    I love seeing my bouquet on the wall every day!

    Melissa did an amazing job on my bouquet! It is pricy at $400-500 per piece, but I don't think it's over-priced or more than normal. This is a work-intensive and creative process and it was worth every penny. I love looking at my pressed flowers every day on the wall! Opt for this and not the creepy full bouquet preservation that some florists do.

    Shelagh, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! I'm so glad you love your bouquet and it was a pleasure working with you! -Melissa

    My pressed wedding bouquet is absolutely stunning! It was so easy to make changes to the "rough draft" provided to me... the only hard part was deciding which one to go with! I literally had 10 different versions to choose from that I would have been 100% happy with. This is such a neat product that I would recommend for any bride to do in order to preserve her bouquet in an elegant manner.

    My daughter's wedding bouquet was gorgeous! What a joy to see it preserved in a frame...not just because it is beautiful, but because it holds wonderful memories of her special day! What a unique keepsake!

    My Mom re-married in 2002 and had her flowers preserved and framed by Waterford Past Thymes. Her bouquet remains just as beautiful as when she had it framed. When I got married in June 2009 there was no question as to what I wanted to do with my bouquet after my wedding.

    It was a pleasure working with Betty and Elizabeth. We met in person with Betty once to discuss what we wanted, after that they kept us involved in the process and sent us pictures of "mock ups" of different frames...in the end we left it in their hands and it came out beautifully.

    They are quick to respond to requests and do a lovely job on a thoughtful, beautiful, one of a kind gift, perfect for any occasion (but especially nice for weddings).

    I am so thrilled to be able to provide this review for Betty at Waterford Past-Thymes. Betty preserved my bridal bouquet and turned my horrible experience with my florist and my flowers into something beautiful. Betty was funny and kind and really helped to turn a bad situation into a beautiful memento of my otherwise amazing wedding. My preserved flowers are even more beautiful than the ones I carried down the aisle, and I am so pleased! I only wish that I had planned in advance to have my mother's flowers and my mother-in-law's flowers preserved. It would have made a terrific gift!

    My daughter-in-law was absolutely thrilled to receive her bouquet pressed and framed! This was our gift to her and our son. Her flower bouquet was gorgeous and still is today - what a great way to preserve the memories and beauty of their wedding day! Thank you Waterford Past-Thymes!

    it's the best, most creative and lasting thing I have ever seen done with flowers. I enjoy my wedding invitation surrounded by the flowers from my bouquet daily, and I have no doubt that my children and grandchildren will be admiring it for all the years to come in our family.

    Waterford Past-Thymes does excellent work. What a wonderful way to preserve and keep our bridal bouquets. Betty and Melissa have unbelievable talent and created a beautiful piece of artwork with my bouquet and wedding invitation.

    BRIDES BEWARE! I woud not use this company to have your bouquet preserved . You will not only be disappointed with the results you can never get that bouquet back for somebody to do it right. My "picture" came out brown flowers looking like it was just smushed with a object. Creases everywhere. It should have been minimal creases. My family has had 3 down in the past by a real professional. I had a phone conversation explaining I wanted a natural/ivory background since my dress was ivory. Apparently the lady ( Melissa) did not listen one bit. When I got my demo pictures ( which were only 2- one oval and one rectangle), I was pleased with the background cause in the picture it was a rich ivory look. I was excited that the pictures come out well my sister had her bridesmaid bouquet done too and it was horrible in the pictures she kept on emailing them back and they sent new pictures. When I finally got my picture in the mail it was awlful- It had a white satin background with lots of brown edges on the flowers. Not even showing the essense of the bouquet at all. My sisters looked better then mine. I guess because she complained alot they gave hers more attention which is sad. So when I email them to let them know I was disappointed and wanted to have clarity why the background was different. I got a rude response saying the sent numerous pictures THEY ONLY SENT 2 ( one oval one rectagular) to get my approval and in regards to the background they said I never said anything about ivory/natural WHICH I DID THAT WAS IN MY PHONE CONVERSATION. and they blamed the coloration of the pictures on the computer screen variation. MY DEMOS WHERE DISPLAYED ON SEVERAL COMPUTERS BY SEVERAL PEOPLE, WHICH THEY ALL SAY IT WAS DIFFERENT THEN WHAT I RECEIVED. They need to review the pictures before sending to make sure there if no differences cause thats all I had to go by. APPARENTLY THIS COMPANY HAS LOST THEIR TOUCH OR HAS TAKEN ON TOO MUCH. CAUSE MY BOUQUET DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANY OF THE ONES IN THE GALLERY. FROM ONE BRIDE TO ANOTHER DON'T WASTE YOUR BOUQUET OR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY.
