As 2024 comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for the opportunity to continue doing what we love—preserving your most cherished memories with the finest flower preservation in the world. This year has been a whirlwind of innovation, milestones, and exciting new launches, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing clients, supporters, and team.
Let’s take a look back at the highlights of this incredible year:
A Year of New Beginnings and Bold Innovations
Reintroducing Floating Frames
We kicked off the year by bringing back one of our beloved offerings—the (Re)imagined Floating Frames! If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you may remember these stunning pieces from 2016. This time, we’ve made them even better, with exclusive frame options available in a variety of sizes and colors, expertly sealed in-house for extended beauty and protection. Our Floating Frames now come with an option to choose from three different glass types for added durability.
The 12” Gem Collection
In February, we launched the 12” Gem, a piece close to our founder Andrea's heart. The multi-faceted, statement-making design was a result of Andrea’s collaboration with the mold maker, and the larger 12” version was specifically requested two years ago. It took over 8 months to perfect, incorporating Andrea’s own wedding flowers, making it a truly personal piece in our latest GEMS collection.
Accessible Preservation for All
In April, we made it easier than ever to preserve your cherished flowers by removing the minimum booking requirement. At dbandrea®, we believe every memory is priceless, no matter the budget. Whether you’re looking for a small keepsake or a complete set, we’re committed to bringing your vision to life with beauty and care.

We also introduced our largest Hex Floral Block to date, designed to accommodate even more of your beautiful blooms.

Celebrating Milestones and Launching New Experiences
Rebranding and Anniversary Celebrations
This summer, we celebrated a huge milestone—our 6th full-time anniversary, marking over 8.5 years in the making. We took this opportunity to rebrand from Designs by Andrea to dbandrea® - Flower Preservation Firm. To commemorate the occasion, we introduced Press-3D™, a revolutionary preservation technique that adds depth and dynamism to traditional shadow box displays, making each flower piece even more captivating.
Exclusive Preservation Bundles
We also made flower preservation even more accessible with our exclusive bundles, designed to simplify your decision-making process while offering exceptional savings of up to $1,205. These thoughtfully crafted bundles offer a variety of preservation sizes and shapes, so you can display your bouquet in a way that’s uniquely yours. The bundles are an easy way to create the perfect set and save money while preserving your most cherished memories. Shop bundles here.
Introducing the Vintage Collection
This year, we added a touch of old-world elegance to our offerings with the Vintage Collection—a line of ornate frames sourced from Italy and finished with precision. These luxurious frames elevate any preservation piece with timeless charm, bringing a unique quality to every keepsake.
Season 3 of Bridal Club™ and Becoming Miss America's Official Partner
Season 3 of Bridal Club™
This year, we hosted Season 3 of Bridal Club™, starting with a special episode featuring Madison Marsh, Miss America 2024. Throughout the season, we welcomed amazing guests, including several wedding industry leaders to share tips and stories about creating lasting wedding memories.
A Historic Partnership with Miss America
One of the highlights of 2024 was becoming the exclusive floral preservation partner of the Miss America Organization. This milestone collaboration was an honor and a reflection of our shared commitment to preserving the timeless elegance and legacy of these extraordinary women. We had the privilege of preserving the bouquet of Madison Marsh, as well as floral arrangements from other state winners, capturing moments of grace, beauty, and triumph.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we reflect on the year, we want to thank each of you who trusted us with preserving your most precious memories. Your support, love, and loyalty have driven us to innovate and raise the bar in the flower preservation industry. We couldn’t have achieved all that we did without you, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
We are excited for what 2025 holds and look forward to serving you with even more unforgettable creations. Here's to another year of preserving your most treasured moments!
Happy New Year!
