Which style should I choose according to my bouquet?
I adapt all creations according to your choices. Take the style you prefer or give me carte blanche.
In general what works best in styles:
SYMMETRY :
- if you have few varieties of flowers in your bouquet.
- if you like the clean style and the “symmetry” design.
FLOWER CROWN:
- a style that goes everywhere :) the best is to have at least 3 varieties of flowers and different flower sizes.
- If you have a bohemian side, the flower crown will have its effect.
FIELD OF FLOWERS :
- if you have several small flowers on stems, flowers of different sizes, dried flowers.
- If you like the rustic effect, this style is for you. This style is possible in landscape format: "fluffy flower field". Recommended size A3.
- Not suitable if you only have one variety of flowers.
BOUQUET OF FLOWERS :
- If you have a large bouquet, this style allows for plenty of flowers to create.
- Recommended size A2.
Not suitable if you only have one variety of flowers.
Can we validate the creation before sending it?
Unfortunately no 🥹 we have a lot of customers and adding this step will delay our creation process.

What happens if my bouquet arrives wilted/is lost?
If you have not used one of our protection kits, we will contact you to propose replacement solutions with Normandy florists. The bouquet will be pressed as best as possible with usable flowers. You are responsible for the condition of the bouquet.
Using the protection kit allows you to limit damage during transport and to preserve the bouquet as best as possible during the wedding weekend.

How long does the herbarium last?
A whole life ♾️
The bouquet will not fade, will not gather dust, the flowers will not become brittle and above all it will not end up in the trash.
The shapes of the flowers will remain intact in the frame. Your herbarium will easily find a place in your home.
The colors will lighten over time, recalling the natural character of the flowers.
Preserve colors longer by avoiding direct light and humid rooms.
Can all flowers be pressed?
Using the press allows the flowers to be flattened and the colours to be preserved by removing moisture.
The thicker the flowers, the more difficult it is to remove moisture and the result will be more brown. (white arum, lilies, orchids, ...)
So the answer is, yes, you can put any flower under the press, the result will just be different. We are used to pressing several types of flowers: roses, peonies, dahlias, eucalyptus, hydrangeas, sunflowers, thistles, ...
A page of our blog will be dedicated to the results of certain flowers :)
Which flowers to choose for a herbarium?
You can check our Instagram page to see the different results depending on the flowers.
We are preparing a blog to show you the before/after results of the different bouquets.
Can unused flowers be returned?
No, because we only select the most beautiful flowers and the flowers that interest us for the creation of your timeless work.
