About The Wildflower Press

Professional wedding flower pressing and preservation, available throughout the UK… Weddings, funerals, and flowers from any occasion - transforming flowers into beautiful botanical art you'll cherish for a lifetime! I specialise in creating intricate linear pressed flower designs, combining contrasting colours, textures and details. Each piece of flower preservation art is individually designed to capture the character and beauty of your flowers, creating a natural, organic piece of art.

With over 20 years of experience as a florist, I have extensive knowledge of handling and caring for flowers. This expertise is especially important when it comes to flower pressing and preservation, helping me understand how different flowers need to be prepared before being pressed and preserved...

From The Owner

Clair Lythgoe - Wedding bouquet preservation artist UK

CLAIR LYTHGOE

Artist and owner of The Wildflower Press

Hi I'm Clair... I’ve been a florist for over 25 years, running my own wedding flower business for 10 of those, so I think its fair to say I know a thing or two about flowers… I launched The Wildflower Press during lock down, pressing flowers foraged on my one hours daily walk, hence the the name... I made the very hard decision to give up my award winning wedding flower business to peruse being an artist and here I am! The happiest I've ever been and never looked back :)
