A once in a lifetime surprise!
These flowers were air dried over a year ago from an engagement day. The fiancé contacted me to preserve them further to surprise his future bride on their wedding day!

Makes it very special and fun! Limited dates available for 2024 - Message to see if your date is avail I live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. I only work with local Pittsburgh clients. I'm obsessed with resin and always up for a new challenge. If you have seen something that you are interested in but don't see it listed here, message me. I may be able to do it. I limit how many clients I tak
e each month. Message to see if your date is available. Clients are welcome to schedule time to come to the workshop to create the layout. Each piece is a custom and one of a kind work of art that will represent a special life event. Gift Certificates are Available
Ask me about Bridesmaid's or large group gifts. ASAP after the event the client needs to deliver their flowers. Great care is taken to be sure that this is a memorable wonderful experience. I typically spend between 3-7 hours on the flowers preparing them for the resin. Not all flowers are the same. Some turn out more vibrant some translucent. Some flowers are hardy; some not so. Utmost care goes into preserving your flowers. Flowers will be trimmed and delicately placed in silica or pressed and placed in silica for 3-4 weeks. Once dried flowers are removed from the silica gently brushing to get silica powder off. If flowers fall apart (many do) they are repaired. All flowers are sprayed with a flower preservation spray and stored in a humidity controlled room. This cost is included in the bundles. The flowers are ready for layout. At this point the client will have the option to come to the workshop on a scheduled date to create the layout or to opt out of helping with the layout and have design images emailed for approval. Once layouts are agreed upon the resin will be poured in thinner layers to protect the quality of the flowers and reduce bubbles. I use a high quality resin specifically made for flowers. While I strive to reduce bubbles some very well may appear and are a nature of the product. It will take 3-8 weeks to complete, cure and polish your project depending upon how large the project is. Look for the price list and bundle options in the featured tab of this page.

Hey flower lovers! 🌹Did you know there are so many cool ways to keep your flowers alive in art? 🌺 Save wedding, funeral or special occasion flowers.
You can put the flowers into resin, making trays and coasters, ornaments, create letters, jewelry cubes and more with flower petals…endless options including photos and mementos. The best part is you can help in the designing layout process making it a unique one of a kind piece!
As soon as possible after the event you would deliver the flowers. At that point I will preserve them in silica sand for 3-4 weeks. Once dried the flowers are removed and lightly brushed and sprayed with a floral preservative. At that point they’re ready to make the layout. Clients can schedule time to come to the workshop and create the layout. Once the layout is complete I will put multiple layers of resin over the flowers. Thin layers help protect the beauty of the flowers and reduce bubbles. Each layer needs to cure for approximately 30 hours. It’s a process and takes time but patience sure pays off to a lifetime piece to remember that special event.

This is the second post in a series of how your flowers are preserved in resin.
A lot of time and dedication goes into each flower and ounce of resin. This particular piece has 7 layers of resin that are carefully poured around the flowers in thin layers. Microbubbles are removed from each batch of resin in a vacuum chamber. The tray sits on a leveling board to ensure the resin evenly.

I love how this tray turned out. Measures 16.4” x 12.2” and is 3.2” thick! It holds a lot of resin and is very heavy. This oversize tray allows for bigger thicker flower pieces. The tray comes in white and walnut. Can you imagine saving your bridal flowers in this and treasuring them for years to come? Otherwise those pretty flowers that you paid a pretty penny for are gone in a week.
This piece is 7 layers of resin. Some flowers are pressed and some are in their natural state preserved in silica. The middle pressed rose went in on the third layer. This bride chose Dormont Florist for her flowers.
At this time I am specializing in only trays and some smaller items as add ons. Message or comment below to see if your date is available.

This is the first in a series of how we prepare and preserve your special flowers. So much care goes into each flower.
The drying process is one of the most important steps. The sooner you get the flowers started in the silica or pressed the better the results. For this order we collected the flowers at the end of the reception and I was up until 2 am placing them carefully in the silica and pressing. So worth it. Look at the results. There are a lot of flowers!
After the flowers were taken out of the silica they were placed in bins and put in a warm room with a dehumidifier for a day just to be sure the moisture is out.
Before these flowers are placed in resin they will get a light spray of dried floral spray.
The cost to dry out and prepare your flowers for the resin ranges from $35.00 - 100.00 depending upon how many flowers you want preserved. There is no cost if you are only having a couple flowers for a ring holder or ornament.
You have options!
1) You can pay us to pick up your flowers. Cost depends upon the distance to your reception.
2) You can designate someone to deliver them by the next morning to the South Hills of Pittsburgh.
3) You or a special crafty friend/ relative can get them ready in silica and or press yourself. This will save you the drying out cost. Note that the flowers will also need to be sprayed once out of the silica and or press. I can send lots of instructions. This is really meant for someone that their wedding is too far for pickup or delivery or we’re booked for that week. By the time you purchase enough silica and bins you probably aren’t saving any money.
