SIÓG Botanicals

Founded in 2021 by fine artists Lorna Frawley and Joanna Brien, SIÓG Botanicals is Ireland’s premier botanical studio. Trusted by over 3,000 couples, we blend traditional pressing with archival science. Proudly chosen by Kilkenny Design and following a residency at Kildare Village, we love bringing our contemporary Irish botanical art to the national stage with features on Ireland AM, The Late Late Show Business Special, and in The Irish Times.

Your wedding flowers shouldn't fade away. We turn your bouquet into museum-grade wall art and luxury keepsake jewellery, capturing your day's romance and colour forever.

Why Choose SIÓG Botanicals?

• Our 20-Year Archival Guarantee: We want you to feel completely confident leaving your precious flowers in our hands. We are the only studio in Ireland to back our work with a 20-year guarantee against structural decay and mould.
• Our Dath-Buan Colour Stabilisation: Naturally, untreated pressed flowers will fade to a vintage yellowish-beige over time. To prevent this, we offer an advanced colour enhancement upgrade that locks in your bouquet's original, rich pigments, keeping your blooms bright and beautiful for decades.
• The 5-Month Archival Timeline: Beautiful art takes time. Our 5-month turnaround is a vital part of our process, allowing your flowers to go through a careful multi-week dehydration, molecular stabilization, and professional archival sealing. We don’t just dry flowers—we create family heirlooms built to last.
• Choose Between 3D or Flat-Pressed Styles: We offer both contemporary flat-pressed frames and stunning, dimensional 3D landscape shadowboxes. Best of all, there’s no pressure to choose your style when booking—lock in your date now, and decide what layout you love best after the wedding.
• Exclusive Wearable Art (Bespoke Jewellery): Carry a piece of your day with you always. We can cast fragments of your actual wedding petals into crystal-clear, UV-resistant resin, beautifully set in Sterling Silver or 18K Gold Vermeil. It’s a gorgeous standalone memento, and makes a deeply thoughtful thank-you gift for mothers of the bride and bridesmaids.
• A Relaxed, Helpful Experience: Take the guesswork out of the process. You can easily track your bouquet’s journey through our online client portal, and you’ll get full digital layout approval before your solid wood frame is permanently sealed.

The Process: Securing Your Date

• To ensure every single bouquet gets the dedicated time and artistic care it deserves, our Kildare studio works strictly by calendar reservation.
• Reserve: Secure your wedding date in our studio calendar ahead of time.
• Deliver: Hand-drop your fresh bouquet to our Kildare studio (just off the M7/M9) or use our easy overnight postal guide the Monday after your wedding.
• Design & Consult: Once we have your flowers, the fun begins. This is when you choose between a 3D or flat-pressed frame, pick your style (Natural Vintage Aging or premium Dath-Buan Colour Stabilisation), and add any keepsake necklaces or miniature frames for family.
• Approve: We will send you a digital preview of your artwork so you can tweak the layout or sign off on the design.
• Collect: Receive your completed pieces, ready to be hung proudly on your wall or worn close to your heart.

Studio & Investment Details

• The Investment: Framing options range from €375 to €1,420 depending on frame size and choice of custom archival materials. Standalone or add-on keepsake jewellery options are available.
• Global Shipping: We accept fresh bouquets from anywhere within the EU, and we safely ship finished artwork and jewellery to private collections all over the world (including the UK, USA, and Australia).
