Wedding Bouquet Preservation
Have been asked a couple of times recently about preserving wedding bouquets used to use another local florist but she's retired now does anyone use any of the national services like Precious Petals that you see in the back of wedding mags or can you recommend anyone?

We normally recommend Precious Petals, www.preciouspetals.co.uk - they give commission, not sure if this is the one Sarah mentioned? Might be.

Oh I just noticed that's who you mentioned - we've had three or four brides use them and have had no probs.

Probably Precious Petals..They are 1/2 mile from our shop and Yes they give you 10% commission if you get your bride to save her flowers. Its an easy way of making extra money for doing nothing. PP moved into brand new premises about 14 months ago and now reside in Cauffaude Lane Bramley Nr Basingstoke Hants Tel: 01256 882422

I am happy to possess £30 worth of marks and sparks vouchers courtesy of precious petal. Commission from one of my brides bouquets that they preserved and framed. (Wish the bouquet had cost as much as the preserving of it lol) They sent me their cards which I give out to all of my brides now (I need some more m&s socks - well it gets cold in winter in my shop) I know my bride who had the framed bouquet made is very happy with it so I am happy to recommend them.

Oh do they send out vouchers now then? We hardly get anyone enquiring about preserving bouquets these days actually, think the last one was probably about 3 or 4 years ago.
