I sometimes have requests to press a whole wedding bouquet and arrange the whole flowers back into place as a whole bouquet. However my style of modern flower pressing doesn’t really lend itself to this style of arrangement. I prefer to use single petals and flowers and leaves arranging them in a grid formation to create a more contemporary look as in the examples on here and on my instagram page. www.instagram.com/flowerpressstudios.
Also sometimes prospective clients are worried their special flowers are too wilted/past their best for flower pressing…If this is the case, I now have a brand new option for you!
I now have started to offer a brand new service where I can create bespoke personalised illustrations of your special flowers. I studied graphic design and illustration over 25 years ago at Norwich school of art and got side tracked working as a magazine art director and designer so it’s great to return to my first love of illustration again. My illustration style is quite modern and graphic and makes a change from the watercolour style of many bouquet illustrators. .

Here are a few pictures of my ‘mid-century modern’ inspired style of illustrating. These can be drawn from pictures of your bouquets and fully customised and personalised. The illustration can be printed and framed or supplied as a digital file for you to do as you wish. Perfect as a thank you card for your guests or as a memento of your special day. Also great as an anniversary present for the happy couple. Contact me to find out more.
