For the third consecutive year, DBANDREA® has had the honor of serving as the Official Flower Preservation Partner of Miss America. This October, that partnership brought our entire team to the stage at the Written in the Stars Homecoming Gala, celebrating Miss America Regan Hutsell in her home state of Texas.
It was a night our team will never forget. Here is why.
A partnership built on the moments that matter
Our work with the Miss America Organization began with the bouquet of Madison Marsh, Miss America 2024, and has grown every year since. Today, the rose bouquets presented to Miss America and Miss America's Teen are preserved in our studio, each one color-restored by hand, petal by petal, and finished as an heirloom-quality keepsake.
The flowers a titleholder holds in her crowning moment exist for a few hours. The title lasts a lifetime. Our role is to make sure the flowers do, too.
That is what this partnership represents to us. Not a logo on a sponsor board, but the responsibility of holding onto the most photographed flowers of a young woman's life and returning them to her as art.
Three keepsakes for Regan
Regan's path to the crown ran through Texas, so her keepsakes did as well. On stage at the gala, our team presented her with three pieces, each one preserving a different chapter of her year.
Her Miss Texas yellow roses, preserved forever. The yellow roses from her Miss Texas crowning, set in our signature Texas-shaped resin piece. A piece of home she can keep on her shelf wherever the year takes her.
A Jewelry Diamond™ filled with seashells from Palm Beach. Regan was crowned the 99th Miss America in West Palm Beach, Florida, the start of a new era for the organization. We gathered seashells from that shoreline and preserved them in a Jewelry Diamond™, so the place where it all began is never far away.
A necklace preserving the confetti from both of her crowning moments. Actual confetti from the night she became Miss Texas and the night she became Miss America, preserved together in a single necklace. Two milestones, one forever keepsake.
Regan's reaction said everything we hoped it would. In her words: "Thank you for the flowers of my dreams! I will cherish these forever!"
The team behind every piece, finally on stage
Every piece we create passes through many hands. A consultation, every petal preserved, every brushstroke of color restoration, every pour, every frame, every quality inspection, and every package that leaves our studio. Each department plays a role, and most of the time, the people doing that work never get to see the moment a piece is unveiled.
So this year, our founder Andrea Cole brought the whole team with her. When it came time to present Regan's keepsakes, the entire DBANDREA team joined her on stage.
In Andrea's words: "World-class work starts with world-class people, and these are ours."
Watching our artists meet Miss America, hear her reaction firsthand, and see their work come to life beyond the walls of our studio was the highlight of the night. After years of hard work, moments like this are the reminder of why we do what we do.
What this means for your flowers
The same team that stood on that stage is the team that preserves your flowers. The same hand-painted color restoration, the same quality inspection, the same care. When Miss America trusts us with the flowers from her crowning moment, you can trust us with the flowers from yours.
DBANDREA® is entering a new era of its own. We have grown, we have evolved, and we are continuing to raise the standard of flower preservation through exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and genuine care. The homecoming gala was a celebration of Regan's year, and quietly, a celebration of how far this team has come.
Thank you to the Miss America Organization and Miss Texas for welcoming our team, and to Regan for letting us be part of her story.
