About artist
Hello, my name is Anastasia, and I’m the designer and founder of Eight Acorns Floral Preservation Company. I’m a gardener, artist, botanical enthusiast, and a lover of all things natural. My deep connection to nature inspires every piece I create, from floral jewelry to custom art, as I strive to preserve and showcase the delicate charm of each bloom.
I started creating floral jewelry as a way to preserve my ever-growing collection of botanical treasures. The beauty of the plants I gathered from local woods and flower fields sparked my passion for finding ways to preserve them, allowing their charm to be enjoyed for years to come.
Floral preservation is an ancient art, originating with insects and plants naturally becoming fossilized in tree resin. Today, we continue this inherited technique, adding a purposeful, artistic touch to honor nature’s timeless beauty.
During the cold and dreary East Coast winters, my studio becomes my dreamy floral escape—a place filled with beauty and color. In the spring and summer, you can usually find me outside, gathering new plant collections.
Through my products, I aim to capture that long-awaited feeling of spring and the beauty of a blooming meadow. I want to recreate the experience of a walk in the woods, a stroll on the beach, or a visit to your favorite garden or nature spot. We all know that Mother Nature heals, and she has a way of reminding us that everything is going to be alright.
During the 2020 pandemic, I started a garden with a strong focus on growing perennials, which allowed me to expand my product line. I began offering unique wall art made from home-grown flowers preserved in glass. Gardening provided a much-needed, socially distant escape and an almost limitless supply of plants and flowers to work with—oh, the possibilities!
I also branched out into custom preservation after receiving many inquiries from brides wanting to preserve their bouquets. It’s truly an honor to earn the trust of my customers and help them preserve their cherished memories for a lifetime. We combine traditional preservation techniques with modern design, transforming flowers into timeless keepsakes. Whether it’s a bouquet from a special day or flowers handpicked from a favorite spot, each piece reflects my deep love for nature and my desire to help others hold on to their most cherished memories.
Today, Eight Acorns Preservation Company is a family-run business offering a wide variety of floral products, with custom preservation as our main focus. We feel incredibly fortunate to share our work with people all around the world!
