Taylor told us, “Connor and I have known each other for about six years now. We are college sweethearts - we met at our first internship and it turned out we attended the same university and were in the same program, so the next few years were filled with many, many study dates. I'm the big reader between the two of us and I love to decorate my bookshelves, so when I spent Christmas with Connor's family for the first time he gifted me a set of wooden bookends he'd handmade with laser cut emblems from my favorite books. Fast forward to a few months ago - I was interested in preserving my flowers and when I came across your business I loved the idea of having the first set of bookends he gave me years ago along with a set of bookends made with the flowers from our wedding. It seemed very fitting!” Ummm, can we say meant to bee?! It is so special to us that we could turn their wedding flowers into bookends - such a sentimental icon in their relationship!

In addition to the classic bookends for their Wedding Bouquet Preservation artwork, Taylor and Connor also selected the hexagon boutonnière artwork and the faceted ring holder, and we’re obsessed with how that blue delphinium stands out in each keepsake. Their floral designer, fleurs petite, is one of our Preferred Vendors - the quality of their florals is outstanding, and their design style is absolutely incredible!

Taylor gave us the nicest compliment, too! She said, “These came out so pretty!! I'm shocked - the flowers look just like they did when they were alive. Thank you for your hard work on this - you can really tell how much talent and care went into it.” We are over the moon we got to preserve such a special part of your most special day!
