Brooke's Creative and Unique Bridal Bouquet ~*

Artichokes, Kale, Succulents, Silver Brunia, Eucalyptus Berries and Scabiosa Pods

 were some of the unusual items in Brooke's Bridal Bouquet,

 that you don't normally think of when you think of Pressed Flowers!

Brooke's Bridal Bouquet was a unique design of Kale, Purple and White Calla Lillies, Succulents, Dusty Miller Leaves, Freesia, Lizianthus, Silver Brunia and Scabiosa Pods!  Other flowers were added to her Pressed Flower Art from table bouquets and bridesmaids bouquets and included Artichoke, Goldenrod and other items!

Brooke's Bouquet, Pressed and Preserved 

in an 11"x14" Barnwood Frame!

Along the right side you can see a Double White Calla Lilly on top of a Dusty Miller Leaf.  This is actually the grooms boutonniere tucked into the design.

In this close-up shot, you can see the Artichokes and Succulents. 

The Kale is in the background. 

Balloon-shaped Beveled Glass Ornaments

made from Light Purple Calla's and other 

bits of flowers and leaves.

Kale Pendants!

Yes, you read that right, Kale Pendants!

The Kale Leaves pressed to a bright yellow and my brave,

creative bride wanted to see what would happen if I painted them teal!

So, I used some pastels and interestingly,
 the veins picked up the most paint!

Unique, huh?

 "We couldn't be more thankful to you for preserving our amazing, yet challenging, flowers! We loved our unique florals and now we get to look at them forever! Not to mention our family also gets to enjoy them with the gifts you made. We're so glad Crissalane told us about Pressed Garden."

 This is one bouquet I will never forget.  Thank you, Brooke, for

trusting me with things I had never pressed before!

I had fun trying new techniques and learned that

Yes! Artichokes, Succulents and Kale CAN be pressed!

Rachel's Sweet, Soft Bridal Bouquet ~

Floral Design by Linda at Breathtaking Blooms, Austin, TX

Rachel's Beautiful Bouquet included Pink Roses,

White Lizianthus, Ranunculous, Queen Ann's Lace,

Carnations, Freesia and Pink/White Alstromeria.

 All of Rachel's flowers were pressed, preserved,

and arranged around her wedding invitation.

The little pink rose petal hearts in the top corner

were found deep inside the pink roses. 

The flowers were mounted on a navy blue background, 

which picks up the blue in the invitation and provides the perfect backdrop

for the soft, subtle shades in the flowers! 

The art was professionally framed in a bright white 11"x14" frame.

 Here are are a couple of pics that will give you a closer look.

Notice the bits of lace?  They were one piece wrapped around the stems

of the bouquet and came from the wedding dress of the Mother of the Bride!

(I love that)

Up Close Detail of Pressed Flower Art

I spend an average of 30-40 hours per bouquet, 

which is all play time when it is my passion!

Oh my goodness she (the bride) loved it. She was almost in tears. 

She didn't really know what to expect but the final art was beyond her expectations. 

Thank you again for your amazing talent!!
