Investing in your flowers
Every commission is personal, and so is the pricing. Because I work with each client individually, from our first conversation through the final design, there is no standard order. What I can share here is how my pricing works and where most commissions fall, so you have a clear starting point before you reach out.
A typical commission starts at $1,000.
What every commission includes
I believe that an investment like flower preservation should be truly museum-worthy. That is why I include materials and techniques that other studios charge extra for.
Museum-quality glass
Anti-reflective, UV-protective glass that shields your flowers from fading and sun damage. This is the same glass used in museums and galleries to protect fine art.
Archival cotton-fiber mat
100% acid-free, cotton-fiber matting in your choice of color. Archival mats prevent deterioration over time, keeping your flowers vibrant for decades rather than years.
Unrivaled frame selection
Your flowers deserve a frame worthy of the art inside it. I offer an unmatched selection of gallery-quality, solid wood frames in a wide range of styles and finishes, from minimalist to richly ornamental, all made to order in the United States.
Gentle color restoration
Over time and through the pressing process, some flowers shift in color. I carefully restore tones so your finished piece reflects the flowers as you remember them. This is a painstaking, bloom-by-bloom process that many studios skip entirely or offer as a paid upgrade.
Single-artist provenance
Your flowers never leave my hands or my studio. When you see the finished work, you will know exactly whose hands created it because I press, design, color-correct, and frame each piece myself.
Pressed flower frames
Custom frames
Custom wooden frames are made to order in your choice of finish and style, and paired with museum-quality glass and an archival cotton-fiber mat.
Most clients choose frames between 12x16" and 20x24", with commissions for these sizes typically falling between $995 and $1,495.
Antique frames
Sometimes the right vessel for your flowers already exists. It just needs to be found. Each antique is one-of-a-kind, so pricing reflects the frame itself as well as the preservation and design work.
Antique frame commissions typically start around $1,195, though the final investment depends on what we source.
Bespoke shapes
Not every bouquet belongs in a rectangle. I offer made-to-order frames in shapes that most preservation studios simply do not: ovals, octagons, triangles, and more.
Bespoke shapes are priced individually based on the style and dimensions you prefer. A 12x16" (artwork size) bespoke frame typically starts at $1,195.
Companion pieces
Functional resin decor
Preserved flowers can live beyond the wall. I design functional trays that bring your flowers into everyday life while still honoring the artistry of the preservation.
Walnut tray (16", locally made) from $995
Resin tray (11x14") from $895
Coasters (set of four) from $395
Ornament (4") from $155
Antique trays are priced individually, typically starting $1,095
Small frames
Many clients add smaller pieces alongside their primary commission, whether as a gift for a parent, a keepsake for a different room, or simply because one frame was not enough.
Small custom frames with museum-quality glass and archival mat:
8x8" from $495
6x6" from $425
Fine jewelry
For something you carry with you. I create pressed-flower jewelry using high-quality sterling silver or 14k gold-fill components, with optional semi-precious gemstones. Each piece holds a small, preserved fragment of your bouquet.
Earrings and pendant necklace set from $395
Pendant necklace from $255
Earrings from $195
Men’s cufflinks from $195
