Wedding Bouquet Preservation

Frequently Asked Questions:
Foire Aux Questions:

What’s the full process of getting my bouquet preserved?
  1. Initial Contact: Reach out to me before the wedding to plan the project & discuss your preferences.
  2. Shipping the Bouquet: Ship your flowers directly to me (in Paris, France) 24-72h after the wedding. The more fresh the flowers are, the better. If you or your guests are in Paris, we can also plan an in-person exchange. This is also when you provide any wedding invitation, vows, or photos you want to include in the composition.
  3. Pressing and Drying: As soon as your bouquet arrives, I press and dehydrate each flower, then leave them to dry completely for a few weeks.
  4. Choosing a Frame: We select a frame style and size for your composition. Standard frames come in size A3 (30 x 42 cm), with a double-glass backing and natural wood frame.
  5. Creating the Composition: I create your pressed bouquet composition according to your preferences and frame it.
  6. Receiving your frame: I mail your beautiful keepsake bouquet frame back to you!
How long does it take?

I ask for about 6 weeks after receiving your bouquet — enough time to let your flowers dry completely and craft a composition you’ll love. During peak wedding season (May-July), add a couple of extra weeks to the timeline.

How much does it cost?

The service is 350€, standard frame included. Shipping (sending your bouquet to me and the finished frame back to you) is additional — I’ll give you an estimate as soon as you reach out.

I am getting married in France but live abroad, can you ship the finished frame internationally?

Of course! Once you reach out to me, I will estimate the international shipping costs and add these to your final quote.

Can I include special items in my composition?

Absolutely! This is your souvenir, and I do my best to incorporate whatever personal elements you want to include in the composition. Just let me know and send me the item alongside your bouquet.
Some items I’ve included in past compositions include: invitations, wedding vows, photos, wedding certificates, couples’ logo, wedding date, wedding bands.

My wedding has already happened, do you take last minute requests?

Don’t worry — you’re not the first! Many of my clients reach out after the wedding, and I’m always happy to preserve your flowers if I’m available. Simply mention the wedding has already happened in the request form below and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible. I will provide you with all the information up front so you can send your flowers right away.

How do I ship my bouquet?

Once your wedding date approaches, I will reach out to send you my tips for mailing your bouquet to me. The important things to consider ahead of time are:

  1. Send your bouquet as soon as possible after the wedding (ie. the next day or within 72 hours). The more fresh the flowers are when they arrive, the more vibrant the final composition will be.
  2. Plan for a box that is larger than your bouquet to prevent the flowers from being constrained or crushed.

If you are in France, shipping via La Poste & Chronopost is the most affordable and reliable way to send your flowers. Expect shipping to cost between 10-30 euros. If you have the option of sending your package through express mail, I also recommend it so the flowers will be in the best possible condition when they arrive.

If you or your guests are in Paris, let me know and we can meet in person to exchange the bouquet as well as the finished frame.
