How to send your flowers to Lizzy

You will need to:

  • Cut fresh ends of the flowers after the event

  • Next give the flowers a good drink (this will rehydrate them, as they will have been without water for most of the wedding day and it will help keep them fresh in the post)

  • Choose a small selection of flowers and any greenery (you do not need to send the whole bouquet, just enough flowers for all the pieces that you would like made up).

  • Pack the flowers by wrapping the freshly cut ends in damp kitchen paper, then packing them with further tissue paper/further kitchen roll in a box to protect the flowers.

  • DON’T FORGET TO PUT YOUR NAME and CONTACT DETAILS in the box (I get more than one order a week and I would hate to not know who has sent me their flowers).

  • Send it first class to my address, (If possible, drop me an email to let me know it’s on its way) the best days to send your flowers are straight after the event, however avoid posting your flowers over the weekend where possible.

  • OR you can book them in to drop them off at my studio in HA9, closest stations are Preston Road (Metropolitan Line 15-20 mins walk) or South Kenton (Bakerloo Line (5-10 mins walk).

Q&A

  • A. You can pop the flowers with freshly cut ends in water and store them in the fridge, this will preserve them for a little bit until you can get them in the post to me.

  • A. At the moment I can’t take flowers from overseas, but you could take some silica gel with you and some air tight containers to put a few of your favourite flowers in to preserve them. Then bring the flowers back with you and post them to me on your return.

  • A deposit is taken for bookings in advance to ensure that you have got a spot for the flowers to be dried, please get in touch for last minute flower preservations, as my diary varies from week to week. You will pay half of the balance when the flowers arrive and the remaining half is paid before the flowers are posted out.

    Direct bank transfers are preferred however just ask for a website listing where you can use your credit card.

  • A. I have had other clients that have bought the flower preservation as a gift or as a surprise after the event, it is a really lovely and meaningful gift.

    You can either have a gift voucher that you give before the big day, for example if work have had a collection, or you can work with the bridal party so that they know about the gift and take charge of the flowers at the end of the day and send them to me, so they don’t have to worry.

    But what if it is a surprise??? Then you will be taking flowers in secrete without the bride knowing…this requires a little bit of cunning, I won’t say anything if you don’t. You only need a few flowers to make a necklace. Please feel free to get in touch if you want to know more.

  • A. The process can take between 3 – 12 weeks depending on flower drying times, how many pieces you want, hallmarking and casting lead times. If it is time urgent let me know and I will see what I can do for you.
