Hi, I’m Annah!

I’ve always been creating in some capacity. Over the years, I’ve grown my skills through painting, sewing, pottery, baking, and eventually earned an Art Therapy degree in college. But this particular journey began much earlier, when I pressed flowers as a child with my mom. I remember the fulfillment and fascination that came from successfully preserving the tiny details found in nature. Years later, once I had a toddler of my own, pressing flowers and leaves became something we experimented with together. What began as a simple educational activity quickly grew into a passion.

As I began working with a wider variety of florals, I grew to admire the delicate art of bouquet preservation. I taught myself how to prevent mold, preserve color, carefully press and dry different varieties of flowers, and eventually reassemble each bouquet petal by petal. It is a slow and intentional process, and every bouquet brings its own challenges and story.

I’m incredibly grateful to work alongside my husband, Miles, who shares my love for creating things well. When we began preserving wedding bouquets, we fell in love with the beauty of double-glass floating frames. We wanted to pair our floral work with a frame that felt just as special—something substantial, timeless, and worthy of holding such sentimental pieces.

We quickly discovered that finding high-quality, solid wood frames made specifically for floral preservation was surprisingly difficult. After many disappointing experiences with outside woodworkers, Miles decided to take matters into his own hands. Through countless hours of learning, testing, refining, and investing in the tools and materials needed to do it right, he began crafting our frames in-house.

Today, we’re proud to create beautiful, high-quality solid maple frames specifically designed to complement pressed florals. We’ve come to appreciate that framing is an art in itself, and that not every preservationist has the time, desire, or resources to learn that side of the craft.

That realization opened the door to something we never originally anticipated: providing our frames to other floral preservationists and small businesses. We’re honored to support them behind the scenes by providing thoughtfully crafted frames that allow them to focus on what they do best- preserving their clients’ most meaningful flowers and growing their businesses.

Whether your flowers are coming directly to us or you’re a preservationist using one of our frames for your own client, our goal remains the same: to create something beautiful, lasting, and worthy of the memories it holds.

Preserving and designing florals has become a reflection of the way we want to live—slowly, intentionally, and with an appreciation for the little things. When you have a piece of floral artwork in your home, my hope is that it does more than look beautiful. I hope it reminds you to slow down and cherish the details of your life: remembering someone you love, soaking in the hours with a newborn you’ve long awaited, or looking back on the beginning of a marriage and all the dreams you shared for the future.

And for the preservationists we work alongside, we hope our frames become a small but meaningful part of the heirlooms you create for others.

It is truly an honor to play a part in preserving these significant moments. Whether we are preserving your flowers or providing the frame that helps another artist bring their vision to life, we pour the same care, craftsmanship, and love into every piece.

Thank you for trusting Wild + Wilted to be part of something so meaningful.
