Floral Preservation
Transforming your flowers into a piece of everlasting art
Hi there, I’m Abbie, the woman behind the blooms! Creating pieces of framed floral art from your wedding flowers is such a joy, because I believe you should get to see your blooms every day, not just when you get the photo album out! Having your blooms preserved means you get to treasure your wedding flowers for years to come, rather than just a few days, what’s not to love! I work from my floral studio based in Norwich, where my lovely couples can drop off their flowers or post them straight to my doorstep, ready for me to transform them with care into beautiful everlasting keepsakes.
How Does it Work?
-
The first thing to do is pop an enquiry form my way. If I have availability for your wedding date I’ll send you a link to the floral preservation shop, where you can choose/book your perfect frame/s!
A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking & the remainder is due when your frame/s have been created and are ready to come home to you.
-
The quicker you post or drop off your blooms the better! This needs to be within 1-3 days of your wedding, so that I can preserve your blooms in tip top condition! After booking you’ll be sent my guide full of useful details about how to safely drop off or package & post your flowers to me.
-
Once I have your blooms in the studio, the really fun part starts! Each of your individual flowers will be preserved with lots of love and care, until they are perfectly dried and ready to be designed into your piece/s of floral art in your chosen design! It’s really important that each bloom is entirely dry before being taken out of preservation, which can take weeks or months depending on each flower variety.
-
Depending on your flowers and the time of year, the floral preservation process from start to finish can take around 3~6 months, but my goodness it is worth the wait! After I have created your floral art design, it is then framed up in a beautiful deep box frame in the colour of your choice. I’ll then carefully package up your finished piece/s and send them back to you, ready for you to treasure for years to come!
Designs & Framing
A really exciting part of the process is getting to choose your floral design ~ below are some examples of different design options (if I’m available for your date there are other beautiful designs available to choose from when you book) or ask me to surprise you with a completely bespoke design! You will also be able to choose between three gorgey frame colour options to make sure your floral art will look just right at home on your wall!
