LOVE BLOOMS: PRESERVED ROSES NOW IN

- CHELZEE G. SALERA / Writer

The wedding month has finally arrived and June brides are ready to say yes to forever. But before hopping on a journey to living happily ever after, preparatio­ns are in order. For the preparatio­n, the old saying suggests that the bride must include something new in her wedding for good luck, and for that we might just have something for Cebu.

Preserved roses are the newest trend when it comes to flowers and the good news is that the trend has arrived in Cebu. Preserved roses are roses that are especially processed to last five years to a lifetime which is definitely longer than the usual bouquet. One of the many shops that offer a selection of preserved roses in Cebu is an online shop called LoveBlooms Flower Shop.

LoveBlooms is an online flower shop that was founded by twin sisters Jennifer Sarmiento and Jasmin Sarmiento-Juan with their respective partners in life: Kirby Yu Bun-an and Ralph Juan. The couples are best known online as Chinks and The Twins.

In an online interview, it was said that the flower shop was born because Kirby and Jen were inspired by the beauty of the gardens in Australia. Having realized how floral arrangemen­ts can create an “experience of love by their subtle beauty,” the couple then shared this concept with Jen’s brother-in-law Ralph Juan, who had been personally making bouquets for his wife Jasmin. From then Love Blooms flower shop was created.

Preserved roses are among their prettiest flowers and they come in different shapes, sizes and colors. “Preserved roses can last five years to a lifetime depending on how you take care of them. You have to avoid direct sunlight, water and dust. That’s why it’s much better to enclose them. These roses suit many occasions or sometimes, it doesn’t need an occasion. Sometimes, all you need is the thought of giving,” said Jennifer in an online interview.

Their preserved roses are imported as these are produced by the shop’s specialize­d team based abroad.

These preserved roses come in different containers like glass encasement specially molded to suit one’s taste. Love Blooms also offers a variety of fresh floral arrangemen­ts, which includes Ecuadorian flowers freshly picked with a wide selection of colors such as lilac or even a rainbow.
