with a few stems in hand.
When I turned 30, I transitioned out of the wedding industry into teaching. It broke me and the dried flowers I had collected over the years were the only thing that kept me sane. I rearranged them, creating art with frames and wreaths, and thought about what my life would be like if I could save a few stems for other people.
I completely immersed myself in flower preservation and decided to take a risk. In June of 2022, I left teaching and all the seeds I had planted sprouted into Golden Preserved. This business has saved me just as many times as I have saved flowers. It continues to blossom as I grow my skills, style, and Golden Preserved.
