Preservation

The slow work.

Three-dimensional botanical preservation. The bloom stays whole.

Before you enquire

Preservation is not a product. It's a practice.

Three-dimensional botanical preservation. The bloom stays whole.

Robin has been preserving flowers for years. It is precise, climate-sensitive work that requires careful monitoring and time. A lot of time. It happens in the evenings and on weekends, when conditions and season allow. It cannot be done in summer. It cannot be rushed. It cannot fit around your timeline.

A completed preservation piece carries an estimated turnaround of up to 12 months from the date of acceptance. Clients are asked not to follow up before that time has passed — the work is underway, and it takes as long as it takes. Robin selects the projects she takes on personally. She says no more often than she says yes. Preference is given to her own brides. If your enquiry is accepted, you will hear from the studio directly. If that sounds like more patience than you have — this isn't the right fit. If you understand that the best things take time — read on.

Enquire about preservation

Preservation commissions are taken on by selection. Fill in what you know — Robin will be in touch if it's a good fit.

Robin selects preservation projects personally. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance. Robin takes on fewer preservation commissions than she declines.

Seasonal availability only. Preservation is not offered year-round. If your enquiry falls outside the current intake window, Robin will let you know.

Turnaround is up to 12 months. Preservation is a slow process. Please do not enquire if you need the piece by a specific short deadline.
