After pressing your flowers, I play with ideas for a beautiful design, and then get your input on several options.

Are you looking for a custom pressed floral bouquet preservation? I’d love to work with you! Together, we can turn your bouquet into a piece of art that captures the beauty of your flowers and the memories of your special day!

Here’s how it works!

  1. After your wedding or other floral event, we get your flowers to me as soon as possible! If you live in the Greater Boston area, I am happy to pick them up after your event. If you are not local, they can be express mailed. In either case, I work with you, a member of your wedding party, your florist, or your wedding coordinator to plan these important details. 
  2. Within 24 hours of receiving your flowers, I press them. I use a microwave method, so they are usually ready within a day.
  3. I begin to play with ideas based on your preferences and get back to you with initial design options for your feedback. Typical designs include recreating the bouquet, creating a flowing design with the flowers, or creating an image of the couple. Common sizes are 16″ x 20″ and 18″ x 24″. Typical framing choices are double glass or traditional with mat. See some the pieces I have done below to get your creative juices flowing! 
  4. I create the final design, checking in with you regularly as needed. I offer the option of supplementing with my own pressed flowers if desired.
  5. To complete your piece, I work with a local professional framer who brings expertise and expands framing options.  
  6. We arrange a time for me to deliver your completed piece, or we arrange shipping. You now have your memories preserved on your wall!

Fill out the intake form below, and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
