The Story of Your Love Folded into Book Bouquets
The professionalism and care given to our project was absolutely top notch. We could not have asked for a better artist to work with, and she went above and beyond to make our day special with the decorations she made, to day nothing of her wonderful personality. We would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone, and would choose her again in a heartbeat.
Jackie is a wonderful and talented person to work with. My wedding was centered around anime and we were hoping for each table to have something anime related so when she first presented her idea to us... I was astounded. She suggested we can give our anime vases with anime flowers away as a wedding gift to our guests and I couldn't give away the anime vases lol. She is so amazing that she provided some of her decorations that we used for my wedding! It was a book lovers dream! My bouquet was everything I wanted and more. This review alone does not express how grateful I am to her.

Original Zen Collective is a wedding floral company in Long Beach, CA that arranges creative arrangements by transforming recycled books into unique book bouquets. For your big day, this team can prepare everything from bespoke corsages and boutonnieres to breathtaking bouquets and stunning centerpieces. They also offer delivery and setup services at your venue for your convenience.
Couples can choose what book is used for their arrangements that best reflects their personal story, which adds a thoughtful touch to their special day. Guests will actually fight over who takes home the centerpieces for once, rather than begging people to take one, so you have less to clean up. After your wedding, trust me to turn your bouquet and florals into a large framed piece that you can hang on your wall to forever remember the day you said yes. Choose the color of your frame and a custom message to fit your home decor. The piece will continue to be a major talking point anytime a guest / loved one sees it… even the most stubborn of in-laws will ask you about it.
Let’s create floral arrangements that help tell the story of how you fell in love using book bouquets. It is the unique and creative twist for your wedding that you have yet to see any of your friends do. Original Zen Collective can truly add a soft, boho, romantic touch to your fairytale.

Hello! I’m Jaclyn. I started making flowers from recycled books for my own sister’s wedding as a gift during her Bridal Shower. When my aunt, who is an avid art collector, insisted on taking one of the centerpieces home and displayed it in her home I realized I was onto something. Since then, I’ve made hundreds of book bouquets as gifts and for special events. I cannot wait to make your big day extra special and memorable with my Book Bouquets.
