Preserving Wedding Flowers Around a Ketubah: A Meaningful Jewish Wedding Heirloom
A Jewish wedding is rich with tradition, symbolism, and intention. Among its most meaningful elements is the Ketubah — a beautifully written marriage contract that represents commitment, partnership, and shared life.
For many couples, the Ketubah becomes one of the most treasured pieces from their wedding day. Pairing it with preserved wedding flowers transforms it into an even more personal heirloom — one that reflects not only the promise made, but the celebration that surrounded it.

What is a Ketubah?
A Ketubah is a Jewish marriage contract, traditionally signed before the ceremony and often displayed prominently at the wedding. Today, many Ketubot are custom-designed works of art, incorporating calligraphy, illustration, and personal touches that reflect the couple’s story.
After the wedding, the Ketubah is commonly framed and hung in the couple’s home — making it a perfect centerpiece for meaningful preservation.
Which flowers can be preserved?
Couples often choose flowers from:
- The bridal bouquet
- Ceremony arrangements
- The Chuppah
- Family-provided florals
- Reception centerpieces
Many also select blooms that were meaningful to loved ones or passed down through generations, making the preserved artwork even more personal.
A thoughtful way to honor the Chuppah
In Jewish weddings, the Chuppah — the ceremonial canopy under which the couple is married — holds profound symbolism. It represents the home the couple will build together and the shelter of their shared life.
Flowers used on or around the chuppah are often just as meaningful as those in the bouquet, yet they are frequently overlooked after the wedding. Preserving chuppah flowers alongside or separately from the Ketubah allows couples to honor:
- The moment they stood beneath the canopy together
- The traditions shared with family and community
- The physical space that sheltered their vows
Chuppah flower preservation offers another beautiful way to extend the life of a meaningful wedding element.
Opening a new store didn't come without a couple of hiccups. The biggest being a car crashing into the front of the store. Sarah took the accident as an opportunity to think about expanding to a bigger space. Luckily, she found a beautiful building in the heart of Orem, Utah. This was Pressed Floral's biggest expansion yet. Renovations began to not only create space for more employees and orders, but to create a beautified place where creativity, empathy, communication, and inspiration could thrive.
