Wedding Bouquet Preservation
Preserve your wedding bouquet into a timeless piece of forever art
Your wedding bouquet holds the memories of a day you’ll never forget—why let that beauty fade?
At Seek & Bloom, we turn those cherished flowers into meaningful artwork, capturing the essence of your love story in every petal. Each flower is hand-pressed with care, and your bouquet is framed in a custom locally handcrafted wood frame, finished to suit your style and space.
With a passion for preserving life’s most precious moments, we ensure your bouquet becomes a lasting reminder of the joy, love, and commitment you celebrated.
Let us help you keep those memories alive, beautifully and forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work with fresh flowers?
Flowers need to be as fresh as possible for pressing. This helps prevent unnecessary browning and moulding during the drying process. If you have smaller dried flowers in your wedding bouquet I can usually use them. However, I can not press previously dried wedding bouquets.
How early do I need to book?
You can book your preservation date up to a year in advance. I take a limited amount of bouquets each month to ensure they get the love they deserve.
Last minute bookings are possible within 1-3 days of your wedding. If your date is no longer available to book please email Ashley directly for last minute availability or to join the waitlist.
Do you require a deposit?
A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date and is paid at the time of booking.
How much does it cost?
Your investment for your bouquet artwork is $595 . The final invoice (less your $200 deposit will be sent after your artwork is complete and ready for pickup or delivery.
Can I request additional items for gifts?
You can request additional smaller framed items (8x10-11x14 frame size) at the time of booking. While I don't offer resin, I can create gifts like bookmarks, ornaments or note cards from your flowers on request. Please keep in mind I sometimes require extra flowers for additional items.
How do I get my flowers to you?
Drop off your flowers in person at the scheduled date and time to Ashley in the Annapolis Valley, NS or contact us to make courier arrangements.

Can my flowers or artwork be shipped?
We do prefer to have your flowers delivered within 1-3 days of your wedding. If you are not local and unable to hand-deliver please reach out to discuss shipping your bouquet to by courier. If you live out of province we are happy to ship your bouquet artwork when it is complete.
How long does it take to receive my artwork?
Your artwork will take approx 10-12 weeks to be ready for pick up. Your bouquet spends 3-5 weeks in our flower press and an additional 4-6 weeks is typical for artwork and custom framing during peak season.
What can I expect my flowers to look like after pressing?
Your flowers are naturally hand-pressed and preserved with lots of love and care. Each flower type is carefully pressed to hold it's vibrancy and colour as long as possible. Please keep in mind that each flower will change and or soften through the drying process and develop more in character over time in your forever artwork.
Can you recommend a florist?
