Queen & i - Floral Preservation

the flowers, but she was so flexible and made arrangements to try to work it into our schedule. We were extremely pleased with the final product - so much so that I went back a few months later and had a piece made for my sister! It is somewhat pricey, but it's well worth it for the beautiful keepsake!

reminder of our wedding. The consultant listened to my vision and made it happen. I chose to have a replica of my exact bouquet framed- and it turned out beautifully. It is hanging under our framed invitation in my hallway and I continue to get compliments from friends and family. I definitely recommend this if you want to keep your wedding bouquet forever! Keep in mind- you need to get the bouquet to All Seasons Floral as soon as you can after the wedding- before the flower tips start browning. My maid of honor dropped it off for me the day after my wedding. I highly recommend this service to any bride!

eresa are amazingly talented. They assisted me every step of the way to make two beautiful treasures! We were able to include the invitations and ribbons. One bride had included a CD of favorite songs with the wedding invitation, and that was also a part of the art! There is nothing Mary Beth and Theresa can't do.

he process to me. I'm very picky and she was very patient as I decided on what exactly I wanted. She and her team did such an amazing job with my floral art piece. I wanted my bouquet, my husbands boutonniere, our wedding invitation and picture of my husband and I in the frame. Unfortunately the boutonniere didn't look so hot by the time I got her my flowers (which was 2 weeks after my wedding). But that wasn't a problem they took a flower from my bouquet and recreated the boutonniere for us. It turned out even more amazing than I imagined. It is such a wonderful way to remember our special day. I have it hanging in the living room and everyone who comes over just loves it. My sister just recently got married and is having a floral art piece made by Mary Beth and her team as well. Every bride should have a floral art piece from All Seasons Floral Preservation.

ted a floral design versus a reproduction of the bouquet/artwork with invitation. By doing so my piece is extremely versital, fits into any room without screaming wedding (think ten years from now), and guests are always impressed when I point out it was my wedding bouquet. I truly having a lasting heirloom that will grace the walls of my home for the years to come! Added bonus, these women excel at customer service by their proactive emails, extreme responsiveness, tailored design advice, and flexibility.

tes, and shapes! I really enjoyed selecting photos and the final arrangements looked very much like my bouquet and the other flowers. They made it very easy for a friend to drop off the flowers while we were on our honeymoon and offered a flexible schedule for appointments.

s site. Since they were very close to me (Sterling, VA), I wrote an email and got an immediate response. The next day I was able to take the bouquet over to them and they said the flowers were still in great condition and they could easily press them. While there, you get to pick a design of how you want your flowers preserved...you can get it done with an invitation, a picture, or both, and they can do some very beautiful designs with the flowers. I paid my deposit, and about 4 weeks later (this is normal wait time during prime wedding season, late April through August, btw), my flowers came. They are absolutely gorgeous! All I wanted was to have some of my flowers preserved, and they did a wonderful job! I highly recommend this company if you need your flowers preserved!

nswered all questions that I had and worked well with my wedding planner (Celebrations Made Simple). I was delightfully surprised when my flowers were done. Mary Beth and her sister did a wonderful job and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to preserve their bouquet.

I visited the website, that this was it. After the wedding, I express mailed her wedding bouquet to All Seasons Floral Preservation. Upon notification that the bouquet was in very good condition and could be pressed, I made an appointment to go to the business location in Sterling, VA to determine the design. I met Mary Beth, one of the owners, who was very professional and personable. She was a pleasure to work with in creating the design of the piece, including layout, background mat color, frame color and size. Thereafter, Theresa, the other owner, went to work on the bouquet and did an excellent job of recreating the bouquet from the pressed flowers. When I went back to pick up the piece, I was more than pleased. It was too beautiful for words. I was amazed at how she built up the bouquet so that it did not look flat, but 3-dimensional. Also, the original bouquet stem cover and ribbon were used that maintained its authenticity. I presented it to my daughter on Mother's Day and she was absolutely amazed and just as awestruck as I had been. Her husband loved it also. If you decide to have a set of flowers from a wedding or other occasion made into a pressed floral art piece, you will not be disappointed. Recognize that this is a unique piece of art work so there is a cost to be considered, but I believe it is more than worth it!

with every step along the way. Beautiful pieces to choose from and SO delighted with the final product. It is truly a unique and wonderful gift for any bride. One of the best momentos I can imagine. Highliy recommend ASFP to every bride!!!

ke! A worthwhile investment for brides who loved their wedding flowers and want something other than photos to remember the day by.

m them and decided it was worth it. The artwork they created is perfect and I couldn't be happier!

have imagined! It is GORGEOUS! They were super easy to work with, helped with the planning process, and turned my wedding flowers into something that I can cherish forever. Definitely use!

ies of the artwork. She is full of good ideas. She is a pleasant person and professional. She responded to e-mails and phone calls promptly, and most of all, the artwork is beautiful. I bought one for my husband and I and one for my mom. Purchasing artwork from All Seasons is a perfect way to hold on to some of your wedding memories. I highly recommend!

t for it dry out, then pray it doesn’t get crushed or fall apart as the years go by. Then I found Mary Beth and I was immediately thrilled with the prospect of preserving my bouquet in its original glory and protected forever in a frame. Two weeks after my wedding I met with Mary Beth and she patiently and thoughtfully walked me through the process of choosing the frame, matting, and describing the intricate and delicate details they use to press each individual petal and then reconstruct the bouquet to look exactly like it did the day I got married. She picked up the flowers from my place of work and I mailed her a picture or two of the bouquet that my photographer had taken, and then ten weeks later, my art was ready. I am THRILLED with how absolutely gorgeous it is. The frame, the matting, and each individual petal, stem, leaf, bud, and even ribbon is exactly as I remembered and beautifully pieced together. I feel like I now have a family heirloom that I can pass on to my children for generations to come, and feel confident it will last forever and always take my breath away. This was truly one of the best decisions I had made with my wedding planning and recommend it to every bride!

nd get it to them. This is an exceptional company with wonderful people who will work with you to find that perfect way to use your wedding flowers to add that perfect memory. We highly recommend them!

sure what I wanted to do. When I saw Queen & i at a local bridal show, I know exactly what I wanted to do. I had 200 yellow and white beads made from my flowers which I made into jewelry for my bridesmaids and family. My mother cried when I gave her bracelet to her. Thank you so much Dan for all you did!

took about 3 months to get the finished flowers, but definitely worth the wait. I had a charm for my mother’s Pandora bracelet made from one of the flowers. I can’t wait to give it to her.

the next day and gave the flowers to my mom to find someone that would preserve them. My mom called the florist that did my flowers and they referred Queen & i. It was Sunday afternoon when my mom called and within a few hours my mom was dropping the flowers off. Dan made my mom so at ease with his service. I ended up picking out my shadowbox a few weeks after I got back from my honeymoon. I was so emotional the day I picked them up; they looked just like the day of my wedding. Just an amazing service.

ion of different frames to choose from, but Dan made it very easy to help me pick just the right one out. It’s not cheap, but once I was walked through the process and after seeing my flowers done, it made it worth every dime. I would recommend Dan’s service to anyone getting married.

the aisle in a shadowbox with the boutonniere and invitation. Dan exceeded my expectation, he is amazing at what he does.

owers. I didn’t even think about keeping my flowers until my wedding day. When I picked up my flowers when they were ready, when I walked into his shop, it was just like the wedding day all over again! I can’t believe that I almost didn’t keep my flowers. Thank you Dan!

onally answered. I fell in love with my shadowbox the minute I saw it! It’s an amazing service that I would recommend.

from beginning to end. I am so glad I chose their services because they created such a unique piece of artwork that makes me smile every time I see it, as I remember the best day of my life. I would recommend All Seasons Floral Preservation to any bride--trust me you won't regret it!

and framing. A pleasure to work with. They are quite flexible in time schedule as well!

olutely beautiful. They used all the parts of my bouquet including a few extra pieces from another floral arrangement since they were important to my theme. I love the piece and am very glad to have something like it that will last forever.

and knowledgeable and recommended including some color from my bridesmaids bouquets to highlight my all white bouquet. The finished product is truly a work of art. I also think it's worth mentioning that I wasn't sure I wanted to preserve my flowers but now I'm really happy that I did, after all I only held the bouquet for a short while on my wedding day but now I can admire it always.

wedding. It was then placed around our floral art in a bigger frame. It looks great and Mary Beth was able to work with us on the design.

tiful. It is a great way for us to remember our wedding.

invitation. Just absolutely perfect job! I loved my bouquet and couldn't see it go to waste! This was the perfect idea!

re very pleasant and accommodating. I now have a beautiful way to remember my wedding flowers.

e most unique ways of preserving a bouquet I had ever seen. For girls who LOVE flowers, having your bouquet or other wedding day arrangements pressed is one of the best choices you will make. I just received my artwork back, and I am SO glad I did not go the route of drying my flowers myself or just letting them wilt away. The artwork is more detailed and beautiful than I ever expected (even after seeing what they can do!). Especially now that the wedding is over, it is one of my sweetest reminders of that day, and something that is always on display. I will truly cherish it forever. My experience working with these ladies was great as well. Mary-Beth carefully listened to which flowers I loved the most, and patiently sat with me as I selected the size, type of artwork arrangement, mat color, and frame, so that the final product was as unique to me as any other wedding decision I made. Every single petal from every type of flower in my bouquet and maid of honor's bouquet had been carefully preserved and then reconstructed back into the original flower, and then arranged in an entirely new image featuring the blooms I loved the most. I adore what they created -- there is absolutely no question about the superb quality of their work and professionalism. You can expect the best. The ONLY downside of this choice is the price. It is expensive, and may not be where you'd first choose to squeeze out the $$$ from your wedding budget. BUT I think they have a good solution -- you can pay to simply have your flowers pressed the day after the wedding for a fee of $100, and then choose your artwork style and size after your honeymoon when you have a better idea of your post-wedding budget. That gives you some time to pay for the artwork over the next few months after the wedding as your floral piece is being constructed. So I definitely found it to be worth it for all the detail that goes into it, and for the beautiful, sentimental, and unique piece of art you receive in the end. I wouldn't trade my artwork now for twice what I paid!

eth, we did the consultation and went over what flowers were going to be at the wedding, the best to save for preservation and the look I was hoping to achieve. What I loved is that I wanted something different, not just my bouquet flattened and put in a frame. They literally pressed everything I gave them (from the bouquet and table arrangments) and we created a beautiful art piece. I love it and the colors are so bright and gorgeous. Its is a little pricey ( I could only afford the 8x10 due to the price) but its something I will always cherish!
