Understand our concept
How are made your creations?
We design refined pieces exclusively in natural flowers that last over time. We handmade them to order. Each creation, made with care by hand in our workshop, is therefore unique!
Therefore, the photos appearing on the site may show slight differences with the product you will receive. However, we make sure that all our models are made as close as possible to the article presented on our site.
How do you get sustainable natural flowers?
Our natural flowers, grasses and foliage have been dried, preserved or freeze-dried to retain their delicate beauty.
- The preserved process consists of replacing the sap and water of the freshly cut plants with a solution based on vegetable glycerin. This 100% natural stabilizing liquid helps stop the aging process to create a static image of nature. This method has been around for a long time, but its technology has improved significantly over the past 20 years. Very popular for years in Asian countries, stabilized plants are now experiencing strong development, a legitimate craze motivated by the ecological quest for nature and sustainability.
- The drying process involves picking plants at their full maturity before they wither to dehydrate them naturally. Drying is an ancient 100% natural traditional technique that keeps plants in a stable state for many years.
- The freeze-drying technique involves freezing the flowers to then extract all the moisture. This completely natural process stops the aging process and maintains the aesthetics, structure and original colors of the flowers for many years.
What is the difference between dried, preserved and freeze-dried flowers?
- Preserved flowers are picked at the height of their beauty. Thanks to the eco-technique of stabilization, they retain their original suppleness and shine for years to look like fresh flowers. We have a large variety of preserved foliage, flowers and flowering branches that we expand each year with new species to constantly offer you new and modern creations.
- Long considered old-fashioned and obsolete with the image of our grandmothers keeping their bridal bouquets under glass globes, dried flowers are reinventing themselves and opening up their deliciously poetic bohemian universe with their soft and powdery hues. Unlike preserved flowers, dried flowers lose their natural flexibility and are more brittle. As a result, it is common to find a few petals and small items at the bottom of the box when receiving your dried flower bouquets. This phenomenon is completely normal and in no way detracts from the beauty of our creations.
- Freeze-dried flowers, less known than the previous two categories, are growing in popularity due to their ease of use. This totally ecological process guarantees the firmness of the flowers, which favors their integration into floral arrangements with an appearance very similar to fresh flowers.
Why choose sustainable flowers?
We live in a pivotal time with an increasingly widespread awareness aimed at preserving the natural resources of our Earth. Adopting sustainable flowers in our interior decoration is part of an eco-responsible approach. Simple and authentic, dried or stabilized flowers are the trendy decorative touch! A real return to nature in a way of life that is more respectful of our environment.
Are preserved flowers more expensive than fresh flowers?
Preserved flowers require specific treatment and care which of course increases their cost price. However, because of their longevity, they are ultimately products that have an excellent quality / price ratio. This is the main reason why many accommodation and catering professionals are now turning to preserved flowers to elegantly decorate their reception areas. A definite economic advantage in favor of stabilized flowers compared to fresh flowers, for an identical rendering.
Y a-t-il des conseils spécifiques de conservation ?
Our creations must be used indoors in a warm and dry place. To keep them as long as possible, they should be kept away from humidity and away from all direct sources of heat (sun, heating, fireplace, stove, etc.). Direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause some flowers to fade. No watering of course, our flowers do not require any maintenance. To limit dust, a simple passage of the feather duster or a hair dryer in the cold position is sufficient.

- Ideal on loose hair, our flower crowns adapt perfectly to your head size thanks to their ribbons to tie at the back. Very comfortable to wear, they bring a bohemian and feminine touch to all hairstyles, even on short hair.

Can I wear a veil with a flowered accessory in my hair?
If you want to wear the traditional bridal veil, it is quite possible to add one of our floral headdresses. You will thus keep a bohemian and romantic spirit even when you take off your veil!
Depending on the accessory and the hairstyle you choose, you can wear it over or under the veil. However, care must be taken that the veil does not crush the flowers, especially if it is very long and therefore very heavy. In this case, it is better to leave the veil underneath the most delicate accessories such as comb or crown.
How should I handle my headdress so as not to damage it?
Our preserved or dried flowers and foliage are natural plants, all different and unique, as nature has shaped them. Unlike artificial flowers and foliage, they retain the fragility of fresh flowers, and, like them, should be treated with care and attention to delicate things.
You will take care never to catch them by the petals, not to pull or crush the flowers (the foliage is less fragile).
Regarding your hair accessories, you will inform your hairdresser of their fragility so that he handles them with care, holding them by their metal base to put them in place in your hair (hairdressers are often used to artificial flowers which are very resistant). You will also ask him to apply lacquer or any other product before fitting the floral accessories to avoid damaging them.
Last recommendation and not the least: be sure to protect your bouquet and accessories in the event of rain.
Can I use my accessories during the various fittings?
Your accessories are the final touch of your outfit, the flowery detail that will personalize your dress and assert your style. It is therefore important that they are in harmony with your dress and your hairstyle. If you want to bring them during your fittings to have a complete view of your toilet, however, we recommend that you avoid removing them unnecessarily from their case because, through experience with our customers, it sometimes happens that some people who are not very meticulous. inadvertently damage.
Likewise, if you want to show your hairdresser the accessory that he must integrate into your hairstyle, we do not recommend that you fix it in your hair to avoid unnecessary manipulations that could damage your precious headdress.
