  • While many flowers can be successfully pressed, some varieties are not suitable for this process. Flowers with thick centers, such as dahlias or chrysanthemums, succulents, and certain Australian natives like proteas, fall into this category. Consequently, I cannot guarantee that every type of flower will appear in the final framed display. I carefully select the best flowers from the pressing process to ensure the most attractive and durable result.

    It's worth noting that not all flowers retain their original colours during the pressing and drying process. In particular, white-coloured flowers tend to turn yellowish-brown and lose their vibrancy. As a result, I do not accept white bouquets exclusively. I prefer to work with a variety of colours to produce the most visually appealing outcome.

  • Kindly allow a period of 3-4 months for the completion of your unique pressed flower artwork. I do not use any chemical methods to hasten the drying process, as I believe in preserving the natural beauty of each flower.

    To ensure the best possible result, I meticulously apply specific pressing techniques to each flower. This process involves deconstructing the bouquet and delicately pressing each bloom, a task that demands hours of my time and expertise. The result, however, is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that captures the beauty and individuality of every flower

  • For optimal results, please drop off your wedding bouquet within 1-3 days after your special day. The fresher the blooms, the better they will press and the more vibrant the final display will be

  • We can arrange to pick up your bouquet for a fee of $300, as long as the location is within 20 km of Perth. This convenient option leaves the task of bouquet transport in our capable hands so that you can focus on enjoying your special day. Please contact us to organise pick up hours.

  • Because of the limited availability of my bespoke services, I regret that I am unable to offer payment plans at this time.

  • Working with flowers can be quite delicate, and we recommend that you send us your bouquet within 1-3 days of your wedding to ensure maximum freshness. Damaged or wilted blooms may impact the quality of the final pressed product, so it's essential that the flowers are in the best possible condition before we begin the pressing process.

  • Keep your flowers as cool as possible, but avoid putting them in your fridge, if you can. Florists' coolers range from 33° to 40°F, so your fridge likely won't be cool enough and any fruit or vegetables could emit ethylene gas, which shortens the life of cut flowers. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your flowers prior to the wedding

  • In some cases, couples opt to have a second bouquet created specifically for pressing. This approach ensures that the blooms are at their freshest and most vibrant. By taking care to preserve the freshness of your blooms, you can enjoy a beautiful keepsake that captures the essence of your wedding day for years to come.

  • Gift vouchers make a wonderful present for newlyweds, and having their wedding bouquet pressed and framed is a unique and thoughtful gift that will be cherished for years to come. This special offering can come from parents, friends, or relatives, and is a perfect way to honor the happy couple's special day.

    If you're considering offering this unique gift, consider pooling your resources at the office or among a group of friends to create a memorable and personalised present. The couple will appreciate the thought and effort that went into such a beautiful and lasting keepsake, and will be able to enjoy their wedding day blooms for a lifetime.

  • One of the enchanting features of pressed flowers is that their colours tend to transform naturally over time, adding to their charm and poetic character.

    To preserve your pressed flower frame in the best possible condition, it's important to keep it away from direct sunlight and to display it in a room that's protected from humidity. This will help ensure optimal conservation and longevity for your delicate and unique work of art.

  • Flower pressing is a beautiful art form that I highly encourage you to explore. However, it's important to recognize that flowers are delicate and can become mouldy if the pressing process is not executed correctly.

    After you drop off your bouquet, I dedicate several hours to expertly pressing each flower using the best possible techniques. Some blooms require the individual removal and pressing of each petal, a meticulous process that demands great attention to detail. For this reason, I recommend that you allow me to handle the pressing, so that you can enjoy your time with your family without worry. Trust in my experience and expertise to create a stunning pressed flower display that you will treasure for years to come.
