Custom Wedding Bouquets
What makes my process unique to other flower preservation options out there…?
That is a fair question and I have an important and relevant experience to share with you…When I started my business in 2017 I was gathering all sorts of natural elements from wildflowers and grasses to all types of cultivated blossoms and greenery. I have a burning desire to capture the beauty of all this lovely Mother Earth that we are blessed with…to preserve the actual DNA not just an image. From the beginning there were pictures that I chose to keep, others that did not find a home quickly even though I was selling a lot of artwork at the shows I was attending. Over the next three years I noticed that some of the pieces were not retaining the lovely, vibrant colors that they had in the beginning! Particularly the artwork with flowers and greenery, as opposed to trees and landscape scenes. This was alarming to me and had to find a solution because I could not stand the idea of anyone having chosen my artwork only to be disappointed at how it aged!
Thus, I began the process of finetuning the color correction and color enhancement process that I now use on all my artwork, including the wedding bouquets. The finished artwork is dimensional, not smushed, and as close to the original colors as possible. The colors in your bouquet will stay this way for years to come even if it is hung on a wall in direct sunlight. It is my sincere objective to create a beautiful memento of this Special Day…a lasting piece of artwork that you will enjoy and be proud of for years to come…an heirloom to pass on to future generations. ….On the other hand: Blossoms that are freshly dried, pressed and framed behind glass look lovely…initially. There is no process to protect the longevity of the colors any exposure to sunlight will speed up the inevitable fading of the flowers and greenery due to aging. I have come across examples of old and faded flowers all behind glass in a lovely frame…I find them at Thrift Stores. I do not want this for you. Once I receive your flowers, the bouquet is carefully pulled apart so the blossoms and greenery can be dried separately so as to retain as much of their natural color and optimal shape as possible. Color correction will be applied to most if not all of the flowers and greenery so that the finished artwork looks very much like the fresh bouquet on the day of the ceremony. It will be protected in layers of UV inhibiting epoxy resin for a lovely, long-lasting FROZEN IN TIME memento of your special day. I carefully select a variety of refurbished frames because the quality of material used: more wood than plastic and also to keep them out of our overflowing landfills!… besides, it is a favorite pastime of mine to treasure hunt for beautiful frames which also enhances the uniqueness of each piece I create! **The turn-around time from receiving your flowers to the completion of your artwork can be from 12-15 weeks depending on the Busy Season. **To reserve a date on my calendar, click on this link which will take you to my Booking Calendar Page.
