How to preserve your wedding bouquet after the big day

Vanessa Grzywacz

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.

Wedding bouquet illustrations drawn from your wedding bouquet pictures or videos

I’ve recently started offering bespoke illustrations of brides wedding bouquets drawn from pictures supplied by the couple or their relatives. Was so pleased to work on this illustration drawn from a relative’s photos of the day. A beautiful bouquet featured in a lovely winter wedding in the Snow Basin Ski Resort, Utah https://www.snowbasin.com. I was able to see the bouquet in detail from the couple’s wedding video and I hope it was a lovely anniversary gift surprise for the happy couple. It’s such an honour to play a part in a couple’s special day in this way. This illustration was supplied as a digital hi resolution file that that was then printed on high quality paper and framed. I can also sort the printing myself. Just contact me to discuss options

Your special flowers

It’s been lovely since lockdown ended to work on some more commissioned artworks. Recently I’ve made a picture for a bride’s mother from the bridal bouquet and a larger picture for a bride. So lovely to preserve flowers in this way and to make something from flowers that would otherwise be thrown away

Here at Flower Press Studios we love to create pressed flower, bespoke, original artworks from your flower bouquets whether it’s wedding flower bouquets or Valentine’s floral displays. Today I’m working on an artwork created from a single stem red rose given on Valentine’s day 2019. With a recent You Gov survey showing that spending it likely to be up 32% this year on this special day it makes sense that all that money doesn’t go to waste!

Don’t let those beautiful flowers end up in the bin. Bring them to our studios.

Imagine if your fiancé proposes this year what a lovely way to remember the day for years to come.
