Pat did a magnificent painting of my daughter in law's bridal bouquet. We gave the painting to them for their wedding gift.
"Words cannot express the excitement and emotions . They both were truly overwhelmed. Even my son, which we didn't expect. I went through the whole story of how I found Pat online and the easy way everything just flowed together from beginning to end. Yma said, "Sue you are so thoughtful" . My husband was beaming.
She said in between tears, that she was only saying to her friends, that it is such a shame that bouquets don't last and she has a photo of hers on the front of her iPhone. Yma and I are going to the framers next week when she has a day off.
I will send you a photo of when they received it and when it is framed."
The entire process was so professional. Communication between Pat in the USA and me in Australia was just so easy and the finished painting literally took our breath away.
Many thanks

Dear Pat,
My heart leaps every time I see the finished painting of my daughter's wedding bouquet. Her actual bouquet was indeed stunning, but your painting takes my breath away. If I did not know the truth, and you had told me that it was painted by one of the first Impressionist painters, I would have believed you. The flowers are lush and timeless, and I am SO glad we did this for our daughter. I can think of no other present that will evoke such beautiful memories of her wedding day, every day. She is so excited to have such a beautiful painting in her home. I had thought about having her wedding bouquet dried and put in a shadow box or glass dome, but I was not feeling good about the anticipated outcome. As you may know, no matter how you preserve flowers, they do lose much of their natural beauty in the process. Thank goodness I kept searching for ideas. Then I had a brainstorm! What about a painting of Alex's bouquet? I searched for "bridal bouquet paintings" on my computer and I discovered your web site, patfiorello.com It took me no time at all to see that you were an actual artist, not someone who did this for a hobby. When I compared the cost of freeze drying and framing her bouquet to the cost of the painting, I felt there was no way to compare the two. Dried flowers would become a frozen memory, and your painting would be something of lasting beauty. Thank you so much for working with Alex and myself in creating this wonderful gift. You could not have been nicer and you made everything happen effortlessly. It's great to work with a professional like yourself and we could not be happier with the final product. I can't wait to visit my daughter in Atlanta so we can see more of your works. Well done and thank you Pat!
Sincerely,
Margaret N., Hartford Conn
