We will press, preserve and re-create your Bridal Bouquet into
a treasured
masterpiece for all
time.
the far left picture has fabric from the Bride's gown or you may opt to have a photo
included OR you may choose to have your flowers artistically arranged "freestyle".
We also do the attendants' bouquets (answers the everlasting
"what shall I get my attendants?" question), corsages of
the mothers or grandmothers of the bride or groom or any
other special wedding flowers. These are the most thoughtful and unique
gifts for the Bridal Party. In addition, if you want to give a "pre-wedding" flower
preservation gift, as in a shower gift, rehearsal dinner,
or bridesmaid luncheon gifts..... Waterford Past-Thymes offers lovely
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Our exclusive technique preserves each component of your bouquet individually, thus insuring the shape, color
and longevity.
Your wedding flowers are photographed on arrival, so they can be
reproduced as closely as possible to the shape of your bouquet,
if that is your wish. (One may also opt to have their wedding flowers surround their invitation or photo OR have their flowers artistically
arranged "freestyle".)
When constructed the flowers are arranged on foam-board covered with a layer of batting, your choice of material and frame, then sealed completely to preserve
their continued splendor.
THE PROCESS:
After the flowers are preserved and ready to frame, (about 2 weeks) we loosely lay your flowers
out in the arrangement, on the fabric, and in
the frame you’ve specified, (however, we usually lay out other options, as well, because VERY often the bride changes her frame/fabric/arrangement
decision when she has a visual image in front of her). Ribbon, fabric from your dress or veil, the groom's boutonnière etc may also be added (at no additional cost to you).
Each presentation is then photographed and emailed to you. (We refer to this as the ‘DEMO” stage.)
These digital images are VERY ROUGH DRAFTS! This is to further insure your preservation is perfect for YOU. When we receive the final
approval for the specified chosen arrangement, we begin the final construction. The balance is due upon completion and your preservation is shipped
to you free of charge via UPS.
For your convenience (again, at no additional cost to you) we will send you our
BRIDAL BOUQUET BOX
for the shipment of your flowers to us. See
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
for details.
***Note: As a complimentary service to you***
If you live within a 20 mile radius of the Leesburg, VA area
we can pre-arrange to pick up your wedding flowers and deliver your framed preservation
to you when completed.
