About the process
Many methods can be used to
preserve flowers. Our goal is to create a long lasting keepsake.
For that reason we prefer pressing over freeze drying. Freeze
dried tends to lose its color and the flowers get brittle very quickly
whereas pressing holds its color nicely and will stay brilliant for
years to come.
Many of our customers prefer
an unobtrusive look in framing as compared to the big plastic bubble
frame that is used to hold a freeze dried bouquet. Another big benefit
in pressing is that with the use of our special powders, we can accept
flowers that are not in perfect condition!
The person who calls us a
few days after the funeral is often happy to hear that we can still use
the original flowers, not replacements!!!
Recommended flowers for
pressing
Certain flowers lend
themselves to the pressing process. For example, red roses deepen
to a burgundy shade while pinks, often go a shade lighter.
