Refinery Floral: Flower Preservation

Refinery Floral is an Englewood-area flower preservation studio, led by Deanne, that transforms wedding bouquets into framed floral artwork using a combination of modern and traditional preservation methods. Refinery Floral presses, recolors, illustrates, and seals flowers for color retention, then arranges them in shadow boxes using archival methods; optional framing includes museum-quality, anti-glare glass with UV protection. They also offer heirloom gifts such as preserved flowers in jewelry, glass terrariums, bell jars, and mini frames, as well as fully custom design projects. Deanne brings a background of 10 years as a professional freelance painter and sculptor to her floral preservation work. The studio accepts drop-offs in Littleton, CO, offers on-site pickup for a fee, accepts shipped bouquets, and can recreate bouquets remotely for clients who cannot ship flowers. Reviewers highlight the collaborative design process, strong communication, color vibrancy of finished pieces, and willingness to work within budgets; several note the turnaround requires patience but describe the final artwork as worth the wait.
