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

What is the Flower Pressing Process?
Step One: Drop-Off
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 cannot drop off your bouquet, arrangements can be made for pick-up for an additional fee.
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.

Step Two: 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!
