I have 6 wedding bouquets in the press at the moment. It’s always lovely to work on a client’s special flowers and to create a bespoke artwork for them made from their wedding flowers. Often extra details can be included into the picture. Recently I made a picture for a client where I was asked to include a napkin from the wedding breakfast. If you would like your wedding bouquet preserved and hand pressed and also want some other details include just contact hello@flowerpressstudios.com with a picture of the flowers in there current condition and any other items you would like included. Here’s an example of the one recently made

How to preserve your wedding bouquet after the big day
Here at Flower Press Studios I love preserving wedding bouquets after the big day. It is always a privilege to work with the bride’s wedding flowers and make them into pressed flower art. The first step is to email a photo of the bridal bouquet to me at hello@flowerpressstudios.com. Prices begin at £150 for a 10 x 12 inch framed artwork.
Care and attention is taken with each flower to preserve it. Flowers are pressed between fine blotting paper and checked every few days. I have learnt over the years to keep a close eye on the flowers. Often changing the paper or the position of the flowers to keep them in optimum condition. Some colour flowers press better than others so I use the best preserved flowers to create the final bespoke artwork. I often feature the commissions on my instagram at www.instagram.com/flowerpressstudios
Yes you can press the flowers yourself but I know from experience you can get mixed results. At Flower Press Studios I can recolour flowers that may have faded and understand from 5 years experience how to preserve them for optimal results.
