This is what pressing does

In the press, flowers may change colors, shape, and even sizes. Whites turn ivory or yellow, reds sometimes turn deep purple, and pinks will sometimes turn complementing shades of purple.

We want you to know

Finished pressed floral frame in a gold moulding

Pressed flowers look different than fresh flowers.

When pressed, flowers may change shape, color, and even size. While not every color change is drastic, some may be surprising. White flowers turn hues of ivory, yellow, beige, which continues as they age. Varieties of pink and red flowers may turn different shades of purple. Some colors deepen in the press, while others fade to a softer version.

All of our frames feature UV-protected conservation glass. This helps preserve the flowers' color for as long as possible. However, because flowers are 100% natural materials, color fading is expected as they naturally and gracefully age.

How color change works

This takes months, not weeks.

On average, flower drop-off to frame delivery is 5 to 7 months. We notify you once your flowers come out of the presses and enter the design queue. Quality preservation takes time, and we never sacrifice quality for speed.

Every frame is sealed behind custom-cut, UV-protected glass. Add glass backing and the arrangement floats between two panes.

You approve the design before anything is sealed.

OUR STORY

How it all started

As a little girl, I was absolutely obsessed with flowers. My mom nicknamed me 'The Tulip Girl' when every spring, I watched the snow melt in our garden, and eagerly awaited the first glimpse of our tulip bulbs peeking through.

When I was eight, my dad taught me how to glue the flowers I had pressed into a frame. I later submitted that frame to my school's art competition, never imagining that my childhood hobby would one day become my career. I still display that special frame in my office to admire every single day.

My passion and love for flowers never faded. After pressing wedding bouquets for family and friends, my fun hobby quickly blossomed into a full-time job and a flourishing business.

Today, it's a dream come true to work with such beautiful and sentimental flowers daily. Being entrusted with something so meaningful and irreplaceable is an honor I never take for granted. I feel incredibly lucky to play a small part in preserving memories from my clients' most special days, and honoring the memories of their loved ones.

All I can say is WOW. I am so happy I found The Petal Press to help me save my beautiful florals from my engagement. I can't wait to hang this gorgeous frame in my home.

Kelsy P. · 16x20

I wanted to preserve my wedding flowers but didn't think too far in advance. I called Sarah late in the evening and she immediately called me back and allowed me to drop off my flowers the next day. Our flower preservation could not look better.

Brittany L. · 11x14

The Petal Press did a FANTASTIC job with my flowers. She was great to work with, and honest with how long the process was going to take. She kept in touch and the final product was delivered without any issues.
