The Atelier
The bouquet
A bouquet that never wilts, composed from the blooms of the great flower books. Your wedding bouquet recreated from the photograph. A flower for every member of a family, gathered into one urn. The blooms Redouté and Thornton and Furber drew, arranged for one particular occasion — yours.
This is the slow tier, and we won’t pretend otherwise: the composition is made by hand, you see a proof before anything is printed, and it takes two to three weeks. From $415.00 for 2 stems.
I
You choose the stems
Pick the blooms from our catalog — every one a public-domain plate you can zoom into on its own page.
II
We compose and proof
We arrange them in the manner of the old flower books, set the cartouche, and send you a proof.
III
It goes to press
Only once you’re happy. Archival pigment on cotton-rag stock, printed and framed to order.

Made to order, and honestly so: we compose the arrangement from the plates you chose, send you a proof from paintedalways@gmail.com, and take it to press only once you’re happy with it. Allow two to three weeks. Every bloom is drawn from a public-domain plate in our own catalog — nothing here is generated, and nothing is traced from work we don’t have the right to use.
Looking for one flower rather than an arrangement? Every month has its own bloom — find yours on the birth flower page.
