Unsure of what lies ahead?
Here are some insights on what to expect going into this unique and bespoke process.
Expect Colors To Change
Pressed Floral is determined to preserve flowers in their natural state. Because Pressed Floral uses all-natural methods of preservation and does not use any toxic chemicals or artificial colorings in our process, color changing and fading will be evident in your final piece.
Depending on the unique makeup of flowers, pigments such as Chlorophyll, Carotenoids, Anthocyanins, Flavonoids, and Betacyanins will degrade when oxidized. In Simpler Terms:
Naturally Dried Flowers = Less Pigment
FRESH WHITE BLOOMS THAT PRESERVE INTO SOFT YELLOW AND BROWN HUES.
Add greenery and filler flowers to your all-white bouquet to add contrast and depth to your final frame!
How can your blooms change
Blooms age over time
Even the freshest picked, brightest flowers will end up aging even after being sealed securely into the frame.
Preserving blooms naturally is important to us, to be able to maintain the texture and wrinkle of the preserved bloom. With no dyes or chemicals being used this allows for natural aging of the blooms over time.
Just like the finest art pieces in the world, your Pressed Floral piece will change as the years go on.
Variety or Uniformity in Your Bouquet
Our team of skilled designers have an eye for form, shape, color, harmony and balance. But there are some choices you can make for your bouquet that will make your pressed frame stand out.
Understanding Variety and uniformity
Something to keep in mind when creating your arrangement is whether you prefer dimension and variety in a frame, or a simple and uniform look.
Arrangements that showcase more variety of bloom sizes, colors, and textures allow the final design to have more movement. If this is the style you prefer, ensure your arrangement has adequate filler flowers, colors, and blooms types.
If your bouquet is more uniform, we can still design stunning frames to showcase those blooms. Expect the final pressed frame to look more symmetrical or geometric, as there are less types of flowers to add movement. These types of bouquets can create elegant and simple pressed frames, that house the memories from your event.
At Pressed Floral, we love both uniformity and variety in arrangements, and are committed to creating a custom fine art piece that you will cherish.
