How to pack a wedding bouquet in transit

Forget-Me-Not Florist in Toluca Lake, CA made this packing box for Linda's wedding bouquet so that when they brought it to me it would stay cool and not get damaged. There is a water reservoir in the square cardboard box which is lined with florist wrap. Great idea!

This is a good way to bring your bouquet to me if you or were delivering it in person.
If you were shipping your bouquet you would use an ice pack instead of water.

Linda & Andrew were married on December 16, 2009 and asked me to preserve the wedding bouquet flowers. They are in press now for a couple of months. I am looking forward to creating a wonderful preservation of their wedding flowers.

Lindsay and David

Lindsay & David were married August 29th in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was fortunate enough to help TwoFoot Creative coordinate the wedding that day. Lindsay's flowers had some wonderful mum and greenery varieties which made for an interesting painting.


Lindsay's wedding flowers were preserved on a 11x14 canvas.

Painting of Susana's Paper Wedding Bouquet

Susana's wedding bouquet was made out of paper, like Origami, and she asked me to paint her bouquet from photographs which she later gave to her parents as a gift. I added a suggestion of her veil that she wore in her wedding.
This is a 12x12 painting on 1 1/2" deep canvas and was done as a gift to the bride's parents.

Here is a closeup of the paper flowers.

Celia and Bobby's Bouquet Paintings


Celia and Bobby were married on August 29th of this year. Celia chose to do a painting with her bouquet from CurlyArt for their home as well as one for her mother as a gift! I think they make phenomenal parent gifts at just $100 each with another order, it is just so much more unique than an engraved picture frame…


Celia’s painting (top) is 12×12 inches, while her mom’s painting (above) is an 8×8. The flowers used include both Celia’s bouquet as well as one of her bridesmaids’, bringing in lilies, roses, stephanotis, orchids, and berry leaves to the mix.
