Complete Wedding Keepsakes & Memory Frames
Your wedding day goes by in a flash, but the details don't have to fade away. I turn your chooda, kaleera, wedding cards, and varmala into cohesive art pieces that stay with you forever.
This is what a complete wedding preservation frame looks like. It includes the couple's photos, varmala, chooda, kaleera, and other jewelry, all meticulously arranged and sealed in resin forever.

About Beyond Garlands: Preserving Your Complete Story
Unlike standard framing, these complete wedding story pieces require heavy-duty shadow box engineering. Because items like kaleera, bangles, or sehra have significant weight and dimension, I use a multi-layer resin pour technique to ensure they stay perfectly suspended where we place them. This keeps the items from shifting or settling, ensuring your frame looks just as balanced on your wall five years from now as it does the day you receive it.
When I say I preserve your complete story, I really mean it. While the varmala is beautiful, it is just one part of your wedding day. My clients often come to me with a mix of items—the chooda that marked their new beginning, the kaleera that tinkled as they danced, or the invitation card that started it all.
Why Combine Your Memories?
Combining these items into a single, comprehensive frame does more than save space; it creates a timeline. I carefully arrange the groom's sehra threads alongside the bride's jewelry and petals from the wedding flowers to create a narrative that captures the 'feel' of the ceremony.
The Craft Behind the Frame
From my studio in Janakpuri, I personally oversee every stage.
- Material Selection: I use premium teak or walnut-finished wood for these large 18x24 inch installations because they need to hold the weight of 3kg+ of jewelry securely.
- Preservation: Flower petals are dried by hand to retain their original color—no shortcuts here.
- Personalization: We can add your wedding date, hashtags, or even custom LED backlighting to make the piece glow in your living room.
Whether you are looking to display your wedding accessories or want a gift that feels deeply personal, I am here to help. If you have a specific idea or a collection of items you are not sure how to combine, send me a message. We can discuss how to make your memories bloom.
