KILDARE flower preservation company, SIÓG Botanicals, based in Crookstown Business Park and Emma Ferris from Athy's Clanard Court Hotel won awards for flower preservation supplier of the year and wedding co-ordinator of the year.
The awards ceremony took place at Lyrath Estate, Kilkenny, on Monday, March 3, celebrating excellence in Ireland’s wedding industry.
SIÓG Botanicals, founded by Lorna Frawley and Joanna Brien-Sammons, specialises in transforming wedding bouquets and meaningful floral arrangements into timeless pieces of pressed flower art. The business has built a reputation for its meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to the ancient art of flower pressing.
“We are truly honoured to receive this award,” said co-founder Lorna Frawley.
“When we started SIÓG Botanicals, our goal was to create something meaningful—something that allows people to hold onto the most special moments of their lives. To be recognised as Ireland’s top flower preservation supplier is a dream come true.”
Co-founder Joanna Brien-Sammons added: “This award is a testament to the hard work of our incredible team, the support of our suppliers, the florists who recommend us, and, most importantly, the trust our clients place in us. Every bouquet we preserve tells a unique story, and we are privileged to be part of that.”
If you know someone getting married, you can book a flower preservation service on their website. SIÓG Botanicals also regularly hosts pressed flower art workshops at GATHER Kildare, located at Southwells, Market Square in Kildare town. GATHER Kildare is a creative space that showcases the best of local design and is supported by Kildare’s Local Enterprise Office.
