Founders of JoanyBow
Hayley (pictured) and Maria (would hate to be pictured) are the award-winning mother and daughter team working with you to create your flower preservation keepsakes. We each have 5 years experience, have worked with hundreds of brides and bereaved families and pride ourselves on our laidback, yet enthusiastic and passionate approach to our art.
​
Over the years we have truly honed our process to ensure we have a business that draws on each of our strengths, creating bespoke pieces you can treasure. You'll spend most, if not all of your time with Hayley, she will deal with bookings, post the content you see, take your flowers in, dry them, communicate with you regarding design ideas and then bring those to life.
​
Maria is the real MVP (most valuable preservationist). Once the designs have been created she will pour all of the resin elements, sand, topcoat and finish your pieces - the ultimate labour of love. Hours, days, weeks of obsessive attention to detail - do not underestimate this critical stage, it's not for the feint hearted! Hayley will then prepare them to head back to you.

We hope you choose us to preserve your memories and would love to hear from you x

Our Story
JoanyBow was our mother/grandmother who passed very suddenly. It was at the funeral that we were gifted a unique and truly special gift of some flowers and lock of her hair preserved in resin. This is where our journey began, learning flower preservation as an art and working with resin as a science. However, it wasn't until 2022 when things really changed for us; after exploring the work of US creators, we began preservation on a larger scale. From our beginnings of making bookmarks as Christmas gifts in heritage shops with stock flowers, we now work exclusively on custom, handmade to order pieces with your sentimental flowers from weddings and funerals. Our skills and design flair is evolving with every design we do and every customer we engage with; we are SO proud of our work and cannot we get to do this as a job!
