Doreen Thew Pressed Flowers

We are a small family business that has been pressing flowers and creating lasting mementos for over 30 years.

Why not let me press your bouquet and transform it into a picture for you to keep forever and perhaps become an heirloom for your children and grandchildren to treasure?

Each flower will be carefully taken apart and each petal pressed for approximately 4 to 6 weeks before being reassembled into a replica of your original bouquet. I have been doing this for over 35 years so you can be assured your precious flowers are in safe and capable hands. Each picture may be heat-sealed with an invisible film to protect your flowers forever.

Christian names and dates may be included and if you chooses a larger size picture (10" x 12" or larger), the grooms buttonhole could be incorporated.

When your bouquet is reassembled there may be extra petals and leaves remaining and if you wish, these could be used to make smaller pictures for mothers, bridesmaids etc as gifts.

It is recommended that you book in advance as I limit the intake in any one week to ensure your flowers receive the very best of attention. A £10 booking fee is required as a deposit and will be deducted from your final bill.

The bouquet needs to be kept cool, but not in the fridge (and definitely not the freezer! ), and not sprayed with water. If you have chosen a hand tie you may re-cut the stems and place them in water until you can deliver them to me, preferably within 3 to 4 days.

Please contact me to arrange a time which is convenient to bring your flowers. As it takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for the flowers to be completely dried, I don't need to know what your chosen order may be at the time of delivery, I will press the flowers and await your decision (within 6 weeks please).
