Wedding bouquet preservation and custom orders
Pressed flower candles and dried flower bottle candle holders are a perfect, eco-friendly way to preserve and memorialise flowers from your wedding day or another sentimental occasion such as a funeral.
The products below are a more eco-friendly option for preserving flowers as opposed to a lot of floral products that are preserved in blocks of epoxy resin - which unfortunately is not biodegradable. If kept out of direct sunlight and in a warm, dry room, your dried flowers will still be beautiful for many years to come whilst being kinder to the planet!

So what next?
If you are interested in preserving your flowers with JoCo Candles, please get in touch by emailing jo@jococandles.co.uk as soon as possible after your wedding/event with a few pictures of your flowers and the product you’re interested in so I can advise if they will work.
If you would like to book flower preservation before your wedding/event to guarantee availability, get in touch with a detailed list from your florist of the flowers you will be having. If the flowers will work, you will be required to pay a small deposit which will then be taken off your order. As above, please then get in touch after your wedding/event with pictures so I can confirm which flowers will work best.
Once confirmed that your flowers will be suitable for pressing or drying, you will be sent a link to place your order.
Fresh flowers will then need to sent as soon as possible so they start the drying process when they’re still in good condition. Or if you are choosing to dry the flowers yourself, you will send your flowers after a few weeks once they have fully dried.
If you have any further questions, just get in touch.
Please note that the turnaround time for these products is a minimum of 4 weeks.
Pressed flower scented candles
There are various sizes available for custom pressed flower candles, these are a great option to give to friends and family as a memento gift after your wedding day. You can also choose to engrave a hidden message or date of your choice on the underside of the wooden lid.
Prices start from £20. Please get in touch with pictures of your flowers before placing an order.
Dried flower bottle candle holders
Rather than pressed, your wedding flowers will be dried and displayed in a beautiful glass bottle featuring a JoCo logo on the front.
Each bottle comes with a bespoke metal candle holder handmade in Warwickshire in either gold or copper and a tapered dinner candle (colour may vary).
Alternatively, if you want to personalise the bottle, you can choose an engraved cork with your initials/and or wedding date on instead and have your bottle as a simpler display piece rather than as a candle.
Prices start from £25. Please get in touch with pictures of your flowers before placing an order.
Wedding favours
Pressed flower scented candles are a great wedding favour to give to your guests on your special day. These votice (9cl) candle favours can be coordinated with your colour theme and you can engrave your names and wedding date on the underside of the lid to make them an extra special memento for your friends and family.
Pricing starts from £6 per candle. Please get in touch before placing an order to check timescales for your wedding date.
Production time can vary depending on the types of flowers (some take longer to dry than others). The turnaround time from the order date is usually a minimum of four weeks depending on demand (this is often shorter if flowers are sent already pressed/dried).
