Hi, I’m Heather Albers. I started NaturedSTL after a long time obsession with gardening. This eventually led to me pressing some of my own homegrown flowers. I had so much fun with that, I started making and selling cards, wall art, and other small pressed flower gifts. Because of my fascination with everything to do with weddings (even though my own wedding was 8 years ago!), I eventually tried my hand at pressing bridal bouquets and fell in love with the process. I love everything from the surprise of what the bouquet will look like, to the pressing, to the design process, to the final finishing touches. I love working with brides but I also love creating a special memorial for someone who has lost someone special.

When I’m not preserving your special bouquets, I enjoy spending time outside with my husband and our three little boys.
