What types of flowers can be pressed?
All flowers can be pressed in one way or another but we cannot guarantee that every single flower will press beautifully. Some flowers are better pressed deconstructed, such as roses and lilies. They have a high moisture content so pressing them whole leads to brown spots and mold. We will press any flower and hope for the best results but cannot promise that every flower will come out looking perfect. Ferns, eucalyptus, hydrangea, anenomie, butterfly bush, aster, daisies, queen annes lace, delphinium, larkspur, ranunculus, peony, and more all press beautifully.
Will my flowers be the same color when they are pressed?
Bright colored flowers usually remain very bright and beautiful even after the drying process! They may not be AS bright as when they were fresh, but may become a more pastel version of itself. Red flowers tend to turn a dark burgundy when they come out of the press. Certain white flowers can brown when pressed but they still look beautiful. Over time, flowers will slowly fade as we do not use any sealants or preservatives.
Can you press my flowers that are already dried?
Unfortunately, once flowers are dry they can no longer be pressed. Only fresh flowers can be pressed. Still want a pressed flower frame? If you have photos of your wedding bouquet we can easily recreate it for you in a frame. Shoot us an email or fill out the contact form for more information!
Will you press all the flowers I give you?
We will pick out the best looking, freshest flowers from your arrangement to press. Flowers that are wilting, browning, or just don't look perfect will not come out of the press looking any better. We will press as many flowers as we possibly can in order to give you a wide variety of options. Any foliage that is not used will be composted.
Can I have any extra pressed flowers back?
Pressing flowers is a delicate art that takes hours to complete, so we do not return any loose pressed flowers.
When will I get my framed flowers?!
Pressing flowers can take anywhere from 2-4 months. Some flowers have a higher moisture content than others which means they have to be in the press for longer. You can expect to get your framed bouquet back within 2-4 months.
What frame will I get?
You will choose your own frame and check out in full upon reserving your date.
