Our biggest work

Varmala Preservation

The garland you put around each other. Those same flowers, dried, arranged, and stopped in resin, with your photograph at the centre. Your names and your wedding date in gold beneath it.

What goes inside

Not just the flowers.

Whatever you had with you that day: the garland, the bangles, a kundan set, the kalire, can all go into one frame. Put it in a box and send it. We work out what sits best where, and nothing is set until you have seen it.

  • i.

    The flowers

    The whole garland, or as much of it as the frame will hold.

  • ii.

    Wedding photograph

    One picture, printed and sealed inside the resin.

  • iii.

    Names and date

    In gold acrylic or gold lettering, however you prefer.

  • iv.

    Bangles

    The red wedding bangles, usually set as an arc across the frame.

  • v.

    Jewellery

    Kundan, pearls, green beads, a jhumka: whatever was worn that day.

  • vi.

    Kalire & thread

    The small things that turn out to hold the most.

As large as the memory, and no larger

A large frame for the wall, a smaller one for a table, or a keepsake that sits in one hand.

All prices are starting prices. The final cost depends on size, colour and how much customisation you want. We confirm the exact figure on WhatsApp before anything begins.

The Six-Inch Keepsake

from₹6996" round

The smallest way to start. A round piece that sits in one hand: a pearl border, your photograph at the centre, names and date beneath. The one people buy as a gift.

  • A few flowers from the garland
  • One photograph
  • Names and date
  • Pearl border

Start to finish

Six steps. None of them hurried.

Drying the flowers is the slowest part and it cannot be sped up. The rest we handle, and we send you a photograph at every stage.

The garland reaches us

In Kolkata we arrange a pickup. Anywhere else, we send you the exact way to pack and courier it so not a single petal breaks.

The flowers are dried

The slowest part, and the one that cannot be rushed. Flowers have to dry completely. Rush it and they blacken inside the resin.

You approve the layout

Before anything is set, we photograph the arrangement and send it to you. Flowers here, photograph there, names below. Resin only goes in once you say yes.

Resin, then patience

The resin is poured and left to cure. The frame isn't moved once during that time. What sets, sets permanently.

Double-boxed to your door

Bubble wrap, corner protection, two boxes. A thank-you sticker on every one.

The practical bits

What you'll want to know

01When should I book?
Ideally before the wedding, so that nobody has to think about the garland on the day itself. Tell one person at home to set it aside once the function ends. If the wedding has already happened, message us straight away. The sooner the flowers reach us, the more colour survives.
02How does the garland reach you?
Inside Kolkata we arrange a pickup. Anywhere else, by courier. We send you the exact way to pack it so no petals break on the way. Please check with us before you send it.
03Will an old or already-dried varmala work?
Often yes. It depends on how dry the flowers are and how much colour is left. Send us a photograph of the garland on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether it will turn out well.
04How long does it take?
Drying the flowers alone runs into weeks, and that part cannot be hurried. Rush it and they blacken inside the resin. Once we have seen your garland we will give you a real timeline. Photographs keep coming at every stage.

Send us a photograph and we'll tell you what it could become.
