The Man of My Dreams

After a rough divorce and becoming a single mom. I finally met the man of my dreams and an amazing bonus dad for my son. After 3 y ears of dating he proposed and we started the wedding planning process and chose to marry on the date we met November 27th. Little did we know 2020 would bring the worse pandemic in a century. As a nurse, I saw the worse but held onto the hope we would still have our wedding. As November 2020 neared I realized the wedding of my dreams would not occur and instead had a virtual wedding with only my closest family in attendance. Guests would be watching from home and the flowers, special moments and wedding favors would all be viewed from their TV. I wanted to be able to capture all these moments and be able to share them with my friends and family when we all could celebrate together. That is when I found Sue’s Garden Floral Preservation and Custom Keepsakes. She was able to preserve my bouquet, flowers and special moments so that I could continue to share them for years to come. I cannot wait to display the beautiful Shadow Box at our rescheduled reception this November and to be able to display it in our new home for the years to come. 

Thank you Susie for creating my beautiful Shadow Box and preserving the memories of our special day.

About the Lilacs....

We were married on April 20th 2018 and we had originally wanted to get married in Big Sur - but it would have been as much of a destination wedding for us as for everyone else so we decided to bring Big Sur to us through our decor. It was pretty magical, I must say. The fact that you were able to preserve the bouquet and boutonnière so beautifully is so incredible. We get to save that piece of our day and it truly brings us back to those moments whenever we look at it!

Out of The Box

This trio of hearts was crafted from a box of dried bouquets from this customer’s engagement, wedding and sister’s wedding. She wanted each event to be represented by the flowers she had saved and had no idea how to make this happen. We were able to use the petals and ribbons from the three bouqeuts to create these floral hearts representing her three very specail occasions so she could disply her memories to be enjoyed by all.

Flowertales

Flowers are the colors, smells and textures of nature that grace us on all occasions.  They are the poinsettia reds of winter holidays, the pastel colors of a spring bouquet, hot white roses of summer backyards and the sunflower orange yellows of a fall harvest. 

Where there is an engagement, wedding, graduation, loss, guilt, love, anniversary, new baby, sickness or congratulations FLOWERS are many times part of the story.

Our FLOWERTALES BLog is our way of telling the stories behind each keepsake created in Sue’s Garden. Let the FLOWERTALES begin!
