About Nikki-Lee Calder Art
It was several years ago, after the death of a close family member, that I first wanted to personally capture a special floral keepsake in resin. This got me thinking and experimenting.
Since then, my passion, knowledge and technical expertise has grown and developed in the area of resin-preserved flowers.
I specialise in wedding and memorial flowers, but am flexible when it comes to other special occasion floral bouquets and keepsakes.
I except flowers from all over Queensland.
After receiving your flowers, drying them, designing 2 or 3 layouts, pouring and curing time, the whole process can take 6 months.
Bookings are best made before you're wedding.
ideally it is best to book your flower preservation when you book your wedding florist. that being said I alway save a space for memorial flowers
Many different items can be added to your keepsakes.
Items such as
fresh or artificial flowers, dried flowers both professionally and air dried, sola flowers, timber ring-boxes, cake toppers, hair accessories, charms, wine corks, coins and even plane tickets.
