Pressing flowers is a work of art. It is never the same, as there is no exactly same flower either. The outcome of the pressed flowers depends on may factors. Like the moistiure of the petals, the thickness and the shape of the flower, the condition of the bouquet and the mostly on the original colour of the bloom. And some flowers press better than others, thats a fast! :)
Usually we can forecast the colours after pressing but there is always a room for error or surprises. Generally speaking, the flowers will be darker in colour than they were before pressing.
For example, a red rose will be a dark red, burgundy colour, while a bright pink rose will be magenta. If you press light-coloured ranunculus or other very pale-coloured fragile flowers, the colours may fade or even turn a brownish shade.
However, it can be stated that the coloured flowers will retain their colour relatively better than white flowers. The white flowers undergo the greater changes, with a more typical yellowish and brownish tinge. It is worth mentioning here that the exact result is not always within our control, but we press these flowers with the utmost care to the best of our knowledge. Personally, we love to see the change in these flowers.
