It's the latest trend... preserving the brides bouquet.  But what goes into doing this?  How do ensure your bouquet is able to get to her before it looks brown and sad? 

Our guest this week is Annie Smith - The owner of Pressed Garden.  A business totally focused on doing everything possible to preserve the bridal bouquet... forever!

Annie has always loved flowers, even as a small child, making flowers out of kleenex and making Hollyhock dolls in her grandmother's yard. As soon as she could, she was reading books about growing plants/flowers. After a bitter divorce, she pulled the book back out and found Cellestine online. Over the remainder of her life, she became a friend and mentor, answering questions and even gifting her with a library of book about floral preservation.

In 2005, It was time to make her passion a reality, and so Pressed Garden was born. Over the year she moved to several different states, but when she moved to Florida, she knew this was it!  Flowers could be delivered easiiy over night from anywhere in the United States. Even with this accessibility she will only work on two bouquets a week because quality counts!

So much has gone into the bouquet. From creation, through photos, until the very end of the night. Those flowers have had a journey. With one last trip to her, so she will preserves everything she can.
