Flower Preservation
Let us turn your wedding flowers into a custom work of art. Framing your pressed flowers is a beautiful way to hold on to your bridal bouquet long after you've said "I do".
We use a combination of pressing techniques that we have learned over the years. No two flowers are alike so what works for one might not work for another. We have been perfecting our process over the years and continue to learn more the longer we go!
The standard glass that comes with your frame will be replaced with UV filtering, anti-reflective, archival art glass to assist in the longevity of your pressed flower art, and since you provide your own frame, you can select exactly the look you want for your home.
There are countless ways for us to design your finished art, and we love collaborating with our clients for a truly customized keepsake.
What can be preserved and how much will it cost?
After years of trial and error and various techniques, we are able to press just about anything that comes our way. Please note some flowers will press quite translucent such as lilies and tulips, and most white flowers aren't pure white when dried out, but we think this natural process is beautiful in its own special way!
*There is a non-refundable deposit of $100 required to book, this amount will be deducted from your final balance. PA sales tax (6%) will be added to your total cost. The balance will be due when your artwork is complete.

Frames
Standard frames are encouraged for a beautiful piece of art that will outlast trends and always remain classic. We do not stock frames, but rather, allow our client to select the frame that is right for their home and decor. Please plan to provide your own frame for your pressed flower art.
If you are set on a clear floating frame, please make sure the back piece is made of flexible material (product specs should have this information), otherwise the frame may not close properly. If you are unsure, feel free to check with us!
What if I am not local, can you still work with me?
Yes, we can and would love to! You will need to overnight your flowers securely with a water/hydration pack. We will go over all the details together. Contact us to get the conversation started and we will walk you through all of the necessary steps! If your flowers have already started wilting and drying, please see below!

Can you work with flowers that are already dried?
Most of the time, yes we can still work with your dried flowers! Maybe you weren't aware these services existed, and your bouquet is already starting to dry out. Chances are we can still work with it! Even if your flowers are dried from months to over a year ago we can most likely still create something for you in a shadow box. Contact us today and let's figure it out together!

Caring for your pressed flower art
Art is an investment that you want to take care of. Here are some tips to look over your heirloom!
The best place for your framed artwork is out of direct sunlight. Sunlight can fade flowers faster and speed up the aging process. You will also want to keep away from damp and humid environments like a bathroom.
Dry dusting your frame with a soft cloth is the best way to clean.
Please remember, these are real flowers and materials. Unless color treated, your blooms and foliage will fade over time and this is a natural process (and part of the nostalgic beauty and romance of this art). Pressed flowers are extremely delicate. You may also notice tiny bits and debris loosen, this is to be expected to some degree, but try to minimize moving the frame around too much and if you have to move it be mindful of how you handle it.

Thank you, Shannon!"

She had great communication throughout the whole process and was very efficient. My floral preservation is breathtaking and I get so many compliments on it while it hangs in my new home."
