MEMORY SCARVES AND CUSHIONS
Can you believe that it is possible to have the flowers and foliage from any occasion preserved onto silk as a forever keepsake? We are getting asked more and more about creating our silk scarves using floral tribute flowers from a loved one’s funeral.
We don’t need many flowers to create your unique scarf, just a few stems of each variety along with some foliage is enough. The funeral directors will do this for you.
Our customers come from all over the UK. Simply pop the flowers into a recycled box and post with Royal Mail using their ‘special delivery service’ for next day delivery.
We are so pleased to be adding silk memory cushions as another way to save your special flowers. Once we have used your flowers to dye the English silk we embroider a few flowers and leaves, sew the zipped cushion and hand embroider the edge.
We can get up to three cushion out of one bouquet and we are happy to discuss other options with you.
You can choose either 100% silk or Bamboo silk on the order page. All our cushions are filled with recycled plastic bottle fibre but we are happy to use feathers if you would prefer.
If you live locally in the York area we are happy to collect the flowers from you or the funeral directors.
Our customers always say how close and comforting it feels wearing a scarf made with the flowers from their loved one’s celebration of life ceremony.
All of the colours, shapes and patterns produced, come only from the flowers and foliage. It is a totally eco-friendly process.
It may be helpful to know that we do not need your flowers to be fresh. We can successfully dye with the flower’s even if they are wilting or beginning to dry. Don’t despair if your flowers look past their best and you think it’s too late, it probably isn’t. If you are in doubt please send us a photo.
