More pressed flower & greens Floral Memories

Forgive me if I’m drowning you in pressed flower photos, but one proof of concept isn’t enough! For this second example I took inspiration from Heather! She dug up a wedding invitation and I pulled flora that spoke to the aesthetic of her wedding—bright colors and lots of energy.

Fun, right? I’d love to be able to work some magic on your wedding flowers, too. As a reminder, if you book your wedding with me by Dec 31, 2018, you can ask for this pressed flower service completely free as my gift to you.

I’m so excited to announce that we’re partnering up with Wine & Design to teach a wreath making class on 12/15 in Annapolis, MD at 6:30pm!! There are only 15 spots available, so if your interested, reserve you spot ASAP!

A few weeks ago when I first announced a pressed flower service (Floral Memories!) for wedding clients, I mentioned that I had flowers from Laura & Andrew’s drying in my office. Well… they’re dry enough to frame!

Gorgeous, right? 😍 This is a great way to remember a wedding through colors, motion, moments, and beauty-filled joy.

If you book your wedding with me by Dec 31, 2018, you can ask for this pressed flower service completely free as my gift to you.

05/11/2018

Here’s a behind the scenes shot as we take pictures of the autumn arrangements! When the only good light is pressed against the sliding glass door in your kitchen you often get some cute company. Meet Maddox! Easily the cutest member of our team. 😍

When I create these autumn arraignments, I like to imagine families sitting around their table, each with a slightly different view of the flowers. I call it "creating moments"! That's a big reason why no two of my arraignments are identical, I hand craft each one with you in mind!

Pre-orders are available until 11/9! https://www.thevictorianpetal.com/store/c2/autumn-arrangements

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 To celebrate, I wandered around my neighborhood gathering beautiful dead things to make an arrangement. Floral design isn't just fresh cut flowers! 😅

I had so much fun working with Bianca from Fantastic Flowers yesterday at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. Working with such great people and making new friends is my favorite thing about working in this field!

Preserving Your Floral Memories

So many brides ask me for a way to preserve their bouquets, and I’ve been thinking… The Victorian Petal will press, preserve, and artfully frame flowers used in your wedding for you!

Right this very second, I’m pressing flowers from Laura & Andrew’s recent wedding and I’m super excited to arrange and frame them when they’re done! I set aside one of each type of flower and greenery used in the bouquet to press. Really, everything in your bouquet I include in the final framed piece.

This service is available to my floral design clients only, as that’s how I’m able to press the fresh individuals of what is included in your bouquet. Whether you’ve already booked or are just now reaching out for your upcoming wedding, I’d love to help save your wedding memories!
