The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18

God led me to this client. Through a mutual friend’s sharing of their story on social media. Of how they had lost their husband. Their children’s father. Their person.

God told me to reach out. He told me to use the talents he has given me to comfort her & her family.

I am honoured to be used by God, through my art, for his glory, to preserve his incredible creations.

If you’ve wondered if you can do anything to better your preservation results the answer is absolutely!

Here are a few tips:

✨ Keep your bouquet protected from bruising - watch those hugs and avoid the bouquet toss!

✨ Keep your blooms in a cool dark location as much as possible.

✨ Give your blooms a trim about an inch up the stem and keep their water fresh to keep them hydrated. Please don’t spritz them as this adds excess moisture into the petals which can affect the drying process.

✨ Bring us your bouquet ASAP so you can get results like these!

Holly’s tropical blooms feel a bit out of place with a snowstorm on the way but regardless - they are looking flawless. 🌺

You might notice that some of Holly’s blooms (namely the anthurium) just don’t have the same colour they did when fresh. While we do everything we can to retain colour, we cannot control it all. Flowers are a natural element and they do what they want!

We appreciate the natural cycles your blooms go through, and so did this client. She was happy with this natural change and wanted them included in her piece.

If we ever have a bloom that changes so drastically in your bouquet, rest assured we will always reach out to you first before finalizing your design. We want your piece to be perfect to YOU!

When the before and after look so similar it’s 👌🏼!

Rachel’s bouquet has headed home and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Those purples just hold their rich colour so well!

Would you believe that no flowers in this piece were retouched or colour corrected? Well it’s true! 100% natural, God-given colours for these babies.

My youngest daughter is currently sleeping on my chest, home and sick. She is almost 3. Enjoying these cuddles as they come.

Parenthood, working part-time, and running a small business is a full plate. But at the end of the day I am most thankful for my family and all of your support. Thank you for giving me the flexibility to have these moments with my girls while they’re young. I cherish them so much. 🤍

Every floral preservation artist knows the pain of the final stage of a piece. The cleaning right before sealing a piece - forever.

Trying to get every finger print, smudge, fleck of dust, tiny flower crumb. Then after you’ve cleaned and checked and cleaned and checked 10 times so you put it together confidently. Only to flip it and see more dust. 😂

While this step is probably the most frustrating, it is so important to make sure your preservation piece reflects and honours your special memories.

So know that I will always do my best to get every single unwanted piece out of your frame. Even if it gives me gray hair!

Kimberly’s bouquet had so many beautiful, unique flowers that were so fun to design with. Textures and colours add so much depth to a finished piece.

Astrid's Floral Boutique did an incredible job, as always, in creating a stunning bouquet that I was honoured to preserve.

Whenever I start to get asked the same questions by different clients it tells me I’m not doing the best at communicating expectations. 🤔

So here are a few FAQs that you might be wondering about too:

What do I do with my flowers between my wedding and bringing them to you?

✨ Keep your blooms in fresh water, change daily if possible.

✨ Store them in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight.

✨ Trim the stems to give them a hydration boost!

How long does it take?

✨ From drop off to pick up, approximately 10-15 weeks.

✨ The flowers alone can take 4-6 weeks to fully preserve. Then we might have to reassemble them, then we design, glue, frame and do the finishing steps.

✨ Last minute bookings and seasonal fluctuations can always increase the estimated time frame. If you have a specific date you’d like your piece completed by, please communicate that at the time of booking and we will do our best to accommodate.

If you ever have questions and can’t find the answer - please just shoot me a message!

Faith brought me her bouquet back at the start of July with concerns that we might not be able to save her blue hydrangeas.

I tried a few tricks learned from my years spent working as a florist and was able to salvage a number of them. And just look at how incredible her blooms preserved. There is absolutely no colour correction or filters here. Completely natural blooms, pressed and preserved forever. ✨

Probably one of the best parts of having a framer who makes each piece to order is that we can customize every single frame without compromise.

You want to include an item thats 3/4” thick but don’t want a deep shadowbox? No problem for my framer.

You want a custom wood finish? No problem for my framer.

You want a specific sized frame for that perfect spot in your home? No problem for my framer.

Let’s make your preservation the perfect piece for you. My Dad, the expert framer of Elvie’s, & I are ready to make your family heirloom everything you’ve dreamed of. 🤍
