Starr Collective Floral Preservation in
New York (NY)

7/40 wedding bouquet flowers preserved for $700 and it took 1 year. What i received was beautiful, and i do not like to leave negative reviews, but for the price and how long it took, i expected a little more flowers to be preserved. Additionally, I sent an email & no response 🤷🏽‍♀️

I cannot speak highly enough about Starr Collective! Annie and her mom were so welcoming, accommodating and helpful with walking me through the preservation process and making sure my requests were met. The care they displayed for me and my order is something I’ll never forget and cannot thank them enough for! One of my grandmothers passions was her garden, after she passed, the thought of her garden disappearing with her seemed like an added heartbreak. But after a quick search of how to preserve flowers I stumbled upon the cutest little shop that could keep her flowers vibrant forever. I will forever appreciate the passion Annie has for her craft and the artwork she created with my finished product; a beautiful display of my grandmother’s garden now on my bookshelf to remind me of her and the stunning work Starr Collective creates!

I stumbled upon this store accidentally, trying to escape the rain one day and I'm so glad I did! Annie and her mom have a beautiful boutique filled with vibrant and stunning pieces. I knew right away I would be sending them my wedding bouquet to be preserved in bookends. Annie is so sweet, she walked me through the process step by step and was always responsive to my emails. At pick up both her and her mom, who is the artist behind all these beautiful pieces, came out to wish me well. You can feel how much time and love go into every piece she makes, which made it that much more special. Thank you for such a meaningful and gorgeous keepsake!

Starr Collective was the best thing I did to preserve my wedding bouquet! Annie and Jeannie took my vision and made it a reality. Annie helped me throughout the process. While it does take a while to receive - IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! If you are on the fence about moving forward, I highly recommended it. Could not be happier with my decision and something I will keep forever.

What an adorable shop! We were in town from Chicago in the dead of winter and wanted to check out the flower market. I wanted to buy everything but it made no sense to have a plant or flower for 2 days in my hotel room then figure out how to take anything home on a plane. But this shop gives you the best option to take fresh, pressed flowers home! I got a gorgeous plant stand/side table and they packed disassembled and packed the pieces beautifully and had no problem getting through TSA and on the plane and home without a scratch. I also got some cute earrings that look like a flower through a window and get complimented on them all the time.

I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Annie and Jeannine, the amazing mother-daughter duo behind Starr Collective, are brilliant artists. It took me some time to figure out what I wanted to have made, as I was planning to gift a few items to my family, and they were supportive and flexible as I changed my mind…and then again. They made the entire process so enjoyable and personal. Lovely to work with from start to finish. A couple of pieces are pictured here, including my bringing the flowers and the final, preserved product. P.S: Everyone loved their gifts!

Obsessed is an understatement! I had a tray and ornament made from my wedding bouquet, and Starr Collective exceeded my expectations. Would 100% recommend for any brides or other celebrations!

I am so happy I found the family owned Starr Collective to preserve my bouquet. Annie shared her knowledge about how the different flowers in my bouquet would look when dried and helped me choose a piece that fit my budget. 8 months later, I have picked up my bouquet and I am IN LOVE!

I absolutely LOVED my experience with Starr Collective. Right off the bat, Annie was amazing to work with and is a real gem! She informed me of everything I needed to prepare the day after my wedding. I brought in so many flowers from my wedding and ordered several different pieces. Jeannine did such an amazing job preserving my florals and the memories of my wedding. All the hard work I put into wedding planning is now beautifully preserved! Everything was beautiful. Not only was I pleased with my orders, but I also really enjoy wandering around their cute store and looking through all of the amazing pieces that are created by Jeannine and her family. I'll be sure to be a regular customer and stop by whenever I can!

After my grandpas wake I scrambled to find a company that could preserve his funeral flowers. Starr Collective got back to my request immediately and could not have been any more accommodating. The pieces they put together are jaw droppingly beautiful, and their store is magnificent! I 10/10 recommend them, thank you so much 🙏🏼

My experience with Starr Collective was amazing! I reached out a few days before my wedding to ask about preserving my wedding bouquet, and Annie told me exactly how to keep my flowers after my wedding to bring them in. Once I brought my flowers to the store, she helped me choose exactly what items I wanted my flowers to be preserved in and gave me a timeline of when to expect the items to be done by. From the get go, I felt like I was in good hands with my special wedding memories. I just picked my items up this week, and WOW. Starr Collective had put them on a special shelf and displayed them just for me, so I was able to see them right when I walked into the store! I’m completely blown away by their artistry and thoughtfulness—Jeannine explained to me how they made every piece, and even told me that she restored some of my flowers to their original color because she didn’t want me to lose their beauty. I was so touched that Jeannine went out of her way to explain her process and show me how she made each of my pieces, and they are so beautiful that I can’t wait to display them in my home forever. Working with Annie and Jeannine was such a fun and thoughtful experience, and one I’d recommend to anyone. They made preserving my wedding flowers such a wonderful experience, and gave me a little bit of wedding glow even 8 months after my wedding!

Annie and Sam are incredible! I ordered a Shabbat candle tray set from them and Annie worked with me to design each piece. They were able to accomplish exactly what I was looking for and I could not be happier! 100/10 recommend working with them and I will definitely be back in the future. (Name blocked out for privacy)

I had my bridal bouquet preserved here into a hexagon resin block and a set of coasters, they are absolutely the most stunning thing I have ever seen. My flowers look as gorgeous as they did on my wedding day and I'm so thrilled to have these for a lifetime. Brides, if you are looking to preserve your flowers, this is your place-- and there is no doubt that it is worth the cost to have these in your home forever. Oh and the store is also just heaven-- for anyone that loves flower paintings or dried florals... I wanted to buy everything as gifts and for my wall. I'll be back! Thank you Starr collective, I'm so grateful!

I ordered a custom makeup table with fall flowers, it was delievered exactly how I requested. It was great quality and the team was so helpful. I couldnt be happier

This is the place to go for floral preservation! We got our wedding flowers done and we couldn’t be happier!! We are SO glad we did this! Annie is amazing to work with and we will for sure recommend and hopefully work with again in the future.

Absolutely beautiful work and amazing customer service. Floral preservation after my wedding was a really big priority for me so I took a lot of time researching and looking at different options before coming across Starr Collective. I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. They are incredibly accommodating and help you customize your pieces to be exactly what you are looking for, while providing expert suggestions. Annie is awesome and would definitely recommend this family business to anyone.

By far my favorite part of the wedding planning process was coming across J. Starr Collective! I loved my wedding flowers, and was so happy to find a localish and talented place to preserve them for me. Annie and Jeannine were amazing with everything, and I'm so grateful for their incredible artistic eye and expertise. I overnighted my flowers to them the day after our wedding, and they took it from there, keeping me updated on the preservation process. Could not be more grateful to have these flowers forever!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found this lovely family. I'm so lucky to have had my Bouquet turned to stunning art for my family and I to enjoy for many years. Every one in the shop is compassionate and kind. Thank you for everything and I pray you receive all the blessings.

Can't even contain all the great things I have to say about this team of artists. I wanted to get my gorgeous bouquet from my wedding preserved and a quick google search led me to Start Collective. I am own away by the quality of the pieces they made for me. They treated me like an old friend, taking care to keep me updated through the process and even holding on to my items for a bit longer while I was out of town. You won't regret purchasing their stunning work! Do yourself a favor and get a few things.

I worked with Annie the weeks leading up to my wedding and she was great. Her communication was quick, concise and follow through was perfect. I had my flowers delivered the morning after my wedding, and from there on they handled all the details. They do such a wonderful job with keeping their items unique and beautiful. Annie was great with suggestions on what would work best for my flowers. Would definitely recommend them for any event where you want to have a forever keepsake. Thank you so much!

5 stars is not enough! I found Starr Collective on instagram about a week before my wedding and it was by far the find of a lifetime. My bouquet was the focal of every photo and now I have it for a lifetime. I can’t say enough wonderful things. I received my order today and it brought tears to my eyes. From the fast response times via email to the beautiful wrapping. Working with Annie and Jeannine was an absolute pleasure. I am eternally grateful for their talent. 💜

We had the absolute best experience working with Annie and the team to preserve our wedding flowers. Couldn’t recommend the team more - they take such care and attention to details.

LOVE my new table that was made out of my bouquet and some memorabilia from our special day! Thank you Sam and Jeannine for a timeless piece we will cherish forever ❤️ Also made some coasters as well for family members and a special one with my Love’s boutonnière 😀

So so happy with my pieces from Starr Collective. This mother daughter duo are the absolute best. A complete pleasure to work with. Brought my flowers here a few days after my wedding, and you can see for yourself the results. I did not book in advance, but I’m sure they would appreciate that if you could. they graciously accommodated me coming in, and we spoke about the style and design of what appealed most to me and the outcomes were absolutely perfect! I actually ended up ordering an additional ring holder, after picking up my first few pieces, because I was so happy. Thank you both!!

Thank you to Annie and her family for beautifully preserving my bridal bouquet! I’m so excited to display this and to have such a wonderful piece to remember my special day. Annie is so sweet and provided me with clear communication throughout the process. Thank you again!

I love my bridal bouquet preservation! Starr Collective is amazing and they were so easy to work with. I am so happy I will have my wedding flowers forever.

I cannot say enough about the Starr Collective & J.Starr NYC!!! By far my favorite vendor of the entire wedding planning process. Jeannine and her team were so thorough and such an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Jeannine made sure she knew exactly what my vision was for my bouquet preservation, and then she went completely above and beyond all expectation. The final products were a gorgeous square resin block with my bouquet, a beautiful tray with brass handles featuring some of my bouquet's greenery, and so many stunning accessories for me & my family to treasure for the rest of time. She is truly the most gifted artist, so creative, and so skilled at what she does. The Starr Collective is run by Jeannine & her family and is a chic destination for your floral preservation & other creative needs. Do yourself a favor and use J.Starr NYC to preserve your flowers, and visit the Starr Collective. You will be blown away by the entire experience!
