At Everbloom Floral Studio, we're experts in preserving your wedding bouquet and flowers using traditional pressing methods. We skip the chemicals, allowing natural colour and shape changes to add to their unique beauty.
Before pressing, your flowers shine with vibrant colours and delicate shapes, capturing the magic of your special day. These bouquets are much more than simple flowers. They hold so many unique memories and stories about your BIG DAY. That why we press and frame them with lots of care and love.
When it comes to pressing your flowers, the most important thing to acknowledge is that, during pressing, blooms undergo gentle transformations, with colours softening or intensifying. This is a natural process, as petals loose the water and dry completely they also loose some of the colour pigment they hold.
Popular flowers in wedding bouquets like roses, peonies, and lilies and so on, all have their own charm when pressed. For example, pink roses deepen in colour, peonies keep their layers and their stamens get vibrant yellow, in the other side lilies maintain their graceful shape but usually fade or brown easily. When comes to pressing white flowers, like, roses, lisianthus, lilies or ranunculus sometimes they can be a little bit browner or yellower that the fresh flower was. This doesn’t mean that pressing white flowers impossible, in fact the outcome is just as beatiful as with the other flowers. When pressing white roses, please keep in mind that some kind of white roses tend to be more brown then the others.
If you don't like the fact, that flowers will shade and brown with time, maybe pressed flowers are not for you.
But to offer clarity on the outcomes as much as possible, here is a table showing the flowers before and after pressing:
Please also note, that pressing different kind of flowers requires different methods/techniques depending from the thickness of the petals, moisture and the structure of the flower. The time to fully press a bouquet varies but usually it’s around 6 weeks.
