Ahhhh....the Scent of Peonies! ~*

I love peonies! 

 They take me back to where I fell in love with flowers, 

my grandma's yard in Indiana ~* 

 I recently preserved Ann's all-peony bridal bouquet 

and the scent filled my studio with memories!

Floral Designer: Wild Bunches of Dripping Springs, TX

Photographer:  OneCinema Productions

Ann chose to have her Peony Bridal Bouquet

mounted on a very light gray background

and framed in an 11x14 walnut frame.

A glittery rhinestone-studded monogram 

"H" representing her new last name was added.

These Heart-Shaped Beveled Glass Ornaments

were made from left over petals.

"Annie!! I love love LOVE the art you created!! 

Thank you SO much!! My husband thought it was very cool!" ~ Ann

Thank you, Ann!  It was a pleasure working with you!

An Oval of Roses ~*

 This beautiful all white bouquet came to me from Maryland.

It was a beautiful ball of White Roses and Dusty Miller! 

The flowers are pressed and mounted on a periwinkle background, 

then vacuum sealed and framed in an 11x14 silver, oval frame.  

Only conservation clear, museum quality glass is used. 

It arrived late Monday evening. I was so excited to see it.
It is beautiful. Most importantly my daughter loves it.
Thank you again. Pat, Mother of the Bride

Jeanine's Cheery Bridal Bouquet ~

Jeanine's Cheerful Bridal Bouquet

Yellow, Orange and Lavender Roses, Green Hydrangea, 

Bright Pink Peonies, White Freesia and White Parrot Tulips!

 

 

The bride chose to have her bouquet pressed, preserved

and arranged around her Wedding Program.  

The pressed flowers were mounted on a light lavender background

and framed in an 8x10 white frame! 

 

Before art is framed, it is always vacuum sealed. 

 

 These colors make me smile!  Here is a close up.

 

Thank you, Jeanine, for trusting me to transform your beautiful flowers

into an heirloom!

"[My Sister in Law] was surprised and so happy with her gift! Both she and my brother loved it, 

and spent quite a bit of time simply admiring it and taking in the details, color and precious reminder you created. They’re wonderful and beautifully show your work. I just love how it turned out,

 and really couldn’t be any happier with all that you did. It was just beautiful!
Many, many thanks to you for your lovely, lovely work!" ~ Kay

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!
