Preserve Your Wedding Bouquet
Your bouquet was part of a day you only get once. We press and frame it with the care that day deserves.
It's more than a frame, it's a memory.What wedding bouquet preservation is
Your fresh flowers are dried, pressed by hand, and sealed behind UV-protected glass. Choose between two panes of glass, or a white board backing.
Frame designs are handcrafted. Glass is cut for your arrangement. Nothing about it is off the shelf.
Sizes and finishes
Four sizes. Six finishes. Pricing starts at $340 and moves with the size and finish you choose.
8x10
11x14
16x20
18x24
Still deciding on your wedding flowers? Order the frame first. Up until we receive your flowers, we can accommodate any frame size changes.
Framing his boutonniere alongside it? The 5x7 starts at $125.
Order your frame
Choose your size and finish in the shop. Placing your order, and confirming your drop-off or shipping plans, is what reserves your space in the press.
Ship your flowers or drop them off
Your confirmation email includes packing instructions and a link to schedule a drop-off at our Gilbert, Arizona studio. Shipping to us is your responsibility and you may use any carrier. We accept orders nationwide.
Pressing
Your flowers go into the presses. We will notify you once they come out and enter our design queue. Quality preservation takes time, and we never sacrifice quality for speed.
Design
Our design team arranges your flowers for the size and finish you chose. Every arrangement is tailored for the flowers in front of us, not from a template.
Your approval
We send you the design before anything is sealed. Nothing gets finished until you have seen it.
Sealing
Once you approve, your blooms are secured to the glass and the frame is sealed.
What your bouquet will look like
Pressing changes flowers. The comparison below is a real bouquet, before and after, so you can judge it for yourself rather than take our word for it.
Flower vibrancy and color change during preservation.
Two things you should know before you order
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.
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.
We accept all-white bouquets
White flowers are difficult, and they shift the most. Pressed white blooms turn shades of ivory, sometimes with yellow, beige, or brown coming through.
We accept every fresh bouquet. If an all-white bouquet is what you want, add greenery and a mix of white flower types so the finished frame has contrast and depth.
Your wedding already happened
We can often still help. Depending on condition and how they have been stored, we accept flowers up to five days after your event.
Call us before ordering so we can confirm availability.
Engagement flowers
The same process applies to engagement flowers. Many clients preserve the engagement bouquet first, then come back for the wedding bouquet, and hang the two together.

From brides who did this
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.
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.
I am so happy with my flowers. Such a special keepsake and so beautiful.
Frame size is a personal choice. A small frame saves a handful of blooms as a sentimental heirloom from a special day. A larger frame allows for many flowers to be saved in a beautiful and distinct shape. Unless you have a 'petite' bouquet, almost all wedding bouquets fit in our best seller, the '16X20' frame.
If you choose our 18X24 frame, we recommend this for bouquets with a lot of variety and blooms, or providing an extra arrangement to supplement enough flowers.
We recommend placing your order at least 1-2 months before your event date. Planning ahead will reserve your spot in our presses, and facilitates a smooth delivery process for you. Our team is occasionally able to accept orders as late as 5 days after your event.
For any flowers post-event, please call us at (928) 396-2497 to confirm before ordering.
Most of our clients hand this off to a parent, a sibling, or someone from the wedding party. An appointment must be scheduled to reserve a drop-off time. This is normal, and it is the reason we accept flowers up to five days out.
From $340 for an 8x10 up to $685 for an 18x24 in gold. Price moves with size and finish, and the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. Shipping and taxes are calculated and shown at checkout.
Usually, yes. There are often enough blooms in a wedding bouquet to fill a larger frame plus one or two smaller ones, which clients frequently gift to a mother or mother-in-law. Tell us what you have and we will let you know what is possible. You may also bring additional flowers such as table arrangements, ceremony flowers, bridesmaid bouquets, etc. to supplement.

These flowers cannot be replaced. We treat them that way.
