The Elegance of Pressed Flower Preservation

The Elegance of Pressed Flower Preservation

Pressed Flower Preservation is a delicate art form that transforms whole flowers into thin, elegant paper-like pieces, preserving their beauty in a unique and timeless form. Our expert preservation team has mastered various techniques to ensure that each flower retains as much of its vibrant color and intricate details as possible.

Pressed flower preservation items include serving trays, coasters, flower wall art, jewelry and ornaments.

The Pressing Process:

  1. Initial Selection & Preparation: Each flower is carefully selected and prepared based on its unique characteristics. Our artisans assess the best method to preserve its natural beauty, taking into account factors like petal thickness and color vibrancy.

  2. Pressing Techniques To achieve the perfect pressed flower, we employ a combination of traditional and modern techniques:

    • Paper Press: A classic method that gently flattens flowers between layers of absorbent paper, ideal for delicate blooms like orchids. 

    • Microwave Press: A quick and effective technique that uses controlled heat in quick bursts to extract moisture while maintaining vibrant colors.

    • Silica Gel Drying Agent: A specialized method that absorbs moisture while preserving the flower's color, used for flowers that require a gentler touch.

Each technique is carefully chosen based on the flower type to ensure the highest quality preservation.

  1. Design & Arrangement Once pressed and fully dried, the flowers are artfully arranged into a design template. This stage allows for customization and approval, ensuring that the final piece reflects your vision for the artwork.

  2. Color Corrective Services if needed 

  3. Resin Encapsulation The pressed flowers are encased according to the design in a thin layer of crystal-clear epoxy resin, resulting in a sleek, 1/2 inch thick product. This step requires precision and care to maintain the integrity of each flower, creating a stunning, polished finish.

What Sets Our Process Apart:
• Expertise in multiple pressing techniques
• Tailored approach for each flower type
• Commitment to preserving vibrant colors and intricate details
• Custom design consultation for personalized artwork

The Result: Our Pressed Flower Preservation captures the delicate beauty of your blooms in a refined, elegant form. Each piece is a testament to the artistry and care that goes into preserving your cherished memories, creating a beautiful keepsake that lasts a lifetime.

🌼 Time Investment: 3 - 5 months total. This careful process cannot be rushed – each stage requires precise timing and optimal conditions to achieve the exceptional quality.
