This spring, Fleur Cottage had the privilege of setting up our flower cart right outside the Carnegie Hotel in Johnson City, Tennessee, during the ETSU graduation weekend. The energy in the air was electric, and our cart was buzzing with excited families picking out bouquets for their new graduates.

A memorial flower preservation piece can hold more than beauty — it can preserve memory, meaning, and love. This spring-inspired arrangement was created from blooms from a memorial tree for my mother-in-law, along with dogwood blossoms and flowers from our garden growing at the same time.
