About this vendor
In 2020, Hope embarked on a mission that combined her passion for art with her dedication to service. As a full-time missionary, she sought a creative outlet that would also support her mission work. Thus, Olive Branch Studios was born. Initially, Hope focused on crafting pressed flower art, which quickly became a heartfelt way to raise funds for her mission efforts. It wasn't until nearly 2023 that she expanded her horizons to include the preservation of wedding bouquets, responding to the growing interest from brides who wanted to cherish their floral memories forever.
The company's humble beginnings in Hope's apartment soon grew beyond its limits. The need for more space and a dedicated team led to the transition from a small-scale operation to a bustling studio, complete with a team of talented designers and floral preservation specialists.
In late 2023, Carly joined Olive Branch Studios, bringing her background in marketing and wedding photography into the fold. Carly and Hope had met in 2022 and quickly became friends. With Carly's help on the business side, Hope could focus on what she loved most—creating beautiful art. Their partnership has been instrumental in the company's growth, transforming it from a side hobby into a leading name in floral preservation.
Olive Branch Studios has evolved significantly since its inception. From a simple art project, it has grown into a vibrant business serving the wedding industry and beyond. With a larger location and an expanded team, the company now handles a high volume of floral preservation work, ensuring that each bouquet receives the care and artistry it deserves.

I’m writing this after multiple attempts to resolve this issue on my own in the last few months. . My goal is to prevent another bride from experiencing what happened to my wedding bouquet.
The dates may seem extreme but apparently they were running a few months behind which of course was communicated after I kept reaching out. In late December 2023, I booked this vendor to preserve my wedding bouquet, paying approximately $450. With shipping and other costs, I’ve lost over $550. I chose them because they emphasized color preservation and longevity in their work.
After months of waiting, I finally received my bouquet in September 2024, YES it took almost a year! I immediately noticed the colors were severely faded—far worse than expected—and the flowers didn’t even resemble my original bouquet. Something I had communicated with them in previous emails when they sent a photo update. But seeing it in person just disgusted me. I also sent my invitation to be included originally but they say they never got that. My main heartbreak is despite their claims of color and bouquet preservation that was not delivered.
Now, just months later, my bouquet is molding. I reached out to them in Dec of 2024 just 2 1/2 months after receiving my “persevered” bouquet. I sent pics of their work and the mold that was growing inside the sealed frame. I’ve attached photos for reference. Despite reaching out with my concerns, I have received no response. Due to how long ago this transaction was completed Im out all my money. If you book someone I would caution against paying upfront for such a long drawn out process…. Note they did not tell me they were running months behind until I reached out to them.
I’m sharing this to warn others: choose a vendor who values your investment and understands the sentimental importance of preserving your bouquet. Spare yourself the disappointment and expense.
I am so happy with how my pressed bouquet came out! The Olive Branch team was easy to communicate with and they were so pleasant to work with. I live in Florida and was able to have a friend drop my bouquet off at their office the day after the wedding, but they do give you detailed shipping instructions if that’s your best option so there is no added stress to do this. Just plan ahead! This is such a unique and beautiful investment to do for yourself after your wedding that will hang on the wall forever as a piece of art and it’s so worth it! I did the 16x20 oak wood frame.
I am in love with my pressed flowers!! Olive Branch Studios was extremely fast with their response time and worked with me even when I had sent in my flowers late! They were SO friendly and determined to make this an amazing process. They took layout revisions well since I’m picky with certain things and it only took one round of revisions and it came out perfect! When receiving my art piece it was carefully packaged and now hangs in my home and I love having it up to remember my wonderful wedding day! I found them on tik tok and Instagram super amazing work!
Hope is AMAZING! I found her via TikTok and she has been so sweet from our first interaction. The shipping instructions were super easy & straightforward. She kept me up-to-date on everything, from when she got my flowers, to when she was beginning to design, to double-checking that I loved the design. The frame was delivered in such safe packaging and I can't wait to hang it up. I highly recommend Olive Branch Studios if you're looking to preserve your wedding bouquet in a special way.
Excellent communication, very professional, and the pressed bouquet turned out beautifully! We couldn't be happier.
I was a last minute bride so I was very nervous about not being able to book but Hope was so sweet from the beginning and she got back to me right away. She updated me throughout the whole process, from when the flowers first arrived to her, to letting me know when they were getting pulled from the press, to showing me designs to approve, and finally when to expect the flowers to be shipped back. She was so sweet in every interaction I had with her. I asked her for a redesign and she didn’t even bat an eye before saying “no worries!” After all the stress of the wedding, it was so nice to have someone who made the process feel so effortless and easy. I got married in late March and received my flowers back early June so the turnaround time is not bad at all and honestly seeing the designs that she sends you through emails just made me more excited to get the frame back. The frame was neatly packaged to ensure that it got to me safely. Thank you Hope! 🫶
I don’t even know where to begin. Hope helped me recreate my wife’s bouquet for our one year wedding anniversary with so much ease and thoughtfulness. Hope and I have talked about how much this means to us because we dropped the ball on pressing the original one. I originally asked for the 8x8 frame and she got that idea back to me and I loved it so much I wanted an 11x11 and she whipped me up a new design in no time. I’m so grateful and so blown away about how quick this came out and my order shipped with ease and with tracking. I’ve told all my friends and family that they don’t have to look anywhere else when it comes to preserving your flowers. Hope is the one.
Preserving my bouquet wasn’t something I thought about until after my reception was over and I was getting sentimental about it all being over. My florist recommended Hope and my planner sent my bouquet to her while we were on our honeymoon. Hope is amazing. She is so bubbly, kind, and instantly makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever! She sends you frequent updates on your bouquet and where it is on the process and then puts together multiple designs for YOU to choose from and/or tweak to make it look exactly how you want. I’m so glad I was connected to her and now we will always have some of our wedding flowers in a frame to remember how perfect the day was!! Thanks, Hope!
Gorgeous preservation!!! I am so happy I found Hope on Instagram. She was such a joy to work with and highly communicative throughout the process. I ordered and sent my bouquet post-wedding and she was still able to accommodate and create a beautiful preservation. Highly highly recommend!!
My flowers were preserved beautifully! I love, love, love them. I cannot recommend OliveBranchStudios enough. Everything about my experience was absolutely wonderful. Thank you again for your incredible work!
I called so many florist shops to try and find someone who could preserve my wedding bouquet and was having no luck. I found florists who could press the greenery and roses, but the tricky part was finding someone who could do the succulents and cactus too. I thought it wouldn’t be possible.
Then I was referred to Olive Branch Studios and cried when she told me she could do it. Even the cactus! I was so excited! She was so wonderful to work with, kept me updated during the whole process and did a beautiful job. I am so thankful to have this beautiful bouquet and memory of our day forever. It is absolutely perfect on our wall. I highly recommend Olive Branch Studios, you will not regret it.
Hope is so, so talented and so communicative, and her beautiful work was such a special way to preserve my wedding bouquet. I couldn't be happier with the results. Hope is amazing!
Absolutely recommend getting your flowers pressed with Hope! She is so kind and helpful and I am so happy with how my flowers turned out!
Hope was amazing in taking my last-minute bouquet from my elopement. She communicated throughout the whole process, and I couldn't be happier with how my florals turned out!
Hope was a dream to work with. From initially contacting her with questions to her communicating closer to the event and finally completing my project. She sent multiple photos during the process and ensured I'd absolutely loved my frame. Everyone who has seen it loves it as well. It's such a great reminder of the best day.
Olive Branch Studios did an incredible job preserving my bouquet. Hope was so kind and communicative throughout the entire process. My bouquet was being delivered to the US from Italy, which made the idea of having it preserved a bit more stressful. Hope gave me simple instructions and kept me in the loop throughout the entire design. My piece came out BEAUTIFUL. I can't thank her enough!!
Olive Branch Studios did a beautiful job creating a special keepsake from a funeral. Hope is so personable and quick to respond. I wish I knew of her when I got married!
