flowers for pressing
Suggested flowers that press well for bridal flower preservation:
Roses! Roses! Roses! They are the very best! The reds press to a deeper
burgundy, the pinks stay pink but may go a bit lighter or darker, or change in
color depending on the variety of rose and the condition of the flower when we
receive it.
White flowers usually press to a crème, and some white flowers respond well to
a dusting of white tempera prior to pressing. Again, much of the color variation
can be attributed to the condition of the flowers, when we receive them. Cell
structure, age of the flowers, and condition are all factors.... Color changes
are normal and should be expected.
Stephanotis does not press well but we can replace them with larkspur that has
the same look. Dendrobian orchids are fine but most other varieties do not work
well for our purposes.
Please remember mother nature sometimes has a mind of her own!
You may call us for information on the flowers in your
arrangement. We are happy to assist you in any way.

Placing an
order
Consultations at
Everlastings are always free, however, if a bride chooses to save
her bouquet, a press is reserved for her and she will receive a
special kit that will help keep her flowers at their best until they
reach the studio for preservation. A deposit is required when
placing an order. The final payment is due upon completion of
the design (usually between 3 to 6 weeks).
