Forever Designs by Vanessa
Hi there! Thank you so much for your interest in FDV and allowing me to introduce myself!
I don't only preserve your beautiful wedding bouquets but I have designed them as well! I have been a florist for over 10 years, so when I receive your flowers I admire your florists work & respect the design they created just for you. I know how delicate (or hardy) your flowers can be which is why every step of my process is handled with so much love & care - each piece is treated like it is my very own!
Why choose FDV?
This industry is growing, which means more options for you to choose from, I understand this and I'm here to help you distinguish that I am the right artist for you! My long experience in the floral industry allows me to help you prepare your flowers for beautiful preservation pieces. I provide instructions and tips for wedding day care as well as post-wedding day care. I am very familiar with almost every flower and how they are preserved. Not only that but my design learnings make my pieces original and different from the rest.
Nervous your flowers will come in brown and wilted? This is not something we want for your flowers, but if it happens I pride myself on my reshaping skills and my ability to bring most flowers back to life with my own techniques. I will deconstruct and then repair your flowers if needed in order to make your design PERFECT!
Your flowers will turn colors naturally through the preservation process but I won't chemically alter your flowers' colors because this keeps your flowers natural looking compared to looking like artificial silks. Their natural bruising and transparency that can occur in resin is kind of like nature's 'tiger stripes' they remind us of the special day we had & and get to look back on!
Lastly, I love that I can offer local drop-off to my NJ and NY brides! Not local? No worries! I got you covered with floral care and shipping instructions! Whether you are shipping or dropping off, your piece(s) will be handled with only love and care and preserved into timeless art pieces to show off in your home, forever.
