Flower Preservation · Guernsey
Preserve the flowers from your wedding day as a piece of artwork to keep and cherish for years to come.
Enquire about preserving your bouquet →Your wedding flowers
Your wedding bouquet is part of a moment you'll want to remember. Rather than letting the flowers fade away, I carefully press and preserve them, transforming them into a piece of artwork that can become part of your home.
Each piece is made around your flowers, preserving their natural shapes, colours and character while creating something personal and lasting.
The process
Every bouquet is carefully handled and pressed before I begin creating the final piece. The process takes time, but that is part of preserving your flowers properly.
Tell me about your wedding, your bouquet and what you'd like to preserve. We can discuss your flowers, artwork and framing options before i collect your bouquet or it is dropped off.
Your flowers are carefully prepared and pressed by hand. This takes several weeks, allowing the flowers to dry and preserve properly while retaining as much of their natural character as possible.
Once your flowers are ready, I arrange them into your finished composition. Each piece is created individually around the flowers from your bouquet.
Your finished artwork is ready to be framed and enjoyed for years to come, a lasting reminder of your wedding day.

Your flowers
Most wedding bouquets contain a beautiful mix of flowers, foliage and small details, and each one responds differently to pressing. I'll talk you through what is possible when we discuss your bouquet.
Roses, daisies, delphiniums, cosmos and many other flowers can be pressed and incorporated into your artwork. The final result will reflect the natural character of each flower.
Leaves, grasses and other greenery can add shape, texture and movement to a composition, helping to tell the story of your original bouquet.
Where possible, small botanical details or flowers with particular sentimental meaning can be incorporated into the final artwork.
Flowers don't always press exactly as expected. I'll work with the natural changes that happen during preservation to create something beautiful from the flowers you have.
Frequently asked questions
Ideally, get in touch before your wedding or as soon as possible afterwards. Fresh flowers are best prepared for pressing while they are still in good condition, so I'll talk you through what to do with your bouquet after the wedding.
Pressing and drying the flowers takes several weeks before I can begin creating the artwork. The overall timeframe depends on the flowers in your bouquet and the artwork you're commissioning.
Not necessarily. The amount of your bouquet used in the final artwork can be discussed when we plan your piece. Some flowers may be selected for the composition while others may not be suitable for pressing.
