Wedding bouquet preservation
Having your wedding bouquet pressed is a beautiful way to preserve it for a lifetime of enjoyment. I can preserve your wedding bouquet, both flowers and foliage, using the traditional method of flower pressing and/or by drying them, and present it in one of a wide variety of arrangements.
The gallery below, along with images on my Instagram page, is a good way to get an idea of the work I do, and whether it suits you.
You will see examples of simple circles representing everlasting love, abstract mosaic style arrangements, meadow tryptychs, and shadow frames displaying pressed flowers, as well as box frames which combine pressed and dried flowers for larger scale 3D pieces.
There are some FAQs below, but you may well have other questions before you are ready to book, so please be in touch via the link below and I will send you my bouquet preservation info pack, as well as answer any other queries you may have.
The whole process is a conversation, to make sure that the finished piece is something you can enjoy for a lifetime.
If you would like to have a fixed cost option, I have two different packages available, this is ideal if you would like to give the gift of bouquet preservation to a couple as a wedding present - if you're interested you can get more information on this, again just contact me via the link below.

Whilst there are a few flowers that cannot be preserved successfully e.g. calla lillies, there are options for most - some flowers are better suited to one method of preservation over another - and this, along with all your ideas and preferences, I am more than happy to take the time to discuss with you on enquiry, and through the preservation and arrangement process.

Framing choices for fully pressed pieces are limitless, I use a beauitful natural oak frame as standard, but I can source any number of finishes for you.

Flowers can be delivered in person or by post, ideally the day after your big day - the fresher the flowers, the better results you can expect - to me at my home studio in Cheshire. If you are posting them, I recommend your florist handles this, or there are some guidelines I can send you to follow to ensure they don't suffer on the journey.
