Are Preserved Flowers Worth the Cost?

The short answer: yes, preserved flowers are worth the cost. 

If you’re new to the concept of preserved flowers, welcome. At Eos Blooms, we have Forever Flowers and Forever Roses—special flowers that require no maintenance, water, trimming, or sunlight. 

This magic preservation is possible with a plant-based solution, making these flowers last about 1-3 years. Since they have a longer lifespan than fresh flowers, they have a higher upfront cost. 

We think the cost is worth it, but it definitely depends on your unique needs and budget. 

Cost of Preserved Flowers vs Fresh Flowers 

Preserved flowers end up being 7-10x more affordable than fresh flowers over time, without the upkeep or wilting.

A premium Forever Flower bouquet such as The Glimmer is valued at $429. It’s a gorgeous arrangement of pink peonies, orange marigolds, and coral and butter yellow roses. These flowers were harvested at peak beauty. And the best part: they’ll last at least a year, usually up to three. 

A similar sized bouquet of fresh flowers would cost around $60. These blooms would require daily maintenance and last up to one week. If you were to replace them weekly, this would end up costing $3,120 for an entire year. 

Since Forever Flowers last at least a year, it would cost $429 a year vs $3,120 to continue replacing fresh flowers.
