Kelly's Beautiful Autumn Bridal Bouquet ~*

Kelly's Bridal Bouquet was an amazing combination of plants and flowers!

Floral Design by: Petal Pushers, Dripping Springs, Texas



 Teddy Bear Sunflowers, 3 Kinds of Orchids, Rununculous, Calla Lillies, 
Mums, Scabiosa Pods, Goldenrod, Dahlia, Billy Balls, Feverfew, 
Hypericum Berries, Cockscomb, Leucodendron, Astilbe,
 Silver Leaves and Eucalyptus!



The flowers were pressed, preserved, some were color-enhanced,
then mounted on an ivory background and
professionally framed in an 11x14 walnut frame.

Each flower is pressed, some taken apart first and reassembled later.  
The bride chooses how she wants her bouquet presented.  
In this case, she wanted the flowers, only 
and she wanted them to fill the frame with a small space around the edge.  
After the art is completed, it is vacuum sealed.

Teardrop Beveled Glass Ornament Keepsakes
made from extra orchids from the bouquet.

Thank you, Kelly, for trusting me with your gorgeous bridal bouquet!
