Flowers From Lena is a professional flower preservation and floral design studio, based in Northern, Virginia and serving clients across the USA.
Flowers From Lena began as a way to both grieve and honor my sweet father in the days leading up to his passing in December 2020. Pressing flowers in my father's honor and somehow, someway, turning that into a small business feels as though it is the most natural, serendipitous chapter to have ever opened up in my life.
My father, Riad, was the kindest, most loving Palestinian man who spent his life offering inspiration and light to all. I truly believe flower preservation was his parting gift to me, to offer me a lifetime of inspiration and his continued guidance.
My sweet dad was a nature lover, he was outpouring in love & kindness. He was just as gentle as all the beauty of flowers around us. He led his life giving first and in his memory, I am constantly learning, growing, and receiving.
My father was also a very successful small business owner! He always put kindness at the center of his work. I strive to build Flowers From Lena in the same way, building trust and friendship with my clients, just as he did.
I have always had a deep gratitude and appreciation for nature, and I see floral preservation as a true gift from nature to us. I have been a pressed flower artist since 2020, creating my own techniques on floral prservation, design and color enhancing.
For me, floral preservation is an endless adventure and the process is simply magical. I enjoy perfecting my own techniques, creating new methods, and engaging in the delicacy and uniqueness of each flower, as I press them.
I have always been a very free spirted person, always looking for ways to connect with the people around me. I love art, I love connecting through art so it has been my greatest joy to launch Flowers From lena and use it as a medium to inspire and be inspired. Thank you for joining me and trusting me with these wonderful flowers!
Some fun facts: I also have obtained my Bachelor's Degree from George Mason University in Global Affairs. I work full time for an exciting marketing firm where I get to be creative and collaborative. I speak both Arabic and English and travel often to Amman, Jordan, which I consider my second home.
Again, thank you so dearly for your interest in Flowers From Lena and your trust in me as an artist. Thank you for allowing me to share my story and always honor my dearest father. I consider all my clients, wonderful friends, just like my sweet father did.
Flower Pressing is a gentle process that I have come to deeply connect with. I use multiple methods of floral preservation and have created my own techniques as I continue to work with more and more flowers. The process is slow and delicate, a consistent reminder to be present and enjoy life in the moment. The wonderful thing about flower pressing is that each and every flower is unique, even the same kind of flowers! Each flower, even each petal, need unique attention and further, each flower presses so differently in the end result. My process is always adapting to the needs of the flower and implementing various techniques that serve each specific flower best! My designs include varying methods of preservation, color restoration and enhancement within parts of the design. My special color enhancement ensures the vibrancy of your frame for all the years to come.
Floral Preservation truly is a timeless art. Since all of time, people have enjoyed pressing flowers and using them for so many various purposes. From creating art, to pressing and using edible florals, and floral dye! There is really so much to discover and learn in flower pressing! While I love creating frames for my clients, I also love to share my own processes and discoveries. Teaching the art of flower pressing is quickly becoming a new love of mine!
