Wedding Bouquet Preservation in Ohio
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Honest Bloom Studio.
Your flowers deserve to be more than a memory in a photograph. As an artisan florist and flower preservationist based in Medina County, Ohio — serving the Cleveland and Akron area and welcoming flowers from across the U.S. — I specialize in transforming wedding bouquets, memorial arrangements, and special event flowers into heirloom pressed flower art and cherished keepsakes. Each piece is crafted with care, so its beauty endures long after the celebration.
For the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of flower preservation, working with dried and pressed flowers to create custom botanical gifts and pressed flower keepsakes that honor sentimental memories. From bridal bouquet preservation to memorial flower art, I approach every design with artistry and precision, giving flowers a second life as timeless heirlooms.
I take pride in using flowers grown on our farm for many of my pressed and dried flower art pieces, and when I can’t, I strive to source locally grown blooms to create meaningful botanical art. My work is about more than preservation; it’s about connection, sustainability, and self‑expression. To honor those principles, I also offer creative, botanical, & nature-based workshops, inviting you to explore the joy of pressed-flower art and experience the enduring beauty of pressed blooms.
Thanks for visiting & keep blooming!
Lauren,
Artisan Florist & Flower Preservationist
