On the big day of human life, wedding bouquets are always something associated with the moment of getting married.
Currently, instead of wedding bouquets being only kept in wedding photos, many young couples choose to leave souvenirs through night lights and decorative paintings that are extremely unique and beautiful.
Instead of letting natural dried flowers get worse over time, many couples choose to preserve flowers by professionally pressing and drying them and then designing them on a light frame or wall painting.
As a result, the works both retain the original beauty of the flowers and have long-term use value, making them popular with many people.
Many flower shops choose to make this model to create souvenirs over time for many couples about to get married.
Preserving and "reviving" wedding flowers into sleeping lanterns or paintings is a way to mark memories and preserve beautiful emotions over time.
Ms. Pham Thi Nhu Quynh - the owner of a flower shop in Quang Ninh - said that this job brought many emotions, both the pressure of having to handle the bride's only wedding bouquet, but also brought great joy when receiving positive feedback from customers.
"I have been making this model for 2 years, and because of the opportunity that customers came to me to bring wedding flowers to make them into sleeping lanterns, I decided to make this model for a long time," said Ms. Nhu Quynh.
According to Ms. Quynh, it usually takes a few weeks to complete a product because there are many stages such as: arranging flowers, drying flowers with sand, hitting wedding lights, pouring glue to store, etc.
On average, flowers pressed into sleeping lights and decorative paintings cost from 600,000 VND to several million VND. Depending on the size of the product as well as the complexity and specific requirements of each couple.
Dang Thi Hong Nhu - a member of Ms. Quynh's epong flower team - shared that the most difficult step is to handle the flowers initially, because some bunches will become dry, difficult to handle, or need to arrange to please the bride and groom.
However, the whole team and I still try our best to complete it because this is a souvenir to go with couples for a long time, Hong Nhu said.
The trend of turning wedding flowers into night lanterns or decorative paintings is not only a "fashion of the times" but also a symbol of affection and creativity in married life.
With profound spiritual values, artistic value and high practical application, this trend promises to continue to develop, becoming an indispensable part of modern weddings.
