2025 was a year of bold creativity in wedding and memorial keepsakes—and at Wild Coast Flower Preservation, we had a front-row seat to what couples, families, and planners really wanted. As we look ahead to 2026, these five trends aren’t just passing fads—they’re the new gold standard for meaningful, functional, and beautiful preservation.
Let’s dive into the top five trends that are here to stay (and why you’ll want them on your radar for the year ahead):
1. Resin Wall Decor: Art That Tells Your Story
Wall decor made with preserved flowers in crystal-clear resin absolutely dominated 2025. Couples are moving away from traditional shadow boxes and opting for statement pieces that transform their bouquet into true wall art. These pieces are lightweight, modern, and designed to fit seamlessly into any home.
Why it’s here to stay:
- Functional art: Not just a keepsake, but a conversation starter
- Customizable sizes, shapes, and color palettes
- Perfect for both weddings and memorials
Pro tip: Our wall decor options now include interchangeable photo frames—so you can update your display with new memories while keeping your original flowers beautifully preserved.
2. Wood & Live Edge: Nature Meets Modern Heirloom
Live edge wood trays and decor pieces were a runaway hit this year. The organic beauty of wood, paired with the vibrant colors of preserved flowers and the durability of resin, creates heirlooms that feel both rustic and refined.
Why it’s here to stay:
- Each piece is one-of-a-kind, highlighting natural wood grain
- Blends seamlessly with farmhouse, boho, and modern décor
- Durable enough for daily use as serving trays, charcuterie boards, or centerpieces
Pro tip: Personalize your live edge piece with engraved names, vows, or a special date for a truly unique touch.
3. Book Trend: For the Sentimental Storyteller
2025 saw a surge in book-inspired keepsakes: think resin bookends filled with wedding petals, custom bookmarks, and our “Love Story” book-shaped bookends. These pieces are perfect for book lovers, sentimental gift-givers, and anyone wanting to display their story in a fresh, functional way.
Why it’s here to stay:
- Practical and beautiful—bookends and bookmarks get daily use
- Book-shaped designs are ideal for anniversaries, memorials, and family gifts
- The “Love Story” bookend can be personalized with names, dates, and special messages
4. Photo Frame with Interchangeable Photo Hole
A trend that’s quickly becoming a staple: resin photo frames with a swappable photo slot. Customers love the flexibility to update their display without losing the preserved flowers that frame their memories. Available in 8x10 size and 16x20.
Why it’s here to stay:
- Lets you refresh your décor for every season or milestone
- Combines preservation with personalization
- Great for families, memorials, and milestone anniversaries
Pro tip: Use your frame for wedding, baby, or memorial photos—then swap them out as your story grows.
5. Resin Cup: The Award-Winning Statement Piece
2025’s breakout star (and Etsy Design Award Top 10 Nominee in Weddings Category): the resin cup. These sculptural, functional cups are made with preserved flowers and food-safe resin, making them as practical as they are stunning.
Why it’s here to stay:
- Acclaimed design recognized for innovation and beauty
- 100% food-safe and durable for daily use
