“I was SO excited to get my flower preservation back, and the final result absolutely exceeded my expectations! The frame and matting selections were superb, and I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. Ana's expert arrangement of the flowers is incredible—I can't even begin to fathom how much time and effort went into the entire process and the final design itself. I am so excited to hang this on my wall, where I am sure it will receive tons of questions and compliments!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Ana! She preserved my wedding bouquet so beautifully, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, her communication was consistent, professional, and reassuring, which made me feel confident that my flowers were in the best hands. It took longer than she and I expected but it was completely worth it. The final product is absolutely stunning.
Every detail of my bouquet was captured and arranged perfectly, allowing me to relive the joy of my wedding day every time I see it. It’s clear how much care, artistry, and attention to detail goes into Ana’s work. This is a keepsake I will treasure forever and I am so grateful I found Bloom and Make for such a special project.
I highly recommend Ana to anyone who wants to preserve their florals from any occasion in a timeless and meaningful way!”
