    My finished flowers and frame from Austin Preservations
    Andrea Z.

    I scrambled a few days after my wedding to find somewhere to preserve flowers. All the places near my house had closed, but I think I really lucked out finding Austin Preservations! It was definitely worth the 100 mile round trip haul to get to Buffalo Grove from Plainfield. I couldn't be more thrilled with the work Karen did, she offered suggestions for the frames and matting when I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. I agree with Valerie that website doesn't do the flowers justice, all of the finished frames in Karen's work space are stunning. Thank you again, Karen!

    From Austin Preservations

    When planning a wedding, you get so many ideas that it's hard to figure out where to start. I happened to look on Pinterest for some wedding ideas, and I came across "flower preservation". There were so many DIY projects that I couldn't help but to also do this. Months went by, the big day comes, you've had the best time of your life and now you realize that it went by too fast and you didn't want any of it to end. Flower preservation is the best way to keep the most memorable day even more memorable. I came across Austin Preservations online and I'm so glad that I did because the day after our wedding, we had went there to get my bouquet preserved. Karen was so kind and so helpful with what we wanted that it was a smooth and simple transaction. As soon as you walk into her house, you see all the beautiful shadow boxes on display. And these are not your typical shadow boxes. These are made from real wood and the quality that she uses is impeccable. I haven't seen anything like it. They all were so beautiful. She offered suggestions for the frames and the matting that she made the whole process very easy. And I agree with Valerie M,. the pictures on her website, does not do it justice. You have to see the work up close because it will literally take your breath away. She did say it would take about 8-12 weeks for the whole process. I couldn't wait any longer, that I actually called her a month before it was suppose to be done just to see if they were done lol You will NOT be disappointed with the finish result. It's so beautiful that no words can describe it. Every time I look at my bouquet, I reminisce the fun and blessed day we had. I'll say it again and I will keep saying it, it's an experience I will never forget. And Austin Preservations just made it more memorable. It will be my forever keepsake. Thanks Karen!

    However - I had to come online and put on 5 stars simply because of my first meeting with Karen.
