When A Lasting Memory was initially created, 98% of our business was concentrated in bridal keepsakes, with the other 2% taken up by memorial keepsakes.

     We are now celebrating our 7th year in business, and what we do has broadened unexpectedly from our origins. Although bridal activity still accounts for the majority of our business, fully one order in 5 is now for occasions other than bridal. So important have these other keepsakes become to our clients that we felt it helpful to our clientele to create a separate page on our Website for non-bridal keepsakes.

     So Welcome to the Beyond Bridal page. Please browse through the pictures below for any ideas. Click on any picture to see a larger version of it. And call us or e-mail us for a consultation if you want to know more about any custom keepsake you might be considering.
