If having your bridal bouquet preserved is on your wedding bucket list, you should definitely have your flowers pressed.
Instead of enjoying your flowers for a single day, take your floral bouquet and have them pressed into a custom piece of framed art.
How Does Flower Pressing Work?
Overview
Flower pressing is a timely, intricate process. It can take up to four months to receive your pressed floral piece.
The flower presses fill up rapidly and once they are full, they must sit until the flowers are ready to be removed. Because this is such a uniquely intricate process, please submit your consult form as early as possible, making sure to note the date of your event. It’s important to ensure that there is enough space in the presses and that there are enough flower pressers available to tend to your blossoms

Step Two: Ship or Drop-Off your bouquet
Your flowers must be delivered to our studio immediately following the event.
Every flower taken from a bouquet goes through a careful selection process. Your flowers must be in pristine condition to press effectively, so if the flowers are browning or wilting, they will not be pressed.
You may wish to assign someone to drop off your flowers. If you are a local of Seattle, Portland or Oregon area we offer pickup at an additional fee. You can learn more about this service and request pickup here.
We also accept shipped flowers, but it is your responsibility to ensure that the flowers reach us promptly and undamaged. The longer your blooms are outside a cool and protected environment, the more likely the petals will become damaged. If you are shipping your flowers follow our detailed shipping instructions to learn how to ship your bouquet.

Step Three: Deconstruction
Your flowers come into our studio and undergo a metamorphosis.
From the moment your flowers arrive, they are welcomed and blessed, photo-documented, assigned to their own press, and held in a refrigerated location, waiting for petal deconstruction to begin.
The process of deconstruction is meticulous and begins within eight hours of receiving your bouquet. The first 72 hours are critical to the long-lasting beauty of your flowers, and the entire process can take between 6-8 months. We realize that this is a long wait, but Mother Nature cannot be rush! You will be notified of your petals’ progress as it transforms into your own timeless piece of magic.
Don't wait until it's too late!

Color Correction
While white and light colored flowers are signature color for many bouquets, the color tends to yellow and brown quickly. In fact, most flowers will lose some, if not all of their color. We can offer color correction techniques to help enhance the petal color.
You can add color correction to your pressed piece at $175/hr. If you have already purchased a frame you can request to add color correction later. Get in touch if you would like to know more
