Preserved beauty

Have you thrown your bridal bouquet and more or less made others happy with it or has it been dried and the once beautiful piece now leads a rather gray-brown existence? Andrea Nittnaus from Gols wants to put an end to this and has specialized in creating pictures from bouquets. 

She herself got married five years ago and her bouquet of meadow flowers stands dried in her workshop. "More as a cautionary tale of how not to do it," laughs the woman from Gols. Because she is not happy with her dried bouquet. That is about to change, but let's start by telling the story of her creativity from the beginning. Because it all started with Andrea's love of meadow flowers. "When we were building, poppies, camomile and other beautiful flowers bloomed behind our house. I wanted to preserve them for myself. That's why I pressed them," explains the Parndorf native.
