Wedding commissions.
Remember the day and preserve your wedding bouquet in a unique,
personalised plaster cast made from your beautiful wedding flowers.
Preserve those cherished memories from your wedding day with a bespoke botanical plaster cast of your wedding bouquet flowers. Using an ancient casting technique, I will capture the essence of your blooms in a unique piece of art to hang in your home. This timeless keepsake can capture the ephemeral beauty of your special flowers allowing you to enjoy them both visually and texturally in an everlasting piece of art.
How it works: -
Firstly, we discuss the date of the wedding and book the date in my calendar, plus what flowers you will have in your bouquet and what sized cast you would like.
Things to take in consideration are the style of the cast (natural, white or tinted in watercolour), square, rectangular or round, how many pieces you would like, whether there are any special additions in the cast (ribbons/shells/special memorabilia).
I can also cast spare bouquet flowers in small 10cm roundels as gifts for parents/bridesmaids.
Once a date has been confirmed you will need to arrange delivery of the fresh bouquet to me, to arrive as soon as possible after the wedding (preferably the next day). Or we can liaise with your florist to have the flowers used in your bouquet delivered to me before/on the wedding day.
Making the botanical casts:-
I will then sort and arrange your flowers to make an artistic composition in clay. This process can take at least one or two days to complete and once the cast has set, the cleaning and drying can take up to 8 to 10 weeks. As soon as it is ready, I will then arrange for delivery or collection of your personal, bespoke, piece of art.
You are more than welcome to visit my home studio to look at sizes and styles or my website has several examples of both natural and tinted casts.
