Botanical Memory Keepsakes in York
Established in 1993, Fiona Hogg has evolved from a traditional flower shop to a specialist in preserving floral memories. Our journey began with a passion for floristry, and in 2008, we expanded our expertise to focus on weddings and events. In 2020, we pioneered a unique botanical dyeing process to transform flowers into lasting keepsakes. Today, we offer bespoke silk, vegan silk, and cashmere scarves, as well as framed art, crafted from flowers from weddings, funerals, and special occasions. Our team combines decades of experience with an eco-friendly approach, ensuring each piece reflects the emotional significance of the original blooms.We pride ourselves on innovation, sustainability, and the ability to turn fleeting moments into treasured heirlooms. Our clients benefit from a personalised service, guided by our deep understanding of floral preservation techniques and a commitment to quality. This dedication has allowed us to serve both local and national customers, creating meaningful connections through our artistry.
