how long will it take to receive my frame?

The estimated time for a frame to be completed is 12-18 weeks. During the pressing process, flowers can take several weeks before fully drying depending on the level of moisture in the flower. Timing may vary, but I can assure you that it is worth the wait! You will be notified when the flowers are fully dry and ready to be framed.

will my framed flowers fade over time?​

It is natural for any pressed flower to fade over time.  All flowers are different, but some can begin to yellow or brown during the preservation process. Not all flowers maintain their original color (for example, a light pink flower may fade to a yellow color during the pressing process). Placing your frame away from direct sunlight can slow the fading process. At Pressed Blooms, no artificial coloring is utilized. There is beauty in preserving flowers in their natural state!

I do not live locally. can I ship my flowers to you?

Yes you can! To ship your flowers, please ship with the fastest shipping option possible (shipping prices may vary). 
To ship the flowers, please follow the following steps:

• Keep flowers in water until you are ready to pack them up.
• Remove any floral tape/pins and wrap stems in a wet paper towel or rag.
• Place a plastic bag over the wrapped stems to keep moisture in.
• Pack the box with paper towels, packing peanuts, or paper products to cushion (try to avoid bubble wrap).
• Please include a note with your name in the box.
• Bring to your local post office and ship!

are there any flowers that cannot be pressed?

Some flowers press better than others! For example, some tropical flowers may not retain their color. We will let you know if anything is unable to be pressed.

WHAT FRAMES DO YOU OFFER?​

We currently offer frames in distressed white, solid white, solid black, and walnut.  We also offer matted frames upon request.  If you would like a specific frame color or size, please reach out and we can try to accommodate your request!  Your choice in frame color can be changed up until it is framed.

My wedding/event was a week ago, can my flowers still be pressed?

Possibly! It is recommended that the flowers begin the preservation process as soon as possible (within 3 days of wedding/event), as flowers will begin to wilt, brown, and are very fragile.  You can send a photo to us,  and we can tell you if the flowers are still able to be pressed.  An additional fee may be added depending on the state of the flowers.

can you recreate my wedding bouquet?

Yes! As long as the flowers are in season and available to be purchased, we can use new flowers to press and recreate your bouquet.  An additional fee will apply for cost of flowers.

can you press and frame artificial flowers/greenery?

Artificial flowers can certainly be pressed and framed! The framing process will likely be quicker if all flowers are artificial.

can i request certain design elements prior to the frame being made?

Of course! You can be a large part of the design process if you have design elements in mind. I will send a mockup photo of the frame before gluing/framing to allow you to request any changes if needed.

what information do you need from me before i book?

We will send you a survey to fill out once you book to gather any information we might need for your frame.
