My Indiana heart just leaps at the smell, the feel and the looks of Peonies. So, when this bouquet came in, I was instantly in love! Nicole's bouquet contained one type of flower: Fragrant, Beautiful, Romantic, Soft Pink Peonies!

 Nichole chose to have her bridal bouquet pressed and preserved around her bridal picture, 

on an Dawn Gray background. She actually ordered an antique white frame and I

 mistakenly framed it in barnwood. (This will be changed)

Thank you, Nichole, for being such a sweet, beautiful bride to work with! 

Your flowers were beautiful! Annie, Pressed Garden

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

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 ~*

and the scent filled my studio with memories!

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.

were made from left over petals.
