We would encourage you to book in as soon as you can, and add your event date to your order. This helps us to schedule your bouquet drop-off in and provide you with the best possible service. Book in to secure your date here.

Not sure what to choose yet? That’s totally fine! You can book with a €250 deposit, this secures your date and just let us know what option you'd like to go with when dropping off or shipping your bouquet.

If you think might like a larger format piece, or any add-ons, just remember to bring some extra flowers, like a bridesmaid bouquet, to make it possible.

Drop-off: You can bring the flowers to us at our studio, which is located at SIÓG Botanicals, Unit 1, Crookstown Business Park, Ballitore, Co. Kildare, Ireland, R14ND91. We’d love to meet you and discuss your vision for your preserved flowers! Booking an appointment is easy – simply select a date and time that works for you on our drop-off appointment page.

Ship: Ship them to us via An Post - Express Post or courier. We accept bouquets from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the European Union.

We recommend getting the flowers to us as soon as you can to yield the best results possible and to keep them as cool as possible until you can get them to us. 

Please see more information on caring for the bouquet until it reaches us & how to pack it for shipping here.

Final Steps – Collection or Shipping

 8. Preparing for Collection or Shipping

• If shipping: You’ll receive a DPD tracking number once your order is dispatched.
• If collecting: Schedule a collection time with us here.

 9. Shipped/Collected
Your artwork is now with you! Care instructions are included to help you preserve it for years to come. If you have any questions, we’re always happy to help.

There are so many variables to the process like bloom type, condition on arrival, drying method etc that’s it’s difficult to give an exact timeframe. Usually we find that the turnaround time is approximately 4-5 months.

No, we preserve and mount all types of occasion and memorial bouquets and have also done some pieces that our clients held special to them. If you have something special in mind, fill in our contact form or pop us an email, we’d be happy to discuss your ideas.

We preserve flowers in either a 3D or pressed flower art style - all solid wood frames with traditional glass and made in Ireland. If you have something else in mind that you would like just contact us and we will accommodate where we can. 

The cost of preservation, artwork and framing starts at €400 (selection from wedding) and goes up to €840 (larger formats - multiple bouquets), depending on the number of flowers to preserve and the size of frame chosen. 

While some preservation artists won’t accept all-white bouquets, our aim is to provide our clients with a timeless piece of art for their home, including brides with an all-white bouquet. While we do prefer to work with colourful bouquets, it is not a requirement to work with us. These are the things to be aware of if you choose to preserve your all-white bouquet with us.

Inevitably there will be some colour change once all moisture is removed from the flower and they are no longer fresh, but dried. Some flowers retain their vibrant colours, other fade and some even change colour completely! For example, white lisianthus will turn yellow, red roses will naturally turn a deeper shade, to a more burgundy red. 

It is normal that over time that blooms will fade or discolour. Blooms will change during the preservation process and will continue to fade over time.  This is the beauty of it all - the natural and original value of your bouquet to keep forever.

However if you would prefer for us to colour correct so your artwork retains its colour vibrancy over time, you can request this at no extra cost.

You can add in any details for special requests as note on your booking or send us an email to hello@siogbotanicals.ie

We will dry every part of your bouquet and will use the blooms that preserved the best to create your piece. 

We use several methods to dry your flowers, ranging from our very own luxury flower presses to carefully press individual blooms or petals to hanging foliage on one of our custom made racks to using a specialised sand to keep the structural integrity of the blooms. With over 10 years experience and 7 different methods of preservation depending on each flower, we have perfected our skill and technique to ensure you can count on professional preservation of your special flowers.

International shipping of completed artwork is available to anywhere in Europe, the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Canada.

If you have any specific questions on our shipping policies, please do not hesitate to contact us or leave a note on your order.
