This summer some exciting things happened over at Framed Florals. When Elisa, the owner of Maman, contacted me about hanging some frames in her new Marché Maman location, I was thrilled. Marché Maman is one of my favorite shops, & it's literally my Pinterest board come to life. (West Elm designed the secret garden in the back!) Displaying and selling these Framed Floral pieces in such a gorgeous space is simply an honor. If you're in SoHo go stop by, it's full of pretty little details & is absolutely dreamy! Framed Florals are available for purchase in store.

Framed Florals Interviews // Wedding Flower Care

I remember picking out my wedding flowers, marveling at the centerpieces, placing baby's breath in my bridesmaids hair, tossing my bouquet, driving back to Brooklyn with a car filled with flowers, and lastly pressing those same blooms. What I did with them in between, I couldn't tell you. (I'm ashamed!) And even as much as I love flowers, I can't remember what I did to ensure they didn't wilt or die the day of my wedding. Oh those wedding flowers, such an important aspect from such a momentous day! While my job is now on the other side of the wedding day, often times the next day, or day after.. I think, now more than ever, it's super important to care for those flowers to make sure they last until I get them! Remember, the better you care for your flowers, the better your Framed Floral piece will look!

Framed Florals Travels // Rome, Italy

Traveling to Italy for our honeymoon has been in the works for many.. many.. moons. We were engaged and planning a wedding nearly 3 years ago, dreaming of our special day and honeymoon to follow. That's when my husband got a letter in the mail saying his number had come up in the FDNY fire academy list, and he was on his way to becoming a firefighter. A scary and beautiful thing. The wedding still happened, albeit he was only able to take one day off for it, and we put the honeymoon on the back burner. An easy thing to add to the bottom of the To-Do list, considering his dream job just presented itself. I'll be forever grateful to the opportunities he's made for himself, and for me, and so a honeymoon was the least of my worries. That was until 2 years later, when his vacation time came up, and we were suddenly in the position to have over 2 weeks off together. Honeymoon time it was.

Framed Florals Flowers // From You to Me!

Almost two years ago, Framed Florals became a concept to me when I couldn't find someone to preserve my wedding flowers. I googled and searched all over the internet to find someone in Brooklyn to help me, and came up empty.
When I made the decision to officially launch this business, I knew I wanted to be able to serve brides, grooms, & their families, from all over, not just Brooklyn.
Thanks to USPS- that's very possible! In fact, the flowers featured traveled all the way from Los Angeles!
If you're looking to ship your flowers, here's an easy guide to do so!
