Alyssa's Gorgeous Bridal Bouquet!

Alyssa carried this beauty down the aisle! Her sister created the bouquet

 of Mums, Blue Delphinium, Succulents, Anemone, Queen Ann's Lace, 

Sea Holly, Lisianthus, Limonium, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, 

Willow and Dusty Miller!

 Alyssa chose to have her bouquet pressed and presented around her wedding pic! 

A beautiful piece of lace that came from the wedding dress of the Mother of the Bride! Background: Neutral Gray. Frame: 11x14" Barnwood

AHHHHHH! Crying tears of joy right now! 

I can’t even begin to explain how this piece of art touches my heart. 

Thank you so much... for everything! 

For taking this on last minute, for handling everything with care, and for preserving something so special for us. ~Alyssa, California Bride

Alyssa, It as truly, my pleasure.  You were such a fun bride!! ~ Annie, Pressed Garden

Kate's Beautiful White Bridal Bouquet

Kate's Crisp White Bridal Bouquet of Bush Roses, Peony, Sweet William, Hydrangea, Anemone, Green Helabore, Privett Berries, Dusty Miller and Rosemary

Bouquet Design by: Millita of Vanda Floral, Colorado Springs, CO 

The Lapis Blue background really makes this bouquet POP!  I love adding little touches like the Hydrangea butterfly and heart shaped petals that came from the Bush Roses. 
The frame is an 8x10" Barnwood.

My flowers arrived safe and sound yesterday. They are absolutely perfect! 

Thank you much! They are already hung on our wall! Thank you again, Kate

My Pleasure, Kate! ~ Annie, Pressed Garden

Chelsea's Stunning Bridal Bouquet ~

Chelsea carried this gorgeous bouquet down the aisle in ther wedding. White Roses, White Anemone, Succulents and Black Berries. 

Floral Design by Wild Bunches, Dripping Springs, TX

 Chelsea chose "Tapestry Blue" for her background and a 

16x20" Barnwood Frame to highlight her beautiful flowers!

(Those black berries did not make it to the art.  Even with
concrete blocks on top of the presses, they would not go flat! 
So, they went back into the potpourri that I make at no charge
with all the parts of the bouquet that do not get pressed)   

 White Rose Petal Pendant and Earrings made from the best Rose Petals in the bouquet!

Here is a side view of the Pressed Flower Art!

Thank you, Delores, for trusting me with your daughter's beautiful bouquet! 

It was my pleasure to create this Keepsake for her! ~Annie

Our Wedding Vows ~

When David and I got married a year ago, 

we wrote our own vows, praying over them

so they would be just right. 

We were serious about the things we promised each other.

It occurred to us that perhaps, we should keep them before us!

I mean, if we made those promises, we should probably review them once in a while!

So, I typed them out and decorated them with some of the flowers 

from my bridal bouquet that I had pressed, 
as well as a few other favorite flowers! 
I framed it in an 8x10" black frame.

Purple Anemone, Larkspur, Daisies, Queen Anne's Lace,

Bougainvillea, Lilac, Grape Hyacinth and Forget Me Nots, 

pressed and dancing around our vows!

Country Roses, Rununculous, Anemone and Stock

Floral Artistry of: Becky at Bouquets of Austin, TX

 “Annie, thank you so much again for your beautiful art with Aly's flowers. 

 I sent her a photo and she was thrilled. 

She also loves the little hearts. 

I feel so blessed to have found you! 

I wish you the very best and will tell everyone about you.” 

 Mother of the Bride

Often, hidden deep inside a rose is a petal, shaped like a heart. 

What I love is that they are rarely perfectly shaped, just like us! 

 I try to find a place to tuck them into the art...see them?

 

These were such beautiful flowers to work with!
