In 2020, Hope embarked on a mission that combined her passion for art with her dedication to service. As a full-time missionary, she sought a creative outlet that would also support her mission work. Thus, Olive Branch Studios was born. Initially, Hope focused on crafting pressed flower art, which quickly became a heartfelt way to raise funds for her mission efforts. It wasn't until nearly 2023 that she expanded her horizons to include the preservation of wedding bouquets, responding to the growing interest from brides who wanted to cherish their floral memories forever.

The company's humble beginnings in Hope’s apartment soon grew beyond its limits. The need for more space and a dedicated team led to the transition from a small-scale operation to a bustling studio, complete with a team of talented designers and floral preservation specialists.

In late 2023, Carly joined Olive Branch Studios, bringing her background in marketing and wedding photography into the fold. Carly and Hope had met in 2022 and quickly became friends. With Carly’s help on the business side, Hope could focus on what she loved most—creating beautiful art. Their partnership has been instrumental in the company’s growth, transforming it from a side hobby into a leading name in floral preservation.

Olive Branch Studios has evolved significantly since its inception. From a simple art project, it has grown into a vibrant business serving the wedding industry and beyond. With a larger location and an expanded team, the company now handles a high volume of floral preservation work, ensuring that each bouquet receives the care and artistry it deserves.

At Olive Branch Studios, our mission is to transform the beauty of life’s most significant moments into lasting keepsakes through skilled floral preservation.
