Wedding Bouquet Preservation

Transforming your bouquet into a bespoke piece of art.

BOOK

Hello, I’m Lydia!

I’m based in Surrey and work from my garden studio which is particularly lovely to work in during the spring. After studying art & design at college and university, I went on to work as a Graphic Designer in the film industry. This required a whole range of skills, one of which was pressing flowers and creating herbarium pages. I loved this so much that I began creating my own herbarium pages with local wildflowers, and in the summer of 2020, I decided to set up my own business selling these.

A year later, I was asked by my friend if I’d press her wedding bouquet and after sharing photos of it on Instagram, I was inundated by others asking me to preserve their’s too, so I launched Lydia Florence Flowers.

  • Start by choosing your design.

    Once you’ve made your booking, I’ll provide you with a free ‘Bouquet Postal Pack’ containing everything you need to send me your flowers safely. After your wedding, your bouquet should be kept in water and posted within 1-2 days.

    Pressed flower design: Each flower will be carefully added into one of my traditional presses. The pressing process can take up to 4 weeks, during which time I will continually check on them, make adjustments, and change the paper when needed. Once pressed, your chosen design will be created and housed in Nielsen® framing. You’ll be emailed photos of your completed artwork, along with an invoice for remaining payment. It will be dispatched with Royal Mail’s ‘Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm’ service.

    Shadow-box: Your bouquet will be dried for up to 5 weeks. Once dry, I’ll create your arrangement and order a custom-sized frame to fit. You’ll be emailed photos of your completed artwork, along with an invoice for remaining payment and we will arrange a suitable date and time to deliver your completed artwork.

  • Not best for pressing: Lisianthus, dahlias, lilies, peonies, chrysanthemums. Unsuitable for shadow-boxes: Lilies & orchids.

  • A £150 deposit is required to secure your place in my calendar. You’ll be invoiced for the remaining payment once your artwork’s complete, with payment required before dispatching.
