Lara Jayne Design specialises in flower preservation, and everything she creates is done so from her home studio. The flowers are dried and stored until the resin is due to begin, then Lara completes a design process using your bouquet and wedding flowers as a guide. Resin is then used to encase the flowers and/or other sentimental items like charms, pins or ribbon, and by using this method you get to keep the richness of your original flowers forever.
