A plethora of eggplant Callas
These were amazingly hearty Callas. My bride, Cathy, mailed them to me after her wedding but forgot to send them overnight express. They were in the mail for a week and still beautiful. I even had some left in a vase for another week. These photos are a good example of how the color changes on certain flowers when they a dry pressed.
This is a quick layout of the dried eggplant callas from Cathy's bouquet.
The color scheme for the wedding was diamonds, sparkle, silver and deep purple. Cathy was thinking those colors with accents of gray would be pretty in her CurlyArt painting. Also, her wedding flower jewelry will be included in the painting.
It will be fun to see the end result for Cathy's wedding flower painting! She just needs to decide whether the painting will be horizontal or vertical.

Jen's Callas
Jordan's 12 x 12 Foursome
To preserve her wedding flowers, Jordan wanted the background to match her pale blush wedding invitations. Choosing the foursome gives her several options for hanging them. They can be hung all together as shown, straight across in one line or down in one line. They can be separated in groups or hung alone.
Nadia's White Rose & Freesias with Leaves
To preserve her wedding flowers, Nadia chose a 12 x 12 canvas for her White Roses and Freesias. The lily pad like green leaves are such a nice compliment. She like the idea of having a white ribbon so I added two to represent both her and her new husband.
Here is a photo of Nadia's bouquet when it arrived for me to press. Even all white flowers press well and look pretty against colors that compliment them.
