Camille's Romantic Vintage Bridal Bouquet ~*



Camille carried this lush, vintage bridal bouquet of Tulips,
Roses, Peonies, Statice, Mums, Hypericum Berries and Stock.

Floral Design by: Alyssa of Whim Florals at Camp Lucy


Camille chose to have her bouquet pressed and preserved 
by Pressed Garden, as a surprise for her husband!
 
Her flowers are mounted on a Rose background and in

an 11x14" Silver Oval Frame
Her lush velvet ribbon was included!


The little hearts were found inside the rose buds! 

 Teardrop Beveled Glass Ornaments were made from 
left over flowers from her bouquet!

Rose Petal Pendant made from one perfect rose petal!
 
As it turns out, Camille loved the art so much that she was unable to wait 
until Christmas to surprise her husband, but showed him right away! 


So I couldn't wait....My husband, Sean, and everyone I've showed the final product to, has been in awe of your work - including other professional artists in the Austin area...I just wanted to thank you again for taking so much care to create a work of art that will be in my home forever.  I truly appreciate that and can't wait to give the ornaments at Christmas.
~Camille, Bride

It has been such a pleasure working with you and creating all these keepsakes!  Thank you so much, Camille! ~ Annie, Pressed Garden

Ashley's Sweet All-White Bridal Bouquet ~



Ashley's All-White Bridal Bouquet of Peonies, Country Roses, Ranunculus, Dahlia, Hydrangea, Astilbe and Green Berzelia. 
 Floral Design by Luanna at The Plantation House, Pflugerville, TX

 Ashley chose to have her bridal bouquet pressed and preserved by Pressed Garden.  Her flowers are presented on a pink background, in an 11x14" gold frame.


 Every bouquet teaches me something! Berzelia was new to me. I'd never seen it before! They were pretty tough and I used concrete blocks to press these babies sorta flat! 
I love their "Polka dot" look!


Thank you, Ashley, for trusting me with your gorgeous bouquet!
