I take in a small number of wedding commissions each year. My full framed pieces start at 16 x 20" and up, while smaller work, just one or two of your favourite blooms, is a simpler, more affordable option for brides who want something more minimal.

Over time I've worked with a custom framer to develop beautiful maple glass-on-glass and matte background framing options made just for your piece. Sizes and formats are flexible and usually come together through a bit of back and forth between us once I see your flowers.

If you have flowers that fit the list below and you'd love to work together, send me an email - I'd love to hear from you.

• Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: I work mostly with flowers that are pesticide and herbicide free to ensure a purity inside my art.

• Handcrafted with Love: Each piece is meticulously crafted to preserve the beauty of your flowers.

• Storytelling: Pressed and framed flowers are designed to be a lasting memento that tells your story.

Cost -

The "Wedding Edit" option includes smaller frames for a single bloom or just a few flowers, starting at $125 for a custom 5×7" glass-on-glass frame. Full packages for 16×20" frames start at $550 for a custom painted matte background, or $650 for full glass-on-glass work - with pricing increasing from there depending on size and complexity.

Shipping flowers and frames -

If you don't live in the Ottawa area, you're welcome to ship your flowers to me overnight soon after your wedding, and I'll take it from there. For shipping bridal work back to you, I use UV-resistant plexiglass to keep your piece safe in transit.

For couples outside Ottawa, the Wedding Edit is a great fit - it's a simple, low-hassle option to ship back and forth while still getting a beautiful custom piece. Larger orders are absolutely still possible too, so just note your interest in the form below.

Ideal flowers -

• bouquet/arrangement has a natural design style

• less than half of the flowers are white

• plenty of shapes and textures

Fading and colour correction -

Pressed flowers are made from real, living material, and like all living things, they will change with time. Sunlight, age, and the flower's own pigment all play a part, and over the years your piece will soften into deeper, more muted tones. I see this not as a flaw but as part of the beauty of working with something real, a quiet reminder that nothing stays exactly the same, and that's part of what makes it meaningful. I want to be upfront about this rather than promise something that isn't true to the medium.

This is also why I rarely colour correct my work. Some pressed flower artists will repaint or tint petals to hold a colour artificially. I don't, because it covers up the very thing that makes pressed flowers beautiful in the first place. Instead, I'm selective from the start. When I press and lay out your piece, I choose the flowers that hold their colour most naturally and need the least correction, so the art itself stays as true to your flowers as possible. It's also part of why I ask that fewer than half your blooms be white. White flowers shift the most in pressing, and I'd rather build your piece around blooms that age beautifully.

If you'd love to have a version of your art that never fades, I offer a digital fine art photograph as an add on, so you have the piece preserved exactly as it is, forever. This is available as a fine art giclée print through my printer, or as a digital file for whatever you need. A keepsake of the colour and detail at its freshest, alongside the original piece as it lives and changes over time.

A quick note on floral foam:

I don't accept flowers in floral foam. If yours were arranged in foam, just pull them out and pop them in a vase before you ship or drop off.
