I am SO pleased with how my frame turned out and it looks even better in real life than it did on the photos Mariah sent. The box and packaging it arrived in was beautiful as well.

Mariah was very professional and so communicative and responsive during the whole process. There was a delay in getting my frame but Mariah’s communication re: this was excellent.

I am thankful I searched high and low all over Ireland to find Mariah’s work, her bouquet preservations are the nicest I have ever come across!

Thanks again Mariah 😊

I found Mariah through an Instagram ad before my wedding and I'm so glad I did. I really wanted my flowers preserved but when I saw her work I knew she was the one. Luckily she had availability. Mariah gave clear instructions on how to send off my bouquet. Communication was great and although the bouquet went over the original estimated time. Mariah kept me updated. Well it was well worth the wait. Mariah had advised there could be a colour change with preservation but they were perfect and even more beautiful in real life. I can't wait to display them. She also thoughtfully included a Christmas decoration too. Good things take time and you can tell the love and time Mariah puts into her preservations.

My sister in law got married last year and as a gift for her, I sent a bunch of her wedding flowers to Mariah to be preserved. Mariah did an amazing job, her communication was fantastic and my sister in law absolutely loved her gift! The finished product was absolutely stunning and I would recommend anyone to send their wedding flowers to The Flower Bandits for a beautiful keepsake from their day.

Mariah is absolutely amazing! She is so easy to communicate with, always listening to your ideas and also bringing her own. Her work is so creative and her craftsmanship is flawless. My preserved flowers arrived still pretty much the colour they were on the day of the wedding, arranged beautifully. The packaging was safe, secure and luxurious and a real treat to open. I can't recommend Mariah enough - She is a pleasure to deal with and incredible at what she does

Mariah was amazing to deal with from start to finish, her attention to detail is incredible. I cannot recommend getting your bouquet preserved with the flower bandits anymore highly, it is the best thing you will do. It is such a special piece to have in our home forever, we both smile every time we look it at. We also get a smaller frame for my MIL and a book mark for my own Mam and they both have said it is the best gift they have ever received. Thanks so much again Mariah ❤️

From the second I contacted Mariah about preserving my bouquet she was so helpful and very informative about the entire process. She was very fast at responding in the emails. Mariah puts 110% into every bouquet preservation, the attention to detail is outstanding!! The colours are so bright just like they were on our big day. She chose the most beautiful selection of flowers and foliage from my bouquet to preserve. The packaging was even beautiful, so carefully and beautifully packaged to ensure it would not get damaged when shipped. I chose to do a partial bouquet preservation, the second I opened it, It took me right back to the day of the wedding. Its such an amazing way to remember the big day, and now I get to look at it everyday up on the wall. She also personalised it with our names and the wedding date. I cannot recommend Mariah enough, she is amazing.
I 100% recommend every bride to get this done with their bouquet, it is such a lovely keepsake.

Posting my flowers down the Monday after the wedding was really straightforward, she gave specific instructions which made it easy! The frames she made for us, our parents and our bridesmaids are just stunning and really capture how beautiful the flowers were on the day. We are so happy to have such a beautiful piece to remember our wedding day. I couldn't recommend Mariah highly enough!

Wedding on 5th May 2022
I found Mariah when Adonis Flower Designers shared a pressed bouquet that she had made from flowers Adonis supplied. The couple was also using Adonis and so I contacted Mariah before the wedding, which was perfect because she gave me all the instructions on how to pack the bouquet and post it to her. I told the bride that I needed the bouquet for 'something?, but not what it would be. Mariah confirmed as soon as she received the flowers and started pressing/ drying them. Then she came back to me with proposed layouts and to get my approval at every step.

When the final pieces arrived, they were beautifully packaged - each of the three pieces wrapped and tied. The couple LOVED the gifts.

Every single step of the way was perfect. I was given lots of information in advance, kept notified about the progress throughout the process and Mariah was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

I have no hesitation in recommending her for any couple - or for preservation of any special bouquet!
