Floral Preservation
Transforming your fresh blooms into everlasting floral art
Fresh flowers are such a special part of a wedding day, but they’re also one of the most fleeting. After a few days, they’re gone, and often only live on in photographs.
Over the years, I’ve specialised in creating wedding flowers using dried and preserved blooms ~ flowers designed to be treasured for years to come. Because of that, it felt like a really natural step to offer the same opportunity of having lasting blooms to couples choosing fresh flowers too! I’ve spoken to so many couples who wished they’d had their flowers preserved, or who gave it a go themselves but found it was harder than expected to achieve the results they’d hoped for.
By carefully drying and framing your wedding blooms, I’m able to turn them into something truly beautiful that you can treasure in real life ~ not tucked away in an album! You should get to see and enjoy your blooms every day in your home, as a lasting reminder of one of the most special times in your life.
How Does it Work?
-
The first thing to do is pop an enquiry form my way. If I have availability for your wedding date we’ll get your blooms booked in, how exciting! 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!
