Recreating A Wedding Bouquet Painting For Kristen

Kristen discovered my blog with my preserved wedding flower paintings long after she was married. I told her that I could recreate her bouquet by buying them myself and then set them in to press. She gave me a list of all the flowers that were in her wedding, then when I went to the flower mart we worked on matching the colors and size of the flowers via cell phone.

I then sent her photos of the flowers I purchased to make sure she was satisfied with the colors and began pressing them. Once they were ready to take out of press I worked with her on what background color(s) she wanted and which style of painting she liked best.

Kristen chose a 16 x 20 horizontal canvas which flowed nicely with her flowers.

The actual colors of the flowers usually change once pressed, but purples are still very lovely after pressing.
