Anastasia “Cookie” Jackson has been making the news lately with her larger-than-life blooms made entirely of paper. Featured recently on “Good Morning America” and “Delmarva Life,” the Delaware native’s Milford shop, Cookie's Paper Petals, is quite popular with the locals. What started out as a hobby in 2017 quickly grew into a solid brick-and-mortar business that opened last August.
As a paper florist, Jackson creates backdrops, bouquets, centerpieces, and individual flowers and sets available for sale, as well as in DIY kits. Most recently she created a flower wall that can be transported to events and customized with clients’ floral choices. As a philanthropic businesswoman, she not only offers classes and workshops to the local community and in nearby states, but also around the world to woman and children of developing nations as an alternative source of income.
With 13 flower styles available in a variety of paper colors and textures, including metallics and glitters, there is something to satisfy every floral taste. These paper petals are perfect for wedding and bridal shower décor, and a fun idea for bachelorette parties and bridesmaids looking to create something fabulous!
