The Botanical Bouquet is a custom fine art photographic print. It is a modern approach to wedding bouquet preservation, creating an heirloom art piece from your wedding flowers.
In 2018 the first bouquet preservation print of its kind in the UK was commissioned, and The Botanical Bouquet was born.

The Botanical Bouquet is an authentic, contemporary approach to preserving your bridal bouquet, inspired by a love for iconic botanical illustrations of the past. The oldest illustrated sketchbook is traced to a Greek botanist during the first century AD. The practice never went out of fashion.
Botanical illustration boomed across Europe during the Georgian and Victorian eras. Today the tradition continues to thrive, through watercolours, paper sculpture and glass art. I am proud to join the movement, with hand-crafted surfaces, finest pigment inks and pure cotton papers.
Strong inspiration is drawn from iconic botanical sketches of the past, together with contemporary botanical watercolours. As is true of all these illustrations, your bouquet print is also a work of art in its own right.
Our backdrops have been created by hand in Somerset from the finest paints and linen. Botanical names are added using sophisticated, premium handlettered fonts. Finally, finished images are meticulously printed in the UK on selected art papers of archival quality and then expertly hand-mounted with care to last a lifetime.

prepare your bouquet

01. Hydrate
Stand your bouquet in fresh water on your wedding day whenever you aren’t holding it, ensuring every stem is fully immersed. Don’t throw your bouquet!
02. Untie
As soon as you have finished with your bouquet, remove all ribbons and string. Cut through the green florists tape and discard. Stand the stems in water constantly until ready to pack, topping up the water if it gets low. Throw out and replace the water if it becomes cloudy.
03. Pack
Wrap wet kitchen roll or tissue around the cut ends of 2-3 stems of each variety and place in groups into plastic sandwich bags. Line a box with carrier bags then place stems in top-to-toe. Begin with the heaviest blooms and foliage first, followed by the most fragile, placing light tissue paper between each layer.
04. Post
You will need to pack up your flowers to send to me via Royal Mail Special (Next Day) Delivery on the date we agree so I am there to receive them. Alternatively, why not arrange for your florist to send me a selection direct.
