FAQ

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes! I recommend booking your bouquet preservation as soon as you've confirmed your wedding date. I accept bookings up to a year (or more) in advance and availability is limited to ensure every bouquet receives the care and attention it deserves.

What happens after I enquire?

If your wedding date is available, I'll send you a Bridal Reservation Form and booking information. Once your completed form and booking fee have been received, your booking is officially secured.

How soon do you need my flowers?

For the best results, I recommend receiving your bouquet within 1–3 days after your wedding.

Keep your bouquet in clean water, away from direct sunlight and heat, until it can be delivered or couriered.

What if my bouquet isn't fresh anymore?

Flowers naturally begin to change after your wedding day. While fresher flowers always produce the best results, please don't worry if your bouquet isn't perfect.

I'll always do my very best to preserve your flowers beautifully and create a meaningful keepsake. The final artwork will always depend on the condition of the flowers when they arrive, but every bouquet receives the same level of care and attention.

How do I send my bouquet?

You can either hand-deliver your bouquet by appointment or send it via a reliable overnight courier service.

Once your booking has been confirmed, I'll provide detailed packaging instructions to help your flowers travel safely.

How long does the process take?

The complete preservation process usually takes 4–6 months.

Flowers need time to press and dry naturally before they can be arranged and framed. This careful process ensures the best possible result and cannot be rushed.

Can I choose the design?

Yes. Every artwork is custom designed to suit your bouquet and chosen frame.

Once your flowers have been preserved, I'll send you a design proof for approval before your artwork is permanently assembled.

Do you only preserve wedding bouquets?

Not at all. I also preserve flowers from engagements, anniversaries, memorials, birthdays, baby showers, graduations, and many other meaningful occasions.

Can every flower be preserved?

Most flowers preserve beautifully, although some varieties naturally press better than others.

Because flowers are a natural product, the final result will depend on their condition when they arrive. Some blooms may not be suitable for inclusion if they have deteriorated significantly.

Will my flowers change colour?

Yes. Colour changes are a natural part of flower preservation.

Some flowers remain vibrant, while others soften or deepen in colour. White flowers often become cream or ivory, reds may deepen to burgundy, and foliage usually becomes more muted.

These beautiful changes are part of preserving real flowers.

Will my flowers fade over time?

Over time, all natural flowers will gradually fade.

To help slow this process, I offer UV-protective framing glass. I also recommend displaying your artwork away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.

Do you offer anything else?

Yes! Alongside bespoke pressed flower artwork, I also create handcrafted resin earrings using real pressed flowers. Every bridal bouquet preservation includes a complimentary pair of resin earrings made from your own bouquet.

I also design and sell beautifully handcrafted wooden flower presses for flower lovers, artists, and anyone who enjoys preserving flowers at home.

I still have a question.
