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.
