What types of flowers can be used for pressed flower art?

We primarily use locally sourced Irish flowers and Irish wildflowers in our creations, but we can also work with flowers from personal occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, or funerals. If you have specific flowers you’d like to preserve, feel free to contact us to discuss your options.

How long does the preservation process take?

The preservation process usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the type of flowers being used. We take great care to ensure the flowers are pressed and framed perfectly, so we appreciate your patience during this process.

Can I personalise my pressed flower frame?

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of customisation options, including different frame sizes, shapes, and styles. You can also choose to add personal details such as names, dates, or a short message, making your framed flowers a unique keepsake.

How are the flowers preserved?

We use a combination of traditional pressing techniques and modern methods to ensure the flowers retain their shape, colour, and beauty for years to come. Each flower is carefully pressed by hand, and we use acid-free materials to prevent any discolouration or deterioration over time.

At The Flower Bandits, we understand the emotional weight these flowers carry. We offer a professional preservation service that transforms these delicate blooms into lasting keepsakes. We can preserve a single rose or a full bouquet, and each flower is handled with the utmost care.

We can press memorial flowers into the most beautiful jewellery, frames, bookmarks, candle holders, and much more. Take a look at our shop where we have pressed our own locally sourced flowers for ideas as to how best to preserve your loved ones funeral flowers.

How long does the flower preservation process take?

The process typically takes between 12-14 weeks, depending on the complexity of the arrangement and the selected package.

We carefully press the flowers to ensure they retain their natural beauty, and this process requires patience and precision.
Can I use flowers from any type of bouquet for preservation?

Yes, we can preserve flowers from a variety of bouquets, including funeral arrangements. Some flowers preserve better than others, and our team can advise you on the best options for preservation. It is important to get the flowers to us as soon as possible to ensure the best results.
Can I add personalisation to my preserved flowers?
