Preserved, with care

Just Because

What Was Blooming Then preserves the flowers of a particular season or year, creating a keepsake that reflects when a meaningful moment unfolded rather than recreating the event itself.

This offering is especially meaningful when flowers were not part of the original moment, or when time has passed. By working with blooms that were unfolding during the same season, the piece acknowledges how personal milestones often take shape alongside the natural world—held through what was growing then.

Each piece is thoughtfully composed and preserved to last, serving as a quiet marker of a shared moment in time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer a range of preserved floral pieces designed to mark meaningful moments. Services include custom preservation from a client’s own flowers (such as wedding, memorial, or milestone arrangements), as well as made-to-order designs using homegrown or thoughtfully sourced florals.

    Offerings may include:

    • Pressed flowers framed between glass

    • Gel wax candles featuring preserved flowers

    • Clear resin–molded décor with preserved florals

    • Custom event details, including place cards and signage made with real pressed flowers

    • Standalone preserved floral pieces available without customization

    Each piece is created with attention to longevity, proportion, and the integrity of the materials.

  • You don’t need to have flowers from a specific moment in order to create a meaningful piece. I offer preserved floral work that reflects a particular season or year, allowing clients to mark a milestone through the flowers that were blooming at the same time.

    This approach honors the idea that personal milestones and natural cycles unfold together. The resulting piece becomes a quiet marker of when something mattered—whether or not flowers were part of the original moment.

  • Begin by submitting an inquiry through the form on this page. I’ll follow up to learn more about your timeline, the flowers involved (if applicable), and the type of piece you’re considering. From there, we’ll determine what approach makes the most sense and confirm next steps.

    For time-sensitive preservation—such as after a wedding or event—reaching out as early as possible is recommended.

  • This work is not about decoration—it’s about holding meaning. Each piece is designed with restraint and care, allowing the flowers and the moment they represent to remain central.

    I approach preserved florals as keepsakes rather than trends, prioritizing balance, clarity, and longevity. The goal is not to recreate an event, but to preserve its essence in a way that feels quiet, thoughtful, and enduring.

  • Pricing is a mix of set pricing for certain offerings and custom pricing for made-to-order or preservation-based work. For custom pieces, pricing typically varies by scale, materials, and level of complexity.

    If helpful, I can provide a general price range once we’ve discussed what you’re envisioning. Final pricing is always confirmed before any work begins.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • Working together is calm, collaborative, and thoughtful. I take time to understand what you’re marking and what feels appropriate, without rushing the process or over-directing decisions.

    You can expect clear communication, care with timelines and materials, and an approach that values restraint as much as creativity. Whether the piece is highly personal or simply meaningful in a quiet way, the process is designed to feel grounded and respectful from start to finish.
