3D Flower Preservation Shadowboxes
Your Flowers, Displayed in Three Dimensions
A 3D flower preservation shadowbox is one of the most striking ways to honor your blooms. Rather than pressing flowers flat or encasing them in resin, a shadowbox displays your flowers in their natural, dimensional form — suspended behind glass in a deep-set frame that gives them presence, depth, and a sense of life.
Fossil Flowers handcrafts every shadowbox in our Omaha, Nebraska studio. Each one is designed specifically for your flowers, your colors, and your space.
What Is a 3D Flower Preservation Shadowbox?
A shadowbox is a deep-set framed display that holds your preserved flowers in three dimensions. Unlike a flat pressed frame, a shadowbox gives your blooms room to retain their natural shape and volume. The result is a piece that looks almost as if your flowers were just arranged — but will stay that way permanently.
It is an ideal choice for brides who want to showcase the full beauty of their bouquet, and for families who want a memorial display that feels warm, natural, and alive.
How the Process Works
- Drop off or ship your flowers. Omaha-area clients can drop off locally. If you are outside Omaha, we provide shipping guidance to get your flowers to us safely.
- We dry and prepare your blooms. Each flower is carefully dried using methods that preserve shape, color, and texture as faithfully as possible.
- You choose your shadowbox style. Select your frame size, finish, and layout preference. We will design the arrangement to complement your flowers and your home.
- We handcraft your piece. Every shadowbox is assembled by hand in our Omaha studio.
- Your keepsake is delivered. Finished pieces are carefully packaged and shipped, or available for local pickup.
Timing: Fresh flowers yield the most vivid results. We recommend dropping off or shipping within 3 days of your event.
