Satin flower atelier
Bouquets that outlive the occasion
10 colours · made by hand · Brno
Every petal is cut from satin ribbon by hand and sealed over an open flame. Nothing wilts, nothing drops, nothing goes in the bin next week.
The palette
The colours I work in. You decide how many of each.
Each rose is made one at a time, so a bouquet is however many of whichever colours you want. Every photograph below is finished work in that shade — not a colour chart.
Photograph — look closer · Plus — add one rose
Every rose comes on a stick, ready to go into a bouquet. The price is for the flower itself — wrapping and ribbon are added separately. The smallest order is three roses.
Ready now
Bouquets that are already made
These exist. Each one was made once, there is one of each, and it goes out the day after you write. Anything else on this page is built to order.
Finished work
Bouquets that have already been made
Each of these started as a list of colours, exactly like the one you are putting together above.
The material
Satin behaves like a flower. It just refuses to die.
The colour stays put
Satin does not brown at the edges. A bouquet made today looks the same in five years, as long as you keep it out of direct sun.
It survives the post
Wired stems and sealed petals travel well. Every parcel goes out in a rigid box with the head of the bouquet fixed in place.
Nobody is allergic to it
Satin makes no pollen and carries no scent, so there is nothing in the bouquet to react to. For someone who loves flowers and sneezes at them, this is the version that works.
It is made once, for you
Colour, size and flower count are decided per order. Nothing here is mass produced, and nothing is made twice.
Against cut flowers
| Satin | Cut flowers | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it lasts | Years | Five to ten days |
| Pollen and scent | None | Both |
| Travels by post | Yes | Rarely |
| Made to a colour you choose | Always | Whatever is in season |
What I do not do
No dried or preserved flowers, no imported ready-made stems, and nothing made in a batch and kept on a shelf. Every rose on this site was cut and rolled for the order it belongs to.
From ribbon to box
How a rose is made, and how it arrives
None of this is a photograph. Two of them could not be photographed at all — the inside of a closed box, and the second a flame touches the ribbon.

What arrives
A rigid box, tissue, the roses laid flat and the care card. Nothing rattles and nothing bends.
The size of one rose
Drawn to scale against a centimetre rule.
Looking after it
Four rules, and it stays exactly as it is
Keep it off the windowsill
Direct sun is the one thing that fades satin. Anywhere else in the room is fine, for years.
Dust it with cold air
A hairdryer on the cold setting, held about 30 cm away. Once a month is plenty.
Never wash it
Water works into the sealed edge and opens it up. That cannot be undone, so skip it entirely.
Steam out a crushed petal
If a petal gets bent in transit, hold it over a kettle for a few seconds and press it back into shape with your fingers.
How an order works
Four steps, one to seven days
-
You pick the colours
Build the bouquet on this page, or just send a photo of what you have in mind. Either works.
-
We agree on the shape
I sketch the composition, count the flowers and name the price. Nothing gets made until you say yes.
-
The bouquet gets made
One to seven days, depending on how many flowers there are. Every petal is cut, singed and wired by hand — usually with a photo update halfway through.
-
It reaches you
Handed over in person around Brno, or sent in a rigid box with the carrier you choose.
Delivery and payment
Three ways it reaches you
Every bouquet travels in a rigid box with the head fixed in place, so nothing is crushed on the way. Shipping is paid by you, and you choose how it travels.
-
Brno and around
Collect it from the studio, or we meet somewhere that suits you. Time and place are settled in messages.
-
Anywhere in Czechia
Zásilkovna, a courier or the post — whichever suits you. The tracking number comes the moment it leaves.
-
Other countries
Usually possible. Write first and we work out the route and what it costs.
Payment
Half once the sketch is agreed, half when the bouquet is finished and photographed. Bank transfer or card.
Zásilkovna is usually around 79 Kč across Czechia. Shipping is not part of the price of the flowers. You pick the carrier, you see its rate, and nothing is sent before you agree to it.
The atelier
One person, one table, a lot of ribbon
It started by accident. I saw online how these roses are made, tried one, and could not put it down. That is the honest version — there is no family legend behind it.
A year on, that curiosity has turned into the work: petals cut by hand, edges sealed over a flame, every rose finished on its own. No workshop, no production line — a table in Brno with good light.
I wanted one flower that would still be there next year. Now there are ten colours of them.
What people say
In their own words
Questions
The five that come up every time
About the order
How long does an order take?
One to seven days, depending on how many flowers there are. A large order gets its own date, agreed before the work starts — so write early if the day is already fixed.
Can you make a colour that is not in the seven?
Yes. The seven are the ones ready to go; any other shade is made to order. Send a photo of the colour you want and I will match the ribbon to it.
Do you take larger or trade orders?
Yes — for events and for wedding planners. Those are agreed one by one in messages rather than through the form, so write and tell me the scale.
How do I pay?
Half up front once the sketch is agreed, half when the bouquet is finished and photographed. Bank transfer or card.
About delivery
Do you ship outside the country?
Yes. Anywhere in Czechia as standard, and further by arrangement. You pick the carrier and pay its rate, the bouquet travels in a rigid box, and you get a tracking number.
What if I do not like it?
Then it goes back. You have three days from receiving the bouquet: the whole price is returned on the first day, three quarters on the second, half on the third. Or I remake it instead — whichever suits you better.
About looking after it
How do I look after it?
Keep it out of direct sunlight and dust it with a hairdryer on cold, from a distance. That is genuinely all of it. Never wash it.
