Natural Preservation
At Pressed Floral, we believe in the beauty of your blooms exactly as nature created them: untouched, authentic, and full of meaning. We are committed to only using natural preservation methods and caring for the earth that grew them. We never use harsh chemicals, artificial colors, or unnatural treatments on our flowers. The flowers we return to you are in their most natural form, but displayed to last a lifetime.
Your blooms will age gently alongside you and your memories. Much like natural keepsakes such as linen or leather, your blooms will also develop a beautiful patina. This page will help you understand what changes you can expect out of your flowers throughout the process.
Color Change After Preservation
Each flower has its own unique chemical makeup, which gives it its distinct color and pigmentation. While your blooms are fresh and have a supply of water, these pigments remain brighter and more vibrant. However, as they are pressed and dried the pigments, such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and betacyanins, degrade as they are oxidized.

Color Change Over Time
At Pressed Floral, we use all-natural methods of floral preservation to capture your unique, significant moments in time. While there is a history of botanicals lasting centuries in herbariums with thousands of species preserved, organic elements of nature will always become more delicate and faded over time - which we believe makes it all the more beautiful.
Pressed Floral combines traditional methods of botanical earth art, and professional modern preservation and framing techniques, so you can have a piece of art that lasts forever, while gracefully aging with you.
Design Styles
At Pressed Floral we offer a variety of design styles to cater to the unique preferences of each client. These design styles have been mastered by each of our professional designers, and are intended to showcase your blooms best. Below is a sampling of some of our most cherished design styles.
our Personalized Communication
Please keep in mind that every piece we create is fully custom and made to order. After you see your first design photo, we encourage you to collaborate with your designer to make any adjustments you wish. Our goal is to ensure each creation is a perfect reflection of your vision and your blooms.
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, greenery, 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.
