We at Dublin Floral Creations...
... use flowers grown organically in our gardens here in Williamsburg, Virginia. We take great pride in growing, pressing, and designing these elegant creations which add an old-world charm to anyone's decor.You can choose from a wide array of designs and sizes to fit all your specific needs.
They make a uniquely ideal gift for the new homeowner, the garden enthusiast, or that special someone who has just about everything. While the designs may appear to be the same, there are subtle differences with each one. Mother Nature does not make all flowers exactly the same and this makes each design a truly original work of art that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
We have developed special techniques for pressing our garden flowers so their colors will last for decades. We also use UV protective acrylic instead of glass, which helps prevent fading. Each flower is secured in place to ensure the design will be maintained.
