One of the services I’m most passionate about is preserving wedding flowers and transforming them into works of art. After spending so much time planning your florals and investing so much money, it’s terrible to have to throw them away after the wedding or slowly watch them fade and shrivel! I’m proud to be one of the few studios to offer this unique service.
My signature process involves pressing flowers and arranging them to create a one-of-a-kind art piece that complements your style and stands out as a décor piece in your home. These heirloom pieces of art are mounted on glass and framed in a wood of your choice. Most bouquets can be worked into a beautiful dried wreath or wall mount and I love creating custom sets of art!
Here I’ve collected tons of before and after collages so you can really get an idea of how a fresh bouquet looks after undergoing the pressing process.

Fresh vs. Pressed
When flowers are fresh they are very lush and large, but when they are pressed or dried, flowers shrink and often change colors. I’m always happy to receive additional flowers (bridesmaids bouquets or centerpieces work great!) I also have an extensive collection of pressed flowers I can pull from (in matching colors) to complete a full design. I can also reorder the specific flowers in your bouquet in the event they are damaged during your wedding day.

Vibrant Colors
As a general rule, the more colorful the flower, the better it looks after the pressing process. Whites and pale blush tones often turn brown or yellow during pressing so, the more vibrant your colors, the better! The exception are white ranunculus, spray roses and smaller textural bits which press very well!

Let’s Coordinate
I would be more than happy to speak with your florist so we can plan your flowers from a preservation standpoint. I find that coordination ahead of time leads to the most stunning and sought-after designs!
