Articrafts Floral Preservation — Local services in Greenwich

Since first meeting Lisa Bologna at a bridal show in Stamford in 1994, I have been an enthusiastic client and fan. The first piece was my daughter's bridal bouquet pressed into an oval gilt-edged frame. Based on our experience with Lisa and the beauty and endurance of that piece, in the last 21 years, I have gifted at least 30 brides with preservations done by Lisa. In each case, Lisa offered pre-wedding personal consultation to the bride to select frame, style, backing, etc. Completion of the piece was always timely and ALWAYS a work of art!! Over the years, I have watched Lisa’s toolbox expand – adding more varied frames and moving beyond flat pressed arrangements, to freeze-drying (where she recreates the original bouquet for display behind a bubble-glass frame). And her service is unsurpassed. Recently my daughter’s home was being rebuilt after a total fire loss and I wanted to replace her original 21 year old floral piece as a house warming gift. Working from photographs and archival files – Lisa made this dream come true. Quite selfishly, I hope to go to many more weddings in the future – as my joy when seeing the exuberant reaction of a bride upon seeing her finished piece, is...

I looked into preserving my bridal bouquet before my wedding but realized it was just way too out of budget for me. After my wedding I just couldn’t get over how pretty my flowers were and how much I wanted to keep them as a keepsake. I started to look for places that weren’t crazy expensive but would still take them ASAP, then I found Lisa. Wow, blown away is the best way I can describe my preserved bouquet. My whole experience with her was amazing. She got back to me right away, she was pretty much full for the season but knew they were dying as each day passed so she offered to take them. We met and went over the details and she did it! She brought my beautiful florals back to life. I couldn’t begin to thank her enough for giving me such a beautiful piece of my wedding day to display in our home forever. Thank you Lisa for being such a sweet and wonderful artist to work with. Pictures could never reflect how beautiful it really looks. ...

I cannot put into words how amazing my 3-D bouquet came out. Wedding planning is stressful enough, never mind to think of spending thousands of dollars on floral arrangements that die within a few days. Luckily, before that happened I found Lisa at Articrafts floral preservation and boy she did NOT disappoint. After researching several other companies that do this, I knew Lisa was the best of the best. From the first time we talked until the day I picked up my bouquet she kept me in the look and was SO easy to work with. Right away I instantly knew she genuinely loves what she does and she’s great at it! She just gave me one of the most memorable things from my wedding and because of her I get to keep them forever. They look exactly like they did the day of the wedding several months later, absolutely incredible. I highly reccomend using this company for all of your floral preservation needs, I promise you won’t be...
