How to Care for Your Flower Preservation Frame
A flower preservation frame is more than décor—it’s a deeply personal keepsake that captures a moment in time. Whether it holds your wedding bouquet, memorial flowers, or a meaningful arrangement, proper care ensures your piece stays beautiful for years to come. Here in Atlanta, where heat, humidity, and sun exposure can be intense, a little extra attention goes a long way.
1. Be Mindful of Heat
Atlanta summers are no joke. High temperatures can affect both the organic materials in your preserved flowers and the integrity of the frame itself.
Avoid placing your frame above fireplaces, radiators, or near heating vents.
Keep it out of areas that experience frequent temperature swings, like sunrooms or enclosed porches.
Ideal placement is in a climate-controlled room where temperatures remain consistent year-round.
2. Protect Against Humidity
Georgia’s humidity is one of the biggest factors to consider when caring for preserved flowers.
Excess moisture in the air can cause flowers to soften, discolor, or even develop mold over time.
Avoid hanging your frame in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens where steam is common.
If your home tends to be humid, consider using a dehumidifier—especially during the peak summer months.
3. Limit UV Exposure
Sunlight is beautiful, but it can be harsh on preserved botanicals.
Direct UV exposure can fade colors and cause delicate petals to become brittle.
Hang your frame on walls that don’t receive direct sunlight, or opt for interior walls away from windows.
If your space gets a lot of natural light, consider UV-filtering window treatments for added protection.
4. Reduce Wear and Tear
While your frame is designed to last, it’s still important to handle it with care.
Avoid frequently moving the frame, as vibrations and handling can loosen delicate elements over time.
When cleaning, gently dust the glass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, and never spray cleaner directly onto the frame.
Make sure the frame is securely mounted, especially in high-traffic areas of your home.
5. Choose the Right Spot in Your Home
In Atlanta homes, a few ideal locations include:
Bedrooms or living rooms with stable temperature control
Hallways that don’t receive direct sunlight
Offices or studies where environmental conditions are consistent
Avoid garages, attics, or basements, kitchens where conditions can fluctuate dramatically throughout the year.
Preserve the Memory for Years to Come
With the right care, your flower preservation frame can remain vibrant and meaningful for decades. Treat it like the heirloom it is, and it will continue to tell your story beautifully.
