Dekrisha's Surprise!

Instead of tossing her bridal bouquet, Dekrisha gave it

as a gift to the guest who had traveled the furthest

to come to her wedding, Dubai.

Her guest was so moved by the gift, that she wanted to have it preserved 

and returned to the bride as a surprise!  

She found me online and brought the bouquet to my studio.

She chose to have Dekrisha's bouquet pressed and preserved,

then mounted on a light green background and framed in barnwood!

When the art was completed, the bride and groom were told

to come to my studio, but did not know why.

Imagine Dekrisha's surprise when she realized that the bridal bouquet

she had given as a gift, had been preserved and returned

to HER as a gift!

Here is a closer look at the bridal bouquet of White Tulips,

Ranunculous, Orchids, Stephanotis, Hydrangea, Lilly of the Valley,

Light Green Hydrangea and Rosemary Leaves.

She also chose 4 Scrapbook Squares. 

These are small 2" square pieces of artmade from bits of left over flowers

that can be used for scrapbooking or for magnets.

Thank you, Jane! It was delightful to be a part of Dekrisha's surprise!

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)

Pressed Garden took each blossom apart, 

pressed them, color enhanced some items, 

then arranged the flowers just as Stephanie carried them.

Stephanie opted for a Country Barnwood Frame for her Bridal Bouquet Art!

Now her bridal bouquet is an heirloom! 

Up close, you can see the amount of detail in the art.

Do you see the hidden hearts?

I found those petals hidden down deep in her roses!

 Now all those colorful, fun flowers have been transformed into an heirloom!
