Bay Area Flower Preservation

Sampaguita Press is a floral preservation studio based in the East Bay (Antioch, CA), and one of the few true Bay Area–local preservation artists serving the region. Easy local drop-off for nearby clients is available, along with secure shipping options for clients nationwide.

From wedding bouquets and memorial arrangements to baby shower blooms and custom floral artwork, Sampaguita Press transforms meaningful flowers into keepsakes that feel fresh, modern, and timeless. It is known for soft, airy, and whimsical designs that stand out from more traditional preservation styles.

The studio is owned by Phoebe, who carefully handcrafts each piece with the intention of preserving the colors, curves, and natural beauty of every bouquet. As an independent, artist-led studio, each arrangement is personally handled from start to finish, ensuring a high level of care, consistency, and attention to detail that’s often lost in larger production-style studios.

The art of slowing down.

Flowers are not meant to last. That is precisely what makes them beautiful. They remind us to stay present and celebrate fleeting moments. At Sampaguita Press, floral preservation is not about resisting nature or freezing flowers at their peak. It is about the art of slowing down and savoring beauty as it ages. As colors soften over the years, what remains is the delicate silhouette distilled to its most timeless form. Like our memories, details fade over time, but the love and joy we experience lingers with us for a lifetime.
