One of the most heartfelt moments of the episode was when Ellie and Sergio unveiled Ellie’s preserved bouquet, created by dbandrea®. We had the honor of crafting a 12” Texas Floral Block for Ellie and a smaller 8” Texas Floral Block for Sergio to commemorate his first Miss Texas.

This is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this.” The preserved flowers symbolize not just a pageant victory, but a year filled with hard work, dedication, and unforgettable moments.
