Lydia Florence

Turning nature into art, one flower at a time. Herbariums and gifts. Handmade in Surrey.

Welcome to Lydia Florence! I create original handmade herbarium pages and gifts with real pressed plants - each one is unique. I also run a UK wedding bouquet preservation service. Find out more at lydiaflorenceflowers.com.

My pieces are made from carefully selected specimens found in Surrey’s natural flora, which are then pressed and mounted onto hand-stained paper and mount board. Special attention has been given to every piece, along with a lot of joy and hard work. Each herbarium page is labelled in the traditional manner that has been carried out within herbariums for hundreds of years. They state the plant's scientific name, location of collection, date of collection and name of collector.

I hope you enjoy seeing these in your home as much as I do making them!
