If you’re wondering which flower preservation option is right for you, here’s everything you need to know.
Shadowbox Frames
If you’d like your bouquet to look as close as possible to the day you carried it, Shadowbox Frames is the perfect choice.
Shadowbox Frames are deep frames specially designed for flower preservation. Their extra depth allows your flowers to retain their natural three-dimensional shape, creating a beautiful and long-lasting display.
I use custom-made Shadowbox Frames, available in a variety of sizes and colours, all fitted with UV-protective glass to help protect your preserved flowers. Every frame is handcrafted by my trusted UK based frame maker, ensuring a high-quality finish for your flower preservation keepsake.
In Shadowbox Frames the flowers keep their natural shape, creating depth and a realistic bouquet display.
Shadow Boxes are ideal if you’d like to preserve most or all of your bouquet.
This timeless style beautifully captures the texture, movement and character of your flowers, making it one of the most popular choices for wedding bouquet preservation in the UK.
Why choose a Shadowbox Frame?
For many couples, preserving the bouquet exactly as they remember it is the most important part of flower preservation. A Shadowbox Frame keeps your flowers in their natural shape, allowing you to enjoy the same depth, texture and movement they had on your wedding day.
Every bouquet is individually arranged by hand, ensuring the final design complements the natural shape of your flowers. Whether your bouquet includes roses, peonies, hydrangeas, eucalyptus or seasonal blooms, each arrangement is carefully composed to create a beautiful display that reflects your original bouquet.
Because Shadowbox Frames preserve the flowers in their original form, they become a stunning statement piece for your home. Many couples display them in their hallway, bedroom or living room, where they can enjoy their wedding memories every day.
If you’re looking for professional flower preservation in Cardiff or anywhere across the UK, a Shadowbox Frame remains one of the most popular choices for preserving wedding bouquets.

Glass Domes
Glass Domes offer a beautifully elegant way to preserve a smaller selection of flowers. Like my Shadowbox Frames, the flowers are carefully preserved in their natural 3D shape, helping to retain as much of their original form, colour and beauty as possible. They’re perfect for displaying one or several stems, creating a timeless keepsake that showcases the flowers from every angle while maintaining their natural appearance.
Glass Domes offer a timeless and elegant way to preserve a smaller selection of meaningful flowers from your bouquet. Rather than preserving every bloom, they focus attention on the flowers that hold the greatest sentimental value.

Pressed Flower Preservation
For a more contemporary finish, Pressed Flower Preservation transforms your bouquet into delicate botanical artwork.
Pressed Flower Frames are slim, standard-depth frames designed to display flowers that have been carefully pressed flat. Unlike Shadowbox Frames, they do not have extra depth, creating a clean, elegant and contemporary finish that beautifully showcases the delicate details of each preserved flower.
As they do not have the depth of a Shadowbox Frame, Pressed Flower Frames are also lighter in weight, making them easy to hang and ideal for displaying in any room of your home.
I offer a wide variety of Pressed Flower Frames in a range of sizes, colours and natural wood finishes, allowing you to choose the perfect frame to complement both your preserved flowers and your home décor.
Each flower is carefully pressed and preserved before being thoughtfully arranged inside a frame. Every design is individually created, making each piece completely unique.
Pressed Flower Frames have become increasingly popular for couples in the UK looking for a modern, elegant way to preserve their wedding bouquet while showcasing the intricate details and colours of every bloom.
The finished artwork offers a lighter, more artistic appearance that complements both modern and traditional interiors.
Pressed Flower Preservation offers a completely different style while preserving the same treasured memories.
Because every petal, leaf and stem is positioned by hand, no two Pressed Flower Frames are ever identical. This makes every piece completely unique to your bouquet.
Many couples love this style because it has a lighter, contemporary feel that works beautifully in modern homes while still showcasing every delicate detail of the flowers they carried on their wedding day.
