There’s something incredibly moving about working with dried flowers that have been kept for years, especially here in Carmarthenshire, where so many people treasure the stories held in their bouquets. They arrive wrapped in tissue, carrying the quiet weight of a moment someone wanted to hold onto — a wedding day, a celebration, a goodbye, a beginning. But time changes them. Colours fade, petals bruise, and the bouquet that once felt full of life can look tired or uneven.
Recently, I received a set of home‑dried wedding flowers from a bride in West Wales who had kept them safe for several years. When I opened the parcel, I could see the love in the way she’d preserved them, but also the natural fading that happens with age. I gently offered to bring a little colour back into them, and she agreed.
What followed was hours of careful work: lifting the blues back into the delphiniums, warming the yellows, softening the browns, and restoring the gentle tones that once made her bouquet feel alive. It wasn’t about making them look “new” — it was about honouring what they were, and helping their story shine through again.
When I placed the restored flowers into the resin frame, something shifted. The whole piece felt brighter, more balanced, more like the memory she wanted to keep. And that’s when I realised how important colour restoration for dried flowers truly is — especially for people looking for wedding bouquet preservation in Carmarthenshire, Llandeilo, and across Wales.

🌼 Why Colour Restoration Matters
It respects the original bouquet
My approach to dried flower colour correction is gentle and intuitive. I don’t repaint or redesign — I revive what’s already there.
It enhances resin preservation pieces
Resin magnifies every detail. A little colour correction can make the final wedding bouquet preservation feel intentional, harmonious, and true to the memory.
It honours the emotional weight of the flowers
These aren’t just petals. They’re moments, people, promises, and stories. Restoring their colour is a way of honouring the love behind them.
It gives older bouquets a second life
Even flowers dried years ago can be transformed into something luminous. This makes resin flower preservation in Wales possible even long after the event.

🌿 A Gentle, Hand‑Painted Process
Every restoration is done slowly and carefully. I work petal by petal, using artist‑quality pigments to enhance what remains rather than overwrite it. The goal is always the same: to help your flowers feel like themselves again.
This service is ideal for:
• Wedding bouquets dried at home
• Older bouquets with faded or browned petals
• Memorial flowers kept for remembrance
• Blooms being prepared for resin keepsakes
• Anyone in Carmarthenshire, Llandeilo, or West Wales looking for “flower preservation near me”
