Yes, we do! With a few exceptions. White flowers are extremely fragile and require a lot more attention when it comes to pressing. White flowers tend to brown easily, turning creme and blonde instead of bright white.

If you have an all white bouquet we require that you have a variety of white flowers and greenery. We don't accept bouquets of just one type of flower (ex. long stem white roses.) If you have a bouquet like this, we'd love to work with your flowers using our dried shadow box option! Drying white flowers instead of pressing them allows them enough air to retain their brilliance a bit better.

The best way to describe this is to show a few examples! We will not accept any bouquets for fresh pressed arrangements if there are white flowers and no greenery. Of course there are always a few exceptions so if you have questions about your specific bouquet then please reach out via email!

We press almost all types of flowers! However, there are a few that we don't work with for certain reasons. Below is a list of flowers and greens that we don't include in final arrangements.

  • Giant Lilies. Lilies are quite wishy-washy when it comes to flower preservation. Because they have such a high water content, they tend to brown even before entering the press. We will press your lilies if you want, but they might not turn out how you expect!
  • Seeded Eucalyptus. We loooove the look of fresh seeded eucalyptus, but the seeds are too thick to fit between the panes of glass. We can use the leaves, but the seeds are removed before being pressed.
  • Amaranth - Amaranth is a beautiful element in a lot of bouquets but due to it's thickness we can only include 2-3 stems in the final piece.
  • Pin Cushion Protea - Pin cushions are very popular in mostly tropical bouquets and we love them! But due to it's thickness we can only include 1-2 in the final piece.
  • Poppy Pods - We can not include poppy pods in the final design due to it's thickness.
  • Scabiosa Pods - We can not include scabiosa pods in the final design due to it's thickness.
  • Silver Brunia- We can not include brunia in the final design due to it's thickness.
  • Safflower- We can not include safflower in the final design due to it's thickness.
  • Banksia - Unfortunately, banksia can not press thin enough to be included in the pressed arrangement. If you'd like them to be a part of your frame, we'd suggest going with a shadow box arrangement instead.
  • Wheat - Unfortunately, any type of wheat or tares can not press thin enough to be included in the pressed arrangement. If you'd like them to be a part of your frame, we'd suggest going with a shadow box arrangement instead.
  • Any type of thick branches. We occasionally see branches like curly willows included in bouquets and they are stunning! Unfortunately, branches don't press thin enough to be included in the final arrangement. If you'd like them to be a part of your frame, we'd suggest going with a shadow box arrangement instead.

Yes! We can indeed press succulents. Because of the extra time and attention they need, we may charge an additional $20 succulent fee depending on the amount your bouquet contains (typically 3+). If you would rather not pay the fee, then we would suggest removing them from your bouquet before sending it to us. Repot the succulents and enjoy them in your home instead!

As long as you take care of your frame, your flowers will last forever! But please be aware that your blooms WILL fade overtime. We don't use any dies, preservatives, or chemical enhancements during the preserving process. We love what Mother Nature does to the aging of the flowers and we believe it tells a beautiful story. Make sure to keep your flowers away from direct sunlight and away from any humid areas (ex. the bathroom). If you follow those steps, your flowers should stay around forever. Happy day!

Absolutely! Whether you've been drying your flowers for a few months or they've been sitting in your mom's basement for three years (lookin' at you, big sis), our shadow box option is the perfect fit. Click here to head to our dried flower shadow box page for more information.

Yes! You have two options.

  • You can choose to hang dry the flowers yourself which is super easy and only takes a few weeks (information on that will be sent after placing your order).
  • Or you can send your fresh flowers to us with rushed next day shipping and we can dry them for you. This will add an extra $175 onto your order (not including the price of you shipping the flowers to us.)

We strive to include each flower, but more often than not, there isn't enough space for every single element of the bouquet. Our specific design style avoids overcrowding the frame, instead spacing out the pieces to create a true work of art. If a client requests to have the leftover flowers returned with the final piece, we are always happy to do so! However, in the absence of such a request, we add them to our stockpile for future reuse.

Art glass is the highest quality glass in the industry. Art glass provides exceptional clarity, anti-reflective properties, and 99% UV protection helping your flowers retain their vibrancy for longer than our standard glass! If you choose to add on art glass you can purchase the front pane or both panes of glass (only the front pane will make a huge difference but we like to let our clients choose which they would prefer).

If you don't opt to upgrade to art glass, your piece will be framed with two standard panes of glass on the front & the back.
