Hi There! 🌺🌼🌸🌻
I’m Deanne. Keeper of the flowers.
I love, revere, and surround myself with flowers and plants. I hate to see them thrown away in the trash. It is my great joy help people keep their beautiful flowers in a way that brings them joy for decades. I believe beauty in our surroundings brings human life and thriving.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think everyone has a deep tie in one form or another to the natural world that grounds us and make us more whole.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After 10 years working as a professional freelance painter and sculptor, I am the perfect candidate to BRING IT. Let me transform your beautiful bouquet into a lasting work of art.

This piece whisks me away, right back to my tropical home every time I see it. I tear up because of the vivid memories it brings back at just one glance. Actually, it does more....it brings back the FEELING of being there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year my family and I escaped to Mexico for 5 weeks during the quarantine! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our condo was surrounded by banana trees, palm trees, and dozens of different types of tropical plants!! The 10 minute walk to the beach had dozens more!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pilfered and pressed tons of flowers and leaves from our place and anywhere we spent time there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I sent them home and made this piece. It captured the feelings of a place and time I can never get back. It became my favorite piece of art ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy New Year!! Remember these big, extravagant, fabulous, talent magnets….. the Industry parties?? It may be wishful thinking but I’m sure hoping for a few of those this year!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My word for this new year… It may sound odd, but it is ‘authority’.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do I want to ‘author’ or write into my life?
I won’t be (or at least will try to minimize 🤓) being carried off into distraction and my default modes that carry me away from the person I want to be.
🌹 what are my priorities and goes do I keep them on top?
🌷What do I choose to pay attention to?
🌷what I choose to tackle even though it’s terrifying?
🌷I find this to be so empowering. How can I author in the good and the beautiful?

Did you know we also preserve memorial flowers into artwork? What better way to remember your loved one than with their favorite flowers or flowers from their very own garden.

It’s never too late. If your wedding has already passed and you’ve got a crumbly old bouquet upside down somewhere, we can work with that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you loved your bouquet but it’s long gone, we can replicate it with flowers from my inventory or re-create It with fresh flowers!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What an amazing anniversary gift that would be!

Your bouquet is a once in a lifetime item. Let it take your breathe away AGAIN! We help you capture, cherish, & be moved by that beauty all over again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These preserved beauties were shipped to me from Hawaii! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shipped flowers typically arrive a little sad, browned, and wilted, but have no fear!! I have SO many tricks up my sleeve to perk them back up!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Delphinium detail. I'm in love with the foliage on these. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My palette. I often feel like I'm a cheating artist: a plagiarist of nature. But nature is so generous, I can't help myself. It's constantly supplying more and more and more. It gives it's beauty away for free and I'm taking it up on it's offers. Perhaps I'm not so much an artist as I am a great admirer. Lovingly and obsessively attentive to the beauty of nature. Trying with all my might, mind, creativity, and skill to harness and hold it's beauty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I'll do it forever. I do it because I love it.

Prob my favorite. I just love that symmetry!! I could stare at it for hours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for letting my try something new!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
did the lovely (as always) bouquet!

Having your flowers preserved is such a great thing to do for your future self.

When I was planning my wedding, my mind would race every single day with all the options & decisions. Then put a budget on it all, and it becomes decision fatigue to an extreme!!!
Don't forget--you and your spouse are the stars of the day. Remember to treat your future selves with something extra special!! Carry those glorious memories into your future lives together.

Inspired by antique botanical illustrations, I numbered and labeled each flower type in this wedding bouquet and listed them at the bottom of the piece. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preserved here are miniature daisies, delphinium, ranunculus, roses, and sandersonia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm swooning over these new glass and gold terrarium display cases! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perfect for the Groom's boutonniere, family flowers, or just a little extra something something for yourself!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There are still lots of options if your wedding has already passed and your bouquet is long gone. Wouldn't artwork for a baby nursery be lovely?! Especially if it included flowers you had in your wedding bouquet?!? I am now able to source new flowers to preserve. And now you've got yourself a fantastic family heirloom.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Throughout the process of floral preservation, I take extra care in ensuring you'll love the finished product!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My clients like to know what they're getting and to be involved in the process! No one needs a mystery when it comes to something so special.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After receiving your bouquet, I send a style survey to find out all your style preferences and wishes. We cover background color, frame style, floral composition, and anything else you'd like to add here. Then, before I attach everything permanently, I send a photo proof--what your artwork will look like in it's finished state for you to approve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There's an obvious trend I'm picking up whenever I talk to married folk about their weddings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being that: of all the memories of their big day, seeing and holding the bridal bouquet is SERIOUSLY special. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Wedding is all about beauty. The beauty of what you're doing, the beauty of all the love in the room, the beauty of YOU. I think the bouquet is a symbol of all that beauty bundled up in one glorious ribbon wrapped bouquet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm elated to offer you the magic of keeping it forever. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thinking this one will need to stay in my own personal collection. Includes pressed and preserved orchid, dusty miller, preserved yucca blooms and pods, preserved dutch pincushion, delphinium, daisies, chalk and graphite illustrations

Don't subject yourself to the oh so painful, inevitable fate of throwing out your wedding bouquet! Keep them and cherish them instead!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm booking up quickly: Reserve your spot for the 2021 season!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
