Preserving your wedding bouquet
A beautiful, romantic Summer bridal bouquet by Surrey wedding florist, Hayloft Floral.
An increasing number of my couples have been asking for ideas on bouquet preservation so I've put together this guide with some of my favourite companies. If you are looking to have your bouquet preserved then this is usually something that you need to book well in advance and the company in question will advise you on the best way to package and send your bouquet to get to them there asap after your wedding date. This list isn't exhaustive by and means and there are lots of companies out there who will do other things, such as preserving your flowers in resin, but these are the most beautiful options I've found.
Remember that you usually need to keep your flowers as fresh as possible so make sure they are in water as soon as you've finished your photos!

The custom botanist
So this isn't actually bouquet preservation as such, but Hannah will create the most gorgeous artwork of your wedding bouquet and the best thing is that as she works from photographs, you don't need to worry about packing and sending your flowers off somewhere, just make sure your photographer captures some great shots of the bouquet.
