Custom Creations

"Dried flowers" - makes you think of dust, attics and overly cute country decor.  Not exactly my style, so I never thought about working with anything but fresh flowers.  When I was thinking about starting a new business I was searching for a way to be creative with flowers, but without always having to deal with a perishable product.  Somehow I stumbled upon a dried flower wholesale website which showcased the flowers brilliantly and introduced me to soft preserved flowers such as hydrangeas and roses.  Okay, now we're talking!  I could work with these and started looking at all the possibilities dried flowers offered.  Hey, just because it's dried doesn't mean it can't be fun, colorful, and contemporary.  So here are a few new designs.  Of course I can make anything, just ask!
Green hydrangea, sola flowers, scabiosa seed heads and eucalyptus seed pods

Preserved purple hydrangea, nigella seed head and echinops

Oregano 'Kent Beauty', fuchsia cockscomb and peonies

Lambs ears, echinops and preserved blue hydrangea
