PERTH-BASED
TURNING BOUQUETS INTO BEAUTIFUL KEEPSAKES
WHAT IS FLORAL PRESSING?
Did you ever watch your Grandma or your Mother, pick flowers from the garden and then put them in between pages of books? Well, that’s basically how flower pressing started. Here at The Dainty Co. we’re carrying the tradition on - but with our own cute creative and modern flair.
Using presses rather than books, we take the petals from your bouquet (or any bunch of flowers you wish to preserve) and sandwich them between cardboard and paper so they can flatten and dry out..
After a minimum of four weeks in the press, we take the petals out and do little happy dances as we uncover the fun surprise of seeing how your flowers went. From there, we arrange the petals into unique displays of art. These are then set between two panes of glass (the top one UV-protective) and then framed into WA made beautiful frames.
The end result? A one-of-a-kind memory of your special day, to hang in your home and have with you for life.

Hi, I'm Krissy
Thank you for stopping by! I am Krissy, and my loves are my friends, my dogs (Winston and Nora), wine, gin, KFC, weddings and of course FLOWERS!
I am that girl who always has flowers in her house, and who loves to give them, as well as receive them. From that love of flowers also came a love of making them last as long as possible, always saddened when they wilt and have to be thrown away.
Naturally, from this, pressing flowers to keep them longer became a passion. In my other passion career, where I work as a marriage celebrant, I noticed myself having lots of conversations with couples who were upset about the fact that their gorgeous flowers were just left to die after the wedding. Especially if they were leaving for holidays straight away, often their blooms went to such a beautiful waste.
​
From here I put my love of all thing's weddings, and my love of flowers, together and created The Dainty Co. Now I have the absolute honour of being able to preserve the memories of your beautiful wedding bouquets and make them into stunning artwork that you will have in your home for years and years to come!
I can not wait to create magic for you!
