Everbloom Paper Flowers

Olive Branch

$95

The olive has been cultivated longer than almost anything else we grow, and the tree that bears it can stand for centuries. Its signature is not the fruit but the leaf: narrow, evergreen, gray-green on the face and pale silver beneath, so that a whole grove seems to change color when the wind moves through it. This branch is built around that turn.

Every leaf is cut and shaped by hand from crepe paper, the grain drawn along the blade so it reads as a midrib rather than a fold. The paler reverse is worked in deliberately, which is why the piece shifts as you walk past it and why no two leaves take the color quite the same way. The leaves are set in facing pairs along the stem, as olive grows, and the whole branch is wired so the curve can be adjusted by hand and will hold.

A single stem in a clear bud vase is enough; three or five together make a quiet Mediterranean table, and the coloring sits easily alongside linen, terracotta, and unglazed stone. Unlike the branch it’s drawn from, this one won’t drop a leaf or fade in a sunny window, and it can be dusted and re-shaped for as long as you keep it.

 18 in. tall; 1 in. wide, 3 in. long (at leaf)

Materials & Making

Every piece is built from premium German and Italian crepe paper — hand-dyed, hand-painted, and shaped petal by petal. Stems are wired throughout, so each piece can be bent, angled, and arranged as you like, and holds its shape once set.

A multi-step protective finish seals the color, adds a subtle luster, and guards against fading and humidity. Because every piece is colored by hand, tones vary slightly from the photograph — no two are identical, and yours will be its own.


Made to Order

Each piece is made by hand after your order is confirmed. Typical preparation times, measured from the date your order is confirmed with Julia: 7–10 days for one to three stems, 10–14 days for four to seven, and 14–21 days for larger commissions. Shipping transit adds approximately 5–7 days. Timelines run longer through the holiday season and the spring wedding months, and your confirmed date will always be stated in writing before you commit.

Working toward a wedding or event date? Include the date in your request and we’ll confirm the full schedule before anything is finalized. Need a piece sooner than the times above? Ask — a compressed timeline can often be arranged.

Prefer a different palette? Most pieces can be made in custom colors — describe what you have in mind, or send a photograph, and Julia will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Every piece is finished with a tag signed and dated by Julia, nested in tissue, and boxed for safe travel. Preparation & Delivery


Care & Repairs

Though delicate in appearance, each piece is remarkably durable and may be bent and arranged as needed. Keep out of prolonged direct sun and damp environments, and your piece will hold its color and form for decades. Because every piece is made by hand to order, all sales are final. Should a piece ever be damaged, Julia will repair it whenever repair is possible, for the life of the piece — you cover shipping and handling. Guarantee & Repairs
