The joy of paper flowers is that they last longer than cut blooms. To enjoy them for the longest possible time, please keep your flowers out of direct sunlight (away from windows) and please don't water them! I recommend avoiding bathrooms and kitchens as moisture may affect their petals. If you live in a humid environment, they can be placed under a glass cloche. Paper flowers don't tend to collect too much much dust but if they do, they can be dusted with a make-up brush.
Paper naturally fades over time even in artificial light. If you keep your flowers out of direct sunlight you will protect them for longer. Additionally you may wish to apply a UV-resistant spray to the petals and leaves. I prefer not to add these plastic coatings as I like to maintain the recyclable and sustainable nature of my flowers.
Absolutely! If a flower you love is out of season or not available, or your florist is unable to source a variety that has special meaning for you, I can create realistic paper stems that your florist can include within a bouquet. One of my favourite examples was creating blue pansies that wouldn't otherwise have been possible to include due to their very short stems!
Not at all. In our initial chat you can let me know if there is a particular colour scheme or a specific flower that you would like included and I am happy to suggest complementary colours and flowers to make up the size and style of bouquet or arrangement to suit. Equally I can work from a blank canvas with just a season or colour scheme in mind.
Absolutely; one of the advantages of paper bouquets is that you can take them to your chosen destination and then bring them back with you! You can also have a bouquet that combines your favourite flowers and local blooms that represent your chosen country for your big day.
This is my favourite way to work. I love a blank canvas! I will happily talk through your theme and any ideas with you and then create a sample or two for you to review. The sample can then be tweaked so that it best represents your story.
No two weddings are the same so I like to keep it simple and leave you in charge of what you need. If you are looking for a matching theme through your stationery suite, I can accommodate that and create anything from Save the Dates, invitations, Orders of Service, place settings, table names, table plan and menus to thank you cards. If you are looking for only one or two items, I can make those bespoke for you.
My stationery is entirely handcrafted and bespoke so if you see part of a design you like, I can easily combine with aspects of another design or we can add details and embellishments that are entirely unique for your theme.
I create everything completely bespoke without set templates so prices do vary. After chatting through your themes/colours/ideas, I create a sample for your review and always provide a quotation at this stage. When we first chat, either in person or virtually, I can also give you an idea of cost before I set off creating your sample. I also recognise that you may have a budget so please let m know when we chat and I can talk through design options to accommodate this.
I'd love to hear from you! I always like to arrange to chat either in person or virtually when you first get in touch so that it gives you chance to meet me and you can more easily talk through your ideas and questions. Drop me a message through the contact form and we can discuss all things floral or stationery!
I'm a huge fan of fantasy and a real lover of maps! All I need to know is the area you would like covered and any particular landmarks/features you would like included. A retro-fantasy-style map makes a lovely gift and also makes unique wedding stationery for fantasy lovers!
I have packaged and shipped my floral artwork to Australia, the US, Europe and the Far East so if you are looking for flowers either for yourself or as a gift, please send me a message and let me know your location.
Very happily! I can work from the real stem or a photograph to recreate a particular flower that has special meaning to you or a loved one.
I can provide a handcrafted gift card with your message handwritten inside.
