Flora and the Sun Flower Preservation in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district is a women-owned studio that presses and preserves wedding bouquets into custom-framed botanical artwork and epoxy-resin keepsakes from a home workshop on Sandcastle Drive. The preservation process begins within four to five days of an event, with each stem pressed for four to eight weeks before composition, replicating the same post-ceremony timeline that floral designers like Floral Design by Ari build into their bridal service packages. Founded in 2017 as a pressed-flower jewelry line, the studio expanded in 2020 when a woodworker partner joined to handcraft custom maple and walnut frames on-site. Product categories include large-format wall frames, diptych and triptych compositions, gold-leaf epoxy-resin serving trays, resin coasters, ring dishes, and pressed-flower pendants and earrings. The resin jewelry line transforms individual blooms from a client's bouquet into wearable pieces, a botanical-to-adornment craft that parallels the artisan metalwork at jewelers like Olea Fine Jewelry on the Encinitas design corridor. Highest-complexity commissions involve multi-frame triptych installations combining pressed bridal bouquets, groom's boutonnieres, and Hawaiian lei florals in matched hardwood frames with museum-grade UV-resistant glass.
