These were Rebecca and Marc’s bouquet, they were local to me so they brought their wedding flowers around to the studio. This was one of the biggest bouquets that I have ever seen and contained so many different varieties of flowers.

A bouquet of mixed flowers including sunflowers, pink roses, red roses, blue delphiniums, white lilies, and greenery, set against a background of a cluttered workspace.

Included in the Wedding bouquet were red, pink and peach Roses, yellow Sunflowers, Clematis, pink Peonies and Dahlias, bright blue Delphiniums, Thistles, Ivy, Daucus, and Eucalyptus just to name a few.

Here I used the traditional slow living method of drying some of the flowers and greenery. For the rest of the flowers I used an alternative way of silica gel to dry out the flowers. Although some of the larger companies will use a freeze drying method to preserve wedding flowers, all of them create beautiful dried flowers.

These petals and flowers have just been dried and you can see how beautifully they have kept their colours. As Rebecca and Marc bought them to me shortly after the wedding, I was able to dry them whilst they were at their best.

Whilst the flowers were being dried, Rebecca and Marc got updates so that they knew what was happening with their flowers. Once all the flowers were dried, they received photos of what their flowers looked like. They had gone from just having a few pieces made for themselves, to ordering more pieces to give as thank you gifts.

After the flowers were dried, Marc and Rebecca got emails to check if they were happy with how the pieces were taking shape and if there was any tweaks that they wanted.

Once Rebecca and Marc were happy with all of the pieces that had been made for them, the jewellery was completed with their choice of chain lengths and different earring drops. Finally, tiny little personalised cards were created with their names, wedding date and the flowers used, which is a beautiful memento to go with the wedding flower jewellery.
