Hyeon's Bright White Bridal Bouquet ~

Lovely, Fresh White Bridal Bouquet of 
Garden Roses, Rununculous, Stock, Baby's Breath,
and Frilly Tulips and Peony!

 Hyeon, Houston, TX, chose to have her bridal bouquet 
preservedand presented on a gray background
and in an 11x14" Silver Oval Frame! 

 It can be a challenge in an all-white bouquet to keep it from looking
like an all white mash-up.  The key is to accentuate texture by
color enhancing the petals in different, subtle hues of white.

In other words, every petal in this bouquet was painted, individually!

I am really happy with how this bouquet turned out!
Thank you, Hyeon, for trusting me with your gorgeous bouquet!  

 "Thank you so much for all your beautiful work and for 
being easy to communicate with!" ~Hyeon, Bride

Kara's Fresh Creative Bridal Bouquet ~*

Kara's Fresh, Creative Bridal Bouquet!
Variegated Cabbage, Cotton Plants, Lizianthus, 
Carnation, Larkspur, Trick Carnations and Eucalyptus! 
Floral Design by: Angie Mays ~ Evember Floral ~ San Antonio, TX
Photography: Sarah Griffin ~ New Branfels, TX  

I pressed and preserved Kara's bouquet
on a "Terre Grotto" background, vacuum sealed it and 
framed it in an 11x14 Walnut Frame.
Kara gave me some freedom on how to arrange her flowers around her wedding invitation.  Because the original bouquet had such a pretty draping effect, 
I chose to have the flowers spill up and over the invitation.  

I had never pressed Cotton Plants before.  The outter shell is quite hard, so I took it apart,  and soaked it in water before pressing under concrete blocks!  
I reconstructed it to look 3-dimentional, while still flat. 

Scrapbook Squares - Little 2" pieces of Pressed Flower Art
that can be used to embellish her Wedding Scrapbook! 
 Balloon-shaped Beveled Glass Ornaments
Made from extra flowers! 

I love it!!!! I'm so happy with the frame and colors and layout, it couldn't be better!!! 
Thank you for everything - this is going to be a great memento from our wedding 
that we'll cherish forever :)))))  ~Kara

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
