About

Hello, my name is Brenda Plates and I am owner of Keepsake Silk Flowers and lead designer.

We at Keepsake Silk Flowers offer you the bride complete customization and personal attention for your important day. I work out of my home and only employ the most knowledgeble and personable people to help me make your day as special as it can be. Within the St. Petersburg area I will personally deliver all the pieces to your locations and pin-on so all your guests can enjoy this day. In other neighboring areas other options are available.

As owner I have over 20 years experience in floral design as well as party coordination.

I love flowers and since I live in St Petersburg, Florida I do not get to grow all the fabulous ones that nature offers, so I design weddings using every beautiful one. I like to add special touches that have meaning to the happy couple such as family heirlooms and rhinestone initials and I enjoy vintage styles as well as modern ones. I only use the best flowers not walmart or dollar store.
What I offer is bouquets, groomsman flowers, corsages, fairy balls, chair swags, centerpieces, cake toppers, cake table decorating, Limo flowers, baskets, rose petals, hair pieces and custom veils, pew/chair bows plain or with flowers, swarovski crystals, gems, charms and bead accents in bouquets. Once you check out my photos here or on facebook, you will see that I decorated a cake in fresh red roses! It was the talk of the reception and I have received many referrals just from that one piece. So I do work with fresh but on a very small scale since I do not have room for coolers at my home studio.

In these economic times Silk Flowers really provide a wonderful solution to throwing your money away on real ones. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE real flowers but just think about what you can do. Yes you can rent from me centerpieces OR we can make them so that you can give them away to special people as gifts or raffles at the end of the night. We can buy IKEA vases which are stylish and inexpensive and add submersible tea lights and your flowers, it is a beautiful arrangment especially at night and what a special thought that would be for all who get to take a special memento home!

So please call me 727-501-2647, email me at brenda@keepsakesilkflowers.com or check out my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Keepsake-Silk-Flowers/126650223914?ref=ts and see my photos there. My website www.keepsakesilkflowers.com where I regularly add new photos in my slideshow and give locations where my desgins are on display. I would love to make your vision come to reality, so call me!
Regards!!
Brenda

The flowers that Brenda fashioned for me are way beyond my expectations!
I am the sister of the groom, and wanted to give the newlyweds a keepsake from me for their wedding. I decided to purchase the flowers for that purpose. I was working with another vendor who called me on 12/11 saying that she could not deliver the order on time. That's when I called Brenda. I never met with her in person. I just described to her on the phone what the bride wanted. Incredible! The flowers are exquisite! Brenda is obviously an extremely talented designer, a very reliable professional and very responsive to her customers needs.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,

Brenda is incredible! She really listened and pays very close attention to detail. Because of this, all I can say my bouquet was so well made, it is now a beautiful addition to my apartment. All the bouquets were extremely lifelike, the quality was exquisite and all my girls loved their individualized bouquets. Breda is creme of the crop and her work is a reflection of her wonderful personality and her love for people. Thank you so much!

Brenda was great! I got into a situation with my first florist who was non-responsive and wouldn't commit to a finish date. I contacted Brenda who stepped right up and delivered absolutely beautiful flowers! She had them done so quickly and I couldn't have been happier! Thank you!!!

I just want to say that Brenda did an awesome job at my daughters wedding on March 27 2010. We had used her before with my oldest daughters wedding and were happy to use her again.We were on a strict no frills budget and she came thru with flying colors. She met with us frequently at time good for us (non business hours) and she was on time or early for the event with plenty of people to get the reception done and looking it's best. We threw her a curve ball with the cake since it was also no frills and she had to decorate it on the spot with the gorgeous orchids we had ordered just two days before. The punch bowl was the main attraction as people walked into the venue, it was lit with lights and decorated so beautifully especially with the chandelier hanging over it, it made my daughter so happy. It was just what she wanted. Thanks again Brenda, I will use you again when my other two daughters get married!!!

Brenda provided me with all my options, conferred with me regularly and when ever I called she picked up her phone even if she could not talk right then she would call me back. Everything was perfect and just what I wanted. What I like about my experience with Keepsake is that she kept all my flowers til my wedding day and then she and her staff were promptly at the ceremony to pin on all those flowers and it was one less thing I had to worry about getting to the church and ceremony on time. 5 stars!

Brenda knows her stuff. My initial consultation with Brenda answered so many questions that I had and put me at ease. After our first meeting, she was able to grasp what I wanted my special day to be like, and she made it happen. It was better than anything I could have put together or even imagined. Her strong attention to detail, her creative talents and skills, and her extensive experience with wedding planning in the Tampa Bay area enabled me to have a beautiful wedding that family and friends still comment on. I can�t imagine why anyone would plan a wedding without using Brenda�s services. --Gretchen A. Brown

Keepsake Silk Flowers did an absulately fabulous job with the flowers for all in the bridal party. The bride chose really bold colors (orange and peridot green) and the design couldn't have come out any prettier. It was classic and fun at the same time. She was also very wonderful at the venue itself, very organized and able to assist the bridal party with their last minute requests. Would highly recommend this vendor for any future events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
