Framed Florals’ Favorite Botanical Inspired Bridesmaid Gifts

Are your bridesmaids, lady friends, moms and moms-in-laws flower lovers? Okay, who isn’t? When it comes to gifting and gift receiving I’m first and foremost heading to the neighborhood floral shop.

But when you’re thanking the ladies in your life for all the wedding prep and support they’ve given it’s likely time to find a gift that’s ever-lasting, which is why we consulted with Lacie Porta – the floral preservation maven behind Framed Florals – for all the best botanical inspired gifts you can buy.

We’ve gushed a bit in the past about Lacie’s incredible service but we can’t help but do it again, pressing and framing your bouquet in a stylish and modern fashion, Framed Florals perserves your precious wedding bouquet forever! (Getting teary eyed just thinking about it.) We asked Lacie a few q’s about her favorite flowers (peony lovers unite!) and she’s gifted us with quite the luxurious and creative bridesmaid gift-giving advice.

What are your favorite flowers for framing or just for admiring?

All the flowers! My favorite flowers are always evolving, at the moment I’m loving giant fluffy pink peonies. Peony season is always such a short and special time, I’m sad it’s over! Ranunculus are a standby favorite. Thistle are a house favorite, I love the way they dry out in my vases in my apartment. My favorites to press are astrantia because they retain their color so nicely and press so perfectly!

Did you gift anything special to the ladies in your life for your own wedding?

The morning of my wedding I gifted my bridesmaids dainty gold necklaces. I picked them out from Vera Meat in Williamsburg. On the thin gold chain was one teeny tiny skeleton key. They all wore them at the wedding, and I loved how it in a way symbolized that they were all a key part of me. I bought one for myself too, because I’m definitely a key part of them too! Wearing it reminds me of them, and my special day.

Do you have any favorite shops in New York for fabulous gifts?

So many favorites! Home of the Brave for the most gorgeous and unique homewares. Upstate Stock for all New York made goods and lots of gifts for the boys in my life! Marche Maman where there’s always a new and interesting vendor, lots of gorgeous french brands, and the most interesting and pretty wares. Catbird when I’m in the mood to gift myself something fabulous!
