Booking Process

Pre/post wedding consultation – This consists of booking your preservation requirements, where we can discuss the collection (a) or drop off your flowers. A deposit of £165.00 is required at this stage, which is non-refundable once the work commences on the preservation of your flowers.

Post wedding drop off at the studio by appointment only, or collection by pre-arrangement (a) – Deposit of £165.00 is required if no pre wedding consultation has taken place.

The studio will contact you when you will be required to make your choice of frame. This will be approximately 8 weeks after the flowers have been received which allows time for the preservation work to be carried out prior to framing your flowers.

At this stage of the process, you can make a choice of whether we continue with the framing of your flowers or change your mind about having your flowers framed and you would be able to take them away with you.

You are required to make a booking with the studio within one month of this notification, and the balance for the work to be paid in full. The framing consultation can take place at the studio, or we can email the information to you.

An appointment to collect your finished flowers from the studio is required within one month of the studio notifying you that the work is complete. Collection in person is preferred, but if you would like the flowers posting then this is at your risk and will incur additional charges.

General Information

We can preserve any special occasion or sentimental flowers for you three-dimensionally so you can enjoy them for years to come. We have been preserving flowers for over 30 years.

To ensure your bouquet reaches us in the best condition, do not throw your bouquet as this bruises the flowers. In the case of a hand-tied bouquet the flowers will need to be put back into water. To do this cut a small piece off each stem and place into water as soon after the wedding ceremony as possible. If your bouquet is wired or in a holder, place in a fridge or a cool place.

Please bring your bouquet to us the next working day after your wedding. Your bouquet will be preserved immediately, each flower will be preserved individually. If you wish to replace any of your flowers, we are more than happy to purchase these on your behalf for, which an additional charge will be added.

We will always do our upmost to preserve your flowers to the highest standard possible. We do not take responsibility for any poor results due to age, condition, variety and colour of your flowers, which you will be able to see once the flowers are preserved. Due to the drying process, it will mean that the colour will change, and the surface become matt.

There will be a degree of artistic interpretation to our work which we reserve the right to make, this may mean that not every flower is included in your display. In certain circumstances and on certain types of flower it may be necessary to artificially enhance the colour of the flower; this decision is at the discretion of our artist unless otherwise instructed by you when you confirm your display requirements with us.

Our wide range of handmade frames have been carefully selected for the display of preserved flowers, and it is not possible for you to provide your own frame. On the rare occasion that your chosen frame moulding becomes discontinued we will discuss this with you before proceeding with an alternative.

The complete process for preserving your flowers should take approximately 16-18 weeks from start to finish depending upon the time of year.

Your preserved flowers will become perishable over time.
