Last year on October 30, the day after our wedding, Tony and I went to my aunt and uncle's (Mark and Christa) to return their cooler we borrowed for the bridal party bus drinks. Christa's family was there and kept commenting on how beautiful and vibrant our bouquets were. They told me about Simply Home Grown down in St. Ansgar, IA that freeze dries flowers and makes them into encased arrangements.
I immediately went home, looked them up and called to set up an appointment for the next day. It takes a very long time to get this done because she waits to have a lot of flowers at once. She was concerned with the type of Gerber daisy we had in my bouquet because she's never worked with that variety.
However, this winter I went down to take a look at them after they had be freeze dried. They turned out beautifully! I then picked out how I wanted them arranged and in what encasement.
Tonight, Tony and I drove down to St. Ansgar to pick them up. I just love it!
It's beautiful! It looks sort of Victorian.
