We at Element Design are thrilled to introduce something entirely new to the world of preservation– Digital Floral! Our latest division is a way to preserve your flowers without the hassle and cost of mailing in blooms. We wanted to give the opportunity to have beautiful, sentimental floral art to every couple, including those who carried their flowers long ago. Even if your florals are long gone, we can create a pressed style framed piece that will bring you back to the moment you held your blooms for the first time. Using photographs of pressed flowers from our digital library, we bring your original arrangement back to life!
Why Go Digital?
Everything we do at Element centers around providing our clients with tangible ways to hold on to the most important memories, from weddings to memorials. We understand that bouquet preservation on a large scale is relatively new, and we wanted to find ways to ensure that those who may not have heard of us sooner would have options. While we also offer recreation services, Digital Floral is another way for those hoping to recapture the magic of their fresh flowers to do so. Digital Floral is, naturally, a bit faster of a turnaround than our fresh to pressed flower designs, as we do not need to take anything through the long process of pressing. This makes it perfect for those who are hoping to give this as a gift for anniversaries or holidays, as you have a bit more time to consider all your options!
We know that wedding costs can add up quickly. Part of creating Digital Floral was to provide options for anyone who may love the idea of pressed flowers, but didn’t know to leave room for it in the budget. We wanted to make pressed floral artwork more accessible to anyone and everyone.
One thing we love about Digital Floral designs is the fact they are truly unchanging. Your blooms will never fade from the way they will look when you unbox your Digital Floral frame. We love that pressed flowers go through changes over the course of a lifetime, but for some, those changes are less than ideal. If you want to be sure that your Element artwork will not alter over time, Digital Floral may be just the thing for you!
Turning Pressed Flowers into Digital Art
Digital Floral designs are crafted by our design department, using technology instead of traditional pressed flowers. When you place a Digital Floral order, we will have you upload a photograph of the bouquet we will be recreating, along with photos of any additions, such as invitations, ribbons, or images. Our team will analyze the bouquet photos, listing each visible bloom. We will then go into our vast catalog of digitized flower images and select all the flowers that are present in the bouquet. Our digital designers, just like those working with real flowers, will mindfully and artfully arrange them into a representation of the fresh bouquet, including any additions. The entire image will be printed and framed in any of our framing options, aside from the floating glass backing. Choose from any of our frame sizes or colors, and from a wide variety of backing boards colors!
What Our Clients Think So Far
We have recently sent out our first batch of digital floral frames to some early bird clients, and their reviews are in! Mollie, who was married in 2023, had flowers that wilted swiftly after the wedding. She knew she wanted to preserve the memories through the image of her bouquet, so found our Digital Floral offerings to be just what she was looking for! Her flowers meant a lot to her, she says. She told us, “I personally picked the flowers I wanted in my bouquet for my wedding based on family ties as well as my aesthetic for my wedding. I didn't want ‘cookie cutter’ flowers, so my bouquet was personal and unique to me! Knowing that I have this digital print now, I am so happy that I get to see it on my desk next to me everyday, which reminds me how special that day was.”
Another bride, Amy, was married in 2016, long before she had heard of bouquet preservation. She says, “I regretted not saving my flowers as a keepsake. The digital floral frame seemed like a perfect way to recreate my bouquet! I plan to keep the frame and display it in our home.” For Amy, her digital floral frame represents the most beautiful way to reminisce on that special day she shared with her husband.
