Your flowers.
Happily ever after.

Your most cherished flowers deserve to become a piece of art that will last a lifetime (and more).

With flower preservation, the possibilities are endless.

  • • Framed art

    • Wooden and marble charcuteries boards

    • Fine jewelry

    • Vintage home decor

    • Resin trays and coasters

    Please note that at the moment, I accept only Chicagoland commissions.

  • Before pressing a fresh bouquet, I condition the flowers for at least 4 hours to restore their vibrancy.

    Then, depending on the type of flowers, I carefully arrange blooms and foliage in the press. Certain flowers need to be taken apart, pressed petal by petal, then reassembled.

    This part of the preservation process takes 2-3 weeks, with daily checks to replace the paper. Many flowers will brown and rot if they are not checked on regularly.

  • Once pressed, I reconstruct flowers as needed and design two options for you to choose from.

    If your commission also includes jewelry or homeware, I will work closely with you to choose the materials and style that make you happy.

    From start to finish, the overall bouquet reservation process takes 6-8 months, depending on any add-ons you’d like me to create.

  • Flower pressing is a time-intensive art that requires experience, hands-on work and care. A typical 16x20 frame takes at least 20 hours to complete.

    Here are a few price point examples:

    • 16x20 framed art starts at $665

    • Charcuterie boards start at $175

    • Earrings start at $90

    • Trays with handles start at $375

    • Set of 4 coasters starts at $180

  • No bouquet should be tucked away in a box! I am thrilled to offer bouquet restoration - a unique way to restore the beauty of air-dried arrangements as pressed flower art.

    The technique I created allows me to offer the same options I have available for fresh bouquets.

Pressed flowers are forever

As a pressed flower artist, my philosophy is to create a time capsule of your special moments. It’s not just getting the flower preservation science right. It’s about the story that pressed flowers whisper to us.

My aim is to recreate - in a permanent form - those fleeting moments of pure joy and delight you felt when you saw your arrangement on your wedding day.

Flower preservation
with extraordinary detail and vibrancy

I have developed a multi-step pressing method that ensures the best color and shape retention. Your flowers will look vibrant and life-like, with no browning.

My method works especially well for fluffy flowers like ranunculus, peonies and dahlias.
