WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HAVING YOUR BOUQUET PRESSED

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HAVING YOUR BOUQUET PRESSED

Lets talk about expectations with having your wedding bouquet preserved! 

Your wedding day is such a special event & preserving your blooms is an extension of that! we all love our flowers on our wedding day, they are bright, lively, & most of the time express you & your partner!

A little bit of the preservation process is taking those amazing fresh flowers & then sucking the moisture out of them so that they can be framed. When doing this some of that bright or muted colors from your bouquet can be changed. Reds turned to violets, pinks to white, yellows to very bright yellows, the combinations are endless. We understand that sometimes this can be sad for the couple because they loved the original colors there blooms were fresh. We try to provide as much info on how your bouquet might press before pressing as well to help with this! A good reminder is we are handling living things & we have no control over if a certain flower preserves darker or lighter. The important thing to remember is these are YOUR flowers from YOUR special day that you will have forever.
