Dual-Sided and Folding Wedding Keepsakes
Why settle for one photo when you can tell the whole story? These folding and dual-sided frames let you pair your wedding memories with your preserved varmala flowers in an interactive piece.
Some memories deserve more than just a photo. This folding frame tells a story, with wedding photos on the outer panels and the preserved varmala, mangalsutra thali, and toe rings in the center.
A closer look at the center panel of the folding frame. I placed the mangalsutra thali in a heart shape and the toe rings in an infinity symbol, turning tiny elements into big emotions.

About this collection
Folding and dual-sided designs are ideal when you have more than one memory to hold. I handle the technical work, ensuring the resin clarity is perfect so your varmala flowers and photos stay bright without yellowing, creating a piece that feels like a complete narrative rather than a static display.
When I started making these frames, I wanted to move beyond the traditional single-block design. A wedding or a reunion isn't a single moment; it is a sequence of events. With these folding designs, you can have your wedding portrait on one side and your varmala flowers on the other, or show the transition from a childhood photo to a present-day shot.
Everything I make uses high-grade teakwood and premium epoxy resin. The process involves multiple pours and specific sanding techniques to get that mirror-gloss finish you see in the photos. If you are worried about your flowers, I treat them carefully to ensure they retain their shape and color before they go into the resin.
I often hear clients say they have too many items—varmala, mangalsutra thali, wedding cards—and want them all together. These folding frames are the perfect solution. You get a functional, tabletop piece that serves as a living memory. Whether it is a gift for a sibling or a way to honor a teacher, I work with you on the layout to make sure every element fits perfectly. It is a bit of extra work, but seeing these stories preserved properly makes it worth every effort.
