Wedding Heirlooms

Joanna Hiu is a wedding bouquet preservation artist based in Perth, Western Australia.

With a deep love for storytelling through nature, Joanna transforms fresh blooms into timeless keepsakes—capturing not just the flowers, but the emotions, meaning, and memories behind them.

Every bouquet holds a love story, and with care and intention, Joanna preserves yours as a lasting piece of art—one that brings joy, nostalgia, and beauty into your everyday.

Each heirloom is created with the belief that preserving flowers is more than just craft—it's preserving a moment in time, a promise, and a feeling that lives on.

Love notes from our brides

  • Hi Jo, Where do I even begin!! It was SO exciting opening my wedding heirloom and to say I'm blown away by the level of detail is an understatement (although I shouldn't have been surprised!) From the hand written notes on the design, to writing our names on the ribbon used to wrap my heirloom, to the drawing of my beautiful bouquet on my card, I'm so touched that you treated a memento from my wedding with such love and care!

    Brooke ~ Grand Wedding Heirloom

  • Hi Joanna, just opened up the bouquet and beautiful gift, my husband and I are in awe . Thank you so much for beautifully creating this masterpiece! And for the gorgeous earrings as well. My engagement ring is actually in a pear shape, so the earrings are a perfect match! Your work is so beautiful! Thank you once again

    Sandra ~ Grand Wedding Heirloom

  • Joanna created such a beautiful keepsake which perfectly captured memories of my sister's special day. The preservation and pressing of my bridesmaid bouquet flowers into such a sophisticated arrangement has resulted in a stunning heirloom that I will treasure forever. Joanna delivers a truly personalised service - she kept me informed at every step of the process, and offered the opportunity to suggest adjustments to the design concepts prior to the layout being finalised. It was such a pleasure working with Joanna, and I cannot recommend The Gallery J highly enough for all your flower preservation needs." It's been wonderful working with you! Thank you for everything.

  • Joanna… I am truly struggling to find the words to express my gratitude for what you’ve done for me, AND my awe at the absolute perfection and beauty of the pieces you’ve so lovingly created. But I’ll try to verbalise just how grateful I am, and how much what you have done means to me. Firstly, thank you. Thank you thank you. I don’t have enough thank yous to give you! The original pair of earrings you’ve created with the rose petals completely surpassed any and all expectations I had. From the gold leaf in the resin, to the huggie design with the beautiful stones, they are beyond anything I could have asked for and suit my taste in jewellery 1000%. I literally could not have asked for a more perfect piece. Not only is your art flawless, but it’s so clear how much love and care you put into each piece.
