Blessed and Pressed Founder

Our story starts way back in 1990, when Trish Bruno opened a charming little flower shop specializing in—you guessed it—roses! Over the next 30 years, Simply Roses bloomed into a beloved full-service florist. Trish’s daughters, Ashlee and Carlee, carried on the family tradition of spreading floral joy, and in 2014, Ashlee and her husband officially took the reins.

But after 25 years of making magic with fresh flowers, Trish felt the pull of a new adventure. Brides were asking for more than just dried bouquets—they wanted art that would last forever. And so, Blessed & Pressed was born! Now, Trish spends her days in her happy place, listening to music and turning bouquets into stunning, forever keepsakes.  In her hands, love truly blooms for a lifetime!
