As 2025 draws to a close, we pause to reflect on a year defined by creativity, evolution, and intention at DBANDREA®. From new palettes and refined techniques to meaningful partnerships and innovative preservation experiences, every chapter of this year reinforced our purpose: transforming fleeting floral moments into enduring works of art. Each launch, milestone, and bespoke piece serves as a reminder that what we preserve is more than flowers—it is memory, emotion, and legacy.
A New Color Era
We began the year by unveiling our 2025 color palette, thoughtfully curated to complement modern interiors and contemporary wedding design. Inspired by elegance, depth, and versatility, eight new hues were introduced—expanding our customization offerings to more than 40 million possible combinations. Clients could mix, layer, or select a singular tone, creating preservation pieces that feel deeply personal and entirely their own.
Elevated Scale, Elevated Impact
In response to the growing desire for statement art, we introduced expanded matting options, offering sizes up to 28 × 32 inches (rectangle) and 28 × 28 inches (square). These larger formats allow preserved bouquets to command space with gallery-level presence, offering greater visual impact, double-matting possibilities, and refined dimension—designed for modern homes and thoughtful display.
The Brushed Frame Collection
July marked the debut of The Brushed Collection, our most refined frame edit to date. Featuring six finishes—Porcelain, Rose Gold, Aurora, Moonlight, Pewter, and Rosewood—each frame adds texture, depth, and understated sophistication. Designed to complement both pressed and dimensional preservation, the collection ensures every bloom is presented with intention and balance.
Seven Years of DBANDREA®
This summer marked seven years since DBANDREA® became our full-time mission. What began as a deep love for flowers and artistry has grown into the nation’s premier flower preservation studio, trusted by thousands across the country. To commemorate the milestone, we introduced three new offerings: the Geo Oval Floral Block (14 × 10 in.), the Geo Circle Floral Block (1 in.), and the Mosaic Bouquet Mini (5 × 7 in. pressed)—each designed to offer a distinct way to preserve meaningful blooms.
Expanding the Resin Floral Block Collection
Following our anniversary, we expanded our Resin Floral Block offerings with new shapes and sizes designed for both impact and meaning. The Emerald (9 × 6 in.), Andrea’s signature selection, offers an elongated silhouette ideal for dramatic arrangements. The Asscher (8 × 8 in.) provides a generous surface for symmetrical, statement-worthy compositions. We also introduced Cross Floral Blocks in two sizes—designed for faith-centered moments and heartfelt remembrance.
Texas Strong
Originally created in response to Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Texas Strong remains close to our hearts. In 2025, we re-released this pressed flower art print with 100% of proceeds donated to Kerr County Flood Relief. It stands as a reminder that preservation can carry purpose—honoring resilience, community, and the beauty that emerges through strength.
Two Years as an Official Miss America Partner
2025 marked our second year as the Official Flower Preservation Partner of Miss America, who celebrates leadership, achievement, and the strength of women who move the world forward—values that deeply align with our own. As an official partner, DBANDREA® preserves the flowers tied to these historic milestones with the same commitment to excellence that defines our work.
Each bouquet becomes a lasting symbol of grace, resilience, and legacy, extending far beyond coronation night. This partnership continues to be grounded in shared values and the belief that every meaningful moment deserves to be preserved beautifully.
Andrea Cole Featured in Officially HER Magazine
Our founder, Andrea Cole, was featured in Officially HER Magazine, with the story written by Robin Fleming, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Miss America Organization. This recognition celebrates turning creativity, flowers, and dreams into a thriving business and highlights the extraordinary power of women-led innovation. Andrea’s story reminds us that dreams, creativity, and determination can bloom into something truly extraordinary.
Bridal Club™: Conversations That Matter
In 2025, Bridal Club™ continued to grow into a global platform for meaningful conversation. With guests including Julian Leaver, Dr. Delphinium, Hayley Paige, and more, the podcast explored stories that resonated deeply with our audience.
This year, Bridal Club™:
- Was shared more than 97% of podcasts
- Grew faster than 89% of shows worldwide
- Ranked in the top 20% of video podcasts and top 3% globally
- Reached 18.9K monthly listeners across 15 countries
After-Glow™: A Revolutionary Way to Preserve Your Flowers
To close out the year, on 11.11, we introduced After-Glow™, one of our most innovative preservation experiences to date. Using a meticulous, light-reactive process, real flowers are hand-arranged and exposed to UV light, revealing delicate silhouettes and textures in rich indigo hues. Reminiscent of botanical x-rays and photo negatives, After-Glow™ captures the essence of a bouquet long after petals fade, preserving not just form, but feeling. Each piece is entirely one of a kind and available in 8 × 10 and 11 × 14 formats.
A Year of Gratitude
As we reflect on 2025, we are deeply grateful to our clients who entrust us with their most meaningful moments, to our partners who collaborate with us with intention, and to our community who continues to celebrate the art of preservation. Every bloom tells a story, and every story we preserve is a privilege.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to another year of beauty, creativity, and timeless keepsakes. We look forward to what 2026 will bring.
