Helping couples preserve their beautiful wedding flowers by pressing them into a timeless piece of artwork to be enjoyed for years to come. Flowers are pressed dried and preserved. Servicing Atlantic Canada, Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick. Not local? your fresh flowers and final artwork can be shipped by courier at your expense.

YOUR FLOWERS
Since 2019, Seek & Bloom has been dedicated to pressing wedding bouquets for East Coast couples.
We understand the value of preserving the memories from your special day and are passionate about transforming your bouquet into forever. Rather than leaving your flowers to fleeting beauty, we will help you turn them into a sentimental piece of artwork in your home, preserving their natural elegance for years to come.

INVESTMENT
We offer a flat fee to preserve and design your forever bouquet artwork. Included is a locally handcrafted 16x20” natural pine or handpainted white frame, featuring a double white matte, enclosed in thick 3mm plexiglass for durability. If you wish, you may choose to add additional smaller pieces to your order for gifts and keepsakes.

A deposit/retainer fee is made at the time of booking to hold your wedding date as we have limited space per month for bouquet pressing. The remaining amount is due at the time of completion.

TIMING
We require your bouquet freshly delivered to us in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia within 2 days of your wedding. You can expect the pressing and design process to take approximately 6-10 weeks to complete during peak season (July-October).

CARE
Your flowers are naturally hand-pressed and preserved with lots of love and care. Each flower type is carefully pressed to hold colour as long as possible. Please keep in mind that each flower will change and soften through the drying process and develop more in character over time in your forever artwork.

Wedding Bouquet Preservation FAQ

Q: WILL THE COLOURS FADE?
A: Each flower is pressed to hold the colour as much as possible but naturally, the colours will fade over time. We recommend keeping your original pieces out of direct sunlight and humidity to preserve the quality of your artwork.

Q: DO FLOWERS HAVE TO BE FRESH TO PRESS?
A: Yes! Fresh flowers press best and we always try and press wedding pieces soon as they arrive to ensure the best quality and colours for your final artwork.

Q: MY BOUQUET IS ALREADY DRY, CAN YOU PRESS IT?
A: Typically no, as the flowers will crumble if put under any kind of pressure. If you have saved or pressed flowers and would like to have us frame them, please send a few photos and we will be able to tell if they are possible. If you have smaller dried flowers in your wedding bouquet we can usually still use them!

Q: DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
A: Yes! a $100 deposit is required to hold your wedding date as space is quite limited during the wedding season (June-Oct).

Q: WHAT IF MY FLOWERS DON'T TURN OUT?
A: Although we’ve never had an issue, there is always a possibility when dealing with perishable products that the flowers won’t press well or mould. If any particular flower type does not work out as planned, you may be notified by us if we feel it will impact the integrity of your final artwork. Please accept that we are not responsible to replace any particular flowers that may not have made it through the pressing process but if necessary we will happily work with you to substitute similar flowers from our collection to complete your final artwork.

Q: HOW LONG DO THE FLOWERS TAKE TO DRY?

A: While each flower dries differently in its own time, most bouquets take 3-5 weeks to completely dry and press. It will take an additional 2-4 weeks to complete your artwork once they are dry.

Q: I'M NOT LOCAL TO YOU, CAN YOU PRESS MY BOUQUET?
A: Your bouquet is very delicate and time-sensitive (fresh flowers always press best). While we do prefer it hand-delivered within 1-2 days of your wedding if you are unable to deliver personally please reach out to discuss shipping your bouquet to us by courier at your expense. We suggest next-day delivery with special packing instructions. Along with this, you can also now pay to have your finished artwork shipped to you once it's complete!

Q: HOW DO I KEEP MY FLOWERS FRESH FOR YOU?
A: After you are done with your ceremony & photos we recommend keeping your bouquet in a cool space and out of direct summer heat and in water until they are delivered. This will prevent wilting and help ensure they arrive in the best shape possible for pressing. If you have table arrangements that have similar flowers you can always send a few extras to make sure we are pressing the best flowers for your final artwork.

Q: CAN YOU RECOMMEND FLOWERS OR A FLORIST?

A: Yes! We have a community of amazing local florists and growers we love to work with! Just ask! If you tell your florist you plan to have us press your bouquet they may be able to suggest certain flowers as well. We also have a list of favourite flowers for pressing to send you after you book.
