Memory Blooms & Life Milestones
Flowers marks life’s most meaningful moments, but their beauty is often fleeting. Botanical relief casting freezes those precious memories in time—transforming sentimental blooms into permanent fine art. Whether honoring a loved one, celebrating a new beginning, or preserving a personal milestone, turn your flowers into a luxury heirloom you can touch, see, and cherish forever.
Your Memories, Cast in Time
Fresh flowers last a few days; botanical art lasts a lifetime. Sentimental florals from life's special occasions are preserved into custom mineral relief casts, capturing every detail of a cherished memory.
Ideas to inspire your custom artwork:
Births, Baby Showers & Birthdays: Baby shower arrangements, birth month flowers, hospital bouquets, and new baby celebrations.
Memorials & Tributes: Sympathy florals, funeral arrangements, or a loved one’s favorite bloom.
Life Milestones: Anniversaries, graduations, retirements, and housewarming gifts.
Everyday Keepsakes: Wildflowers picked with family or special blooms from your personal garden.
Custom Commissions (No flowers needed): We can hand-select fresh seasonal blooms or official birth month flowers to create a bespoke piece for your home or to gift.
Handmade plaster casts designed to preserve your most cherished blooms forever. Each piece featured is an original artwork, shown to help you visualize dimensions and layout for your custom creation.
How It Works
Because every piece is uniquely handcrafted, reserving your date or scheduling prompt flower delivery is essential.
Here is an overview of our booking and creation process:
Select your preferred artwork size (framed or unframed) from our boutique and complete the request form. Use the dropdown menu to reserve your piece with either a 50% deposit or full payment (100%). Once your request is submitted, we will review your details and send a confirmation email.

FAQs
-
We recommend ordering as early as possible by selecting your piece in our Boutique and submitting your event date in the form, as we only accept a limited number of bridal bouquets per week. Ideally, place your order 3 to 6 months before your wedding. For last-minute requests, please contact us directly to check studio availability.
-
For optimal preservation, your flowers must arrive within 1 to 3 days post-event—either hand-delivered to our Chelsea studio by you or a loved one, or sent via express courier. Detailed packaging and delivery instructions will be provided upon booking confirmation to ensure your blooms arrive in prime condition.
-
No, not necessarily. While most clients prefer using meaningful stems directly from a service, we can also recreate a tribute piece using fresh blooms ordered directly from a florist based on the specific flower varieties you wish to honor.
-
Flowers are not included in the listed price, as our pricing covers the preservation process, custom materials, and hand-poured artistry. Most clients send us their own fresh blooms from a special event. However, if you don't have a bouquet, please reach out to us—we would be happy to source fresh botanicals for your piece for an additional fee.
-
Every flower holds meaning, regardless of quantity. We can craft beautiful, minimalist relief pieces centered around a single bloom, or combine a few stems with subtle accent botanicals from our studio to create a balanced piece.
-
Our signature mineral casting process relies on fresh botanicals to leave deep, 3D impressions in the mold. While fresh flowers give the most crisp and detailed result, please reach out to us directly if you have dried flowers so we can assess their condition and discuss custom options.
-
No. We create a permanent 3D mineral relief impression. Your natural flowers are pressed into a custom mold to record their organic texture and form. Fine plaster is then hand-poured into the impression. Once set, the organic material is removed, leaving a lasting, sculptural stone-like relief.
-
Flowers used in the molding process lose their freshness and cannot be returned. If there are specific sentimental stems you wish to keep intact at home, please set them aside before delivering the bouquet to us.
-
Select your piece in our Boutique and complete the form. An initial payment of 50% or 100% is required at checkout to reserve your date. For orders placed with a 50% deposit, the remaining balance is due upon flower drop-off (except for guest favor orders of 50 units or more, where the final balance is required 60 days prior to the event). Deposits become non-refundable within 30 days of the scheduled event.
-
Each piece is individually hand-poured using natural mineral plaster. Subtle variations in shade, small air bubbles, and natural surface character are an expected part of the artisanal process, making your memory bloom truly unique.
-
Display your artwork indoors away from direct moisture, high humidity, or outdoor elements. To clean, simply dust the detailed surface gently using a soft, dry paintbrush or microfiber cloth. Avoid water or liquid cleaning sprays.
-
Cancellations made more than 3 months prior to your event date are fully refundable. Within 3 months of the event, the amount paid becomes non-refundable; however, it will be issued as a store credit valid in our Boutique toward workshops or ready-to-ship items.
