Ever seen a flower that lasts forever? Sounds like magic, doesn’t it? But it’s not! It’s the wonder of eternal flowers, also known as preserved flowers. These beautiful blooms are treated with a special process that allows them to stay fresh and vibrant for years without the need for water or sunlight.
But as enchanting as they are, many buyers find themselves with questions when it comes to purchasing or using them. What exactly are eternal flowers? How are they made? How do they differ from fresh or dried flowers? Why are they so expensive? These are some of the many questions I’ve encountered over my 20 years in the flower industry, and I’m here to clear things up.
Eternal flowers, also called preserved flowers, ever-lasting flowers, infinity flowers, forever flowers, are a stunning, long-lasting gift. They undergo a unique preservation process that keeps their natural beauty intact for years.

How Eternal Flowers Are Made
Making eternal flowers isn’t as simple as cutting and drying. It’s a meticulous process that requires precision and care. Here’s a breakdown of how these stunning blooms are created:
Step-by-Step Process:
Select Fresh Flowers:
The process starts with selecting fresh flowers—usually roses, orchids, or lilies, that are handpicked at their peak.
Dehydration and Degreasing:
These flowers are then soaked in 75% medical alcohol to remove moisture and oils. This helps in maintaining the flower's shape and natural oils for future preservation.
Secondary Dehydration:
After the first stage, they go through a 99.99% anhydrous ethanol treatment for secondary dehydration and degreasing, making sure there is absolutely no moisture left.
Setting Shape:
After dehydration, the flowers are soaked in a special medical setting liquid that helps them retain their shape and natural texture.
Coloring:
To maintain their vivid color, the flowers are then colored with pigments in 99.99% absolute ethanol, making them look even more radiant than they did in nature.
Drying:
Once the flowers have been treated and colored, they are dried naturally or in a controlled drying room. The entire process takes 1-2 months, depending on the environment.

- How Long Do Eternal Flowers Last?
Eternal flowers can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on how well they are taken care of. This is significantly longer than cut flowers that only last a few days!
- Do Preserved Flowers Smell?
Eternal flowers generally don’t have any scent, as the preservation process removes the natural fragrance along with moisture. But we can add a rose scent to the flowers to give them back their wonderful smell.
- Do Preserved Flowers Fade?
While they may fade a bit over time, proper care can slow down the process. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from humidity, and they’ll keep their vibrant colors for much longer.
- Are Preserved Roses Real or Fake?
Preserved roses are real roses, treated with a special preservation process that keeps them fresh-looking without needing care.
