Give the Gift.....

The holidays are coming up and if you are like me, you know someone who is impossible to buy gifts for. They either already have everything you can think of or they are picky about what they want and will likely re-gift whatever you get them. Let me help you help them! At Andrea Knapp Designs we now offer gift cards. They don't expire, they can be for any amount you want and are easy to purchase. You simply pick the amount, and leave the rest to us. They will receive an email with all the info you give us ~ a personal message for example ~ and then they can choose whatever they want to buy! We have jewelry, house decor, planters, keychains, wall art etc., SO many things to choose from that anyone would be hard pressed to NOT find something they'd like.

So take the load off as we get closer to the Holiday season! Let us help you get the gift they'll treasure.

Preserving Your Wedding Bouquet and Florals

I design and create GORGEOUS keepsakes using the flowers from your wedding or any other event that you want to remember. After discussing with you exactly what kind of keepsake you are looking for, whether it's a tray, bowl, candle holders or coasters etc, we will go over which flowers you want to keep, which ones you want to be more prominent and then I'll take it from there. We can press the flowers before we creatively design the layout and put them in your keepsake, or we can carefully dry them using silica/sand and keep them in as much 3D form as we can. This way they can be displayed whoever you want to enjoy for years to come.

Flowers are a big investment regardless of what event you use them for, so being able to keep them and display them and look at them when you want is a huge plus.

If you have some flowers that you want preserving, shoot me a message or give me a call and we'll chat about how I can best help you keep the memories!

Planters Now Available

It's only recently that I have grown to having something that remotely resembles a green thumb! When the pandemic started in 2020, we all had extra time on our hands what with being in lockdown. Given that my primary job was photography which meant being out and about I DEFINITELY had extra time. My husband - somewhat begrudgingly built me a greenhouse - which is a whole other blog post LOL - and while he was doing that, I built a small pond area that had room for plants to be grown around it. Given that we live in South Carolina AND the fact that there was no shade whatsoever, the main plants around the pond were succulents or other such hardy greenery. The greenhouse was more for seedling starters. I grew cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc and it was fun!

Then we moved house.

The place we are at now already has dedicated plants and shrubbery that I don't want to move or get rid of. It DOES have a GORGEOUS sun room though that I'm actually finding I prefer, to being outdoors where it's hot and humid. Did I mention we live in South Carolina? I realized that I could make my own planters that matched exactly what I was looking for, plus I could make them vibrant, I could put lights in them if I wanted (which in turn also made them adaptable for kids bedrooms etc.,) so I got to work doing just that. My sun room is slowly but surely getting filled with amazing planters AND plants!

Using concrete, aqua-resin and simple resin there are several styles to choose from.

I have several already made and if you don't see what you want in the store, shoot me a message and we can make one that fits just right!!!
