what to expect

Element Preservation meeting with a client to discuss possible options for their custom bouquet preservation.
1. Initial Peony Consult (Optional)

During your initial consultation, you will meet with Nikole, our Director of External Communications. There, you will discuss your wedding day and all the fun details. 

Next, you will go over the products that were purchased, you'll be able to see via zoom or in person the product itself along with some examples of pressed pieces that match your color palette. 

You will get an in-depth explanation on how to get your flowers to us, whether you are shipping them to our office or scheduling a drop off appointment.

Lastly, you'll get more information about what to expect during the Peony Experience. You'll go over a brief timeline of the order and our strict timeline for proofs and approvals.

2. Peony Design Session

"A design session must be scheduled within 2 months after receiving the email to schedule."

During your design session, you will go over the products that were purchased and share a bit about the event, such as overall aesthetic, color scheme and any day of photos.

You'll get reacquainted with your flowers as they are pressed. This is the BEST part! Our Senior Preservation Specialist will show a view of the flowers all together and get into more detail with each flower variety.

You will go over any design expectations and inspiration based on photos from our website or social.

The session will wrap up with any further questions or requests and go over what the timeline will look like going forward.

Choosing a design style

Burst of Flowers Design

Burst style is our traditional design method for creating pressed artworks. Flowers are pressed on their face, with little to no stem visibility. Your flowers are quite literally designed as if they’re bursting out from the center of the frame to match your bouquet!⁠

Field Style Design

With field style, your wedding flowers find their way back to their natural habitat. Flowers are pressed on both their face and side with stems fully intact to give off the illusion of a blossoming field. This design method offers a more abstract approach to your framed flower preservation. It's like having your own personal flower field!⁠
