shannon clegg’s dried bouquets don’t need vases

By

Why put flowers in a vase when the flowers can simply be the vase? We imagine that's what Shannon Clegg was thinking when she set about making her first pressed-flower bouquets. The everlasting blooms are at no risk of being hidden by unsightly vases, since they’re strategically sculpted to hold themselves upright (and look way cooler as a result).

The Cape Town-born, London-based designer creates the whimsical bouquets using her own special hand-moulding technique – a method that’s far more impressive than our tried-and-true approach of squishing flowers between the pages of a book. (Hey – that's why she's the artist and we're mere admirers.) Have a squiz at more of Shannon’s pretty work by popping over to her website and Instagram
