Hi!!! My name is Marie-Pierre Sander. For a good two decades, I've been pouring my heart and soul into my very own Salon: Studio Marie-Pierre. It's been a passion-fueled journey like no other.

On my days off, one of my favorite hobby is to create geodes and dive into the captivating world of resin. However, my excitement took a major hit when I discovered the toxicity associated with such materials. It was a true buzzkill indeed and I stopped making my art.

Now here comes the cool part…

It all clicked during our weddings, where I kept meeting these amazing brides who had one big dream: to preserve their wedding bouquets. But with Key West being a destination wedding spot and brides flying in from all over, they couldn't carry their blooms back home. Insert heartbreak. It was like the Universe gave me a nudge, like, "Hey, make some flower magic happen!"

And that's how I stumbled upon the captivating universe of pressed flowers. Flower preservation is an intricate dance between art and science, demanding patience and unwavering dedication. Think of it like a serene meditation, where the beauty of nature meets the sheer joy of creating something awesome.

Flower pressing isn't just an art—it's an adventure. A journey where petals tell stories, and time takes a chill pill. The result? Emotions frozen in time, encapsulated in something timeless.

So, here's to the grace of petals and the fiery passion that fuels this whole escapade. Ready to join me in crafting beauty that defies time? Let's do this! 🌸🌼🌺
