This section is to give you a better understanding of why the bridal bouquets are priced as they are. Below is an approximate breakdown of how many hours it takes for each process. Each piece is a handmade original piece of art!

Flowers from the wedding bouquet are meticulously pressed - this can take up to 3 hours just to get them all in to the presses. Often flower petals have to be pulled apart and individually pressed.

The flowers are checked regulary and then left to dry perfectly for 6-8 weeks (depending on the flowers).

Once flowers are pressed - flowers that need it are reconstructed. (approx 2 - 4 hours)

Glass is prepared and cleaned for the artwork.

The dried bouquet design is created and sent to the client for approval. (4+ hours)

Once approved, the flowers are adhered to the glass. Glue residue and fingerprints are cleaned. (1-2 hours)

Colour Enhancement to prolong the colour integrity of flowers is an optional extra. This can take 2 - 4 additional hours

Metal Frame - the frame is soldered around the glass using the tiffany stained glass method to fully encase them. The solder is then cleaned, polished, coloured, waxed and cleaned again. Ready to be delivered to it’s loving home! (2-3 hours)

Timber Frame - the timber frames are handmade by a local framer. (1-2 hours)

This process in total can take 5-9 months and in total 10 - 20 hours per piece - or until it is perfect! Flowers pressed in peak seasons may take and extra 4-12 weeks depending on workload at the time.
