About us

Over a decade ago, a love of floral design very quickly grew into a passion....and as my husband will say, a serious obsession.

I have always loved working with all types of flowers, but my true joy is creating designs using naturally dried and preserved flowers.  There is a science to growing and preserving flowers and an art form in using them to create floral designs.  The challenge of both is what I thrive on!

Dried Flowers Forever is a small family business in the truest sense.  I am the floral designer, amateur  photographer, and web designer.  My husband, Lance, is the one who creates the final amazing arrangements that everyone "oohs" and "ahhs" about and ships them out in a timely manner.  So really, he is WAY more important than me.  

We have three teenage children who have worked with flowers since they were toddlers and can name most flowers, domestically grown or wild, on sight.  Poor kids!!  They take great pride in our family business, and I hope it will instill a strong work ethic and appreciation for all things natural and beautiful.

We have had the immense pleasure of creating floral arrangements for over 3,000 weddings and special events.  Internationally, we ship to our friends in the North to all territories of Canada and across the Atlantic to Ireland, England, and Norway.  

Thank you for taking an interest in our online store.  Besides our online presence and reputation, we use client referrals (the oohs and ahhs matter to us) as our main means for spreading the word about our products.  To learn more about us, you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or visit us at our brick & mortar studio at 633 Struck Street in Madison, WI and say, “hello" in person.    

Cheers!
