Meaningful flowers, preserved in resin
Flowers from a wedding, funeral or another meaningful occasion can become a handcrafted resin keepsake. We carefully dry selected real flowers and arrange them in clear resin.
How flower preservation works
1 · Get your flowers to us
Please get your flowers to us as soon as possible after the occasion. Fresh flowers generally give us the best starting point. Arrange delivery or collection with us in advance wherever possible.
2 · Carefully dried · approximately 1 week
Before flowers can be placed into resin, they must be completely dry. We carefully remove moisture while trying to retain as much of their natural shape, colour and character as possible. Drying time varies depending on the flowers.
3 · Preserved in resin · approximately 3–4 weeks
Once dry, selected flowers are carefully arranged in your chosen mould. Larger pieces require multiple resin stages and sufficient curing time between each layer.
4 · Finished by hand
Once fully cured, your keepsake is removed from its mould and carefully finished. Every arrangement is unique — no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.
Allow approximately 4–5 weeks
This is an approximate timeframe rather than a guaranteed completion date. Drying and curing times vary, and we would always rather give your flowers and resin the time they need than rush something this special.

Before giving us your flowers
- Get your flowers to us as soon as reasonably possible after the occasion.
- Keep them somewhere cool before delivery or collection.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Do not leave your flowers inside a hot vehicle.
- Handle the flowers as little as possible.
- Contact us before the occasion wherever possible so we can plan for receiving them.
Real flowers naturally change
Flower preservation is a natural process. Flowers can change in colour, shade, shape or appearance while drying and after being placed in resin. Some varieties retain their original appearance better than others. Small imperfections and variations are normal when working with real flowers and handcrafted resin, so we cannot guarantee that every flower will look exactly as it did when fresh.
Frequently asked questions
How soon do you need my flowers?
As soon as possible is best. Please arrange delivery or collection with us in advance wherever possible.
Do my flowers have to be fresh?
Fresh flowers generally give us the best starting point. If yours have already begun drying, contact us with a photograph and we can advise based on their condition.
Can you preserve already-dried flowers?
Potentially, yes. Send us photographs first so we can assess their condition and discuss the available options.
Will my flowers stay exactly the same colour?
Not necessarily. Some colours and varieties retain their appearance better than others, while others can become darker, lighter or change tone during preservation.
Can my entire flower arrangement fit inside one piece?
Usually not. We select flowers and foliage to represent your arrangement. Larger moulds naturally allow more material to be preserved.
Can I request a particular arrangement?
Yes. Tell us about your preferences when ordering and we will take them into consideration. The final arrangement also depends on how each flower dries and the space available.
Can sentimental items be included?
Depending on size and suitability, we may be able to include ribbon, wedding stationery, photographs, handwritten messages, jewellery or other small keepsakes. Please discuss these with us first.
How should I care for my finished piece?
Keep it indoors, away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive heat. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface.
