WHO WE ARE
About us
We are a boutique flower pressing studio based in Vancouver, WA with a
husband/wife flower pressing duo at the helm.
Flower pressing is our passion. For us flowers are more than just petals—they carry memories, emotions, and stories. Whether it’s the bouquet from your wedding day, flowers from a memorial, or blossoms from a baby shower, we turn your most meaningful moments into lasting art pieces.
We don’t just press flowers—we reconstruct them, petal by petal, color by color, using techniques rooted in traditional Japanese flower pressing. Every bloom is handled with care and craftsmanship, ensuring your flowers look just as vibrant as the day you held them.
Vancuterie is a labor of love and is an ever-blossoming passion. We will be honored to press your bouquet.
