Elizabeth's Sweet Country Bridal Bouquet ~

Garden Roses, Pink Roses, White Hydrangea, White Peonies, 
Light Pink Peonies, Scabiosa Pods, Silver Leaves, Hypericum Berries 
and Black Berries make up this sweet country bouquet! 

Floral Design by Darby at Rockwall Flower and Design, Rockwall, TX


Elizabeth chose to have her bridal bouquet preserved and arranged 
around a photograph from the wedding.  
The flowers are mounted on a light gray background and 
framed in an 11x14" barnwood frame.

Pressed Flower Art up close!   


Scrapbook Squares are small 2" pieces
 of Pressed Flower Art, using left over petals from the bridal bouquet!  
The bride will be using these to make gifts.

Sometimes petals just beg to be used differently! 
 These little heart shaped petals came from deep inside the pink rose. 
The butterfly shaped floret is from the White Hydrangea! 

 
 "It's amazing!!! As much as I love the framed art, it's beautiful, 
I think I love the little squares even more!!! They are sooooo cute!!! 
So excited, thank you soooo much I love everything ." ~Melissa  

Thank YOU Melissa, for trusting me with your beautiful bouquet!

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!

Stephanie's Beautiful Country Bouquet ~

Gorgeous Bridal Bouquet of Country Roses, Regular Roses, 
Bush Roses, Anemone, Stephanotis, Silver Artemsia Leaves, 
and some of the most beautiful Lizzianthus I've ever seen!

Floral Design by: Sherri Jentsch, Blumen Meisters, New Braunfels, TX
 
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!

Missy's Fun, Colorful Country Bridal Bouquet ~

Missy, of Abilene, TX, carried this beautiful bouquet of 
Sunflowers, Gerbera Daisies, Blue Delphinium,
Circus Roses, Goldenrod and Eucalyptus in her wedding!
Floral Art of Greene's Florist, Weatherford, TX


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


 Do you see the 2 hearts, tucked down inside
the art?  Often, roses have one heart shaped petal down inside.
I love being able to use them!


The barnwood frame is the perfect finishing touch for this
country bouquet!

"I am AMAZED! I had no idea what to expect 
but this blows my doors off! 
Love the hidden hearts. So fun! You are very talented!" ~ Missy
