Flowers mark the most important occasions in our lives. Here at Anther we carefully preserve your most precious blooms, turning them into bespoke pieces of art to be treasured forever.
Wedding Bouquet Preservation
Your blooms need to be as fresh as possible in order to preserve them, and must arrive to me within 3 days of the wedding.
They can be dropped in person to my studio in Broad Oak (TN31) or posted via courier. Instructions for posting will be sent once your date is reserved.
Once they arrive your flowers will be carefully taken apart, some petal by petal, before being pressed using a a combination of traditional and modern methods.
The pressing process can be a long one. This is to ensure the colours are preserved as best as possible, and to remove all the moisture from the flowers. Flowers will usually be in the presses for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Once your flowers are ready to use, they will be delicately arranged to create a beautiful and completely unique piece of artwork. You will then receive a mock up of your design for approval, before it is glued and professionally framed by a local framer.
Our current wait times from delivery of flowers, to dispatch of your piece is 4-5 months, depending on the season.
