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.

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.
