Frequently Asked Questions

Our bridal bouquet preservation begins right after your wedding. You ship or drop off your bouquet, and we carefully press and dry each bloom. Once preserved, your flowers can be turned into framed pressed flower art, jewelry, or custom keepsakes! We suggest booking in advance to get all of the details together before the big day.

Yes! We can indeed press succulents. Because of the extra time and attention they need, we may charge an additional $20 succulent fee depending on the amount your bouquet contains (typically 3+). If you would rather not pay the fee, then we would suggest removing them from your bouquet before sending it to us. Repot the succulents and enjoy them in your home instead!

Yes, we do! With a few exceptions. White flowers are extremely fragile and require a lot more attention when it comes to pressing. White flowers tend to brown easily, turning creme and blonde instead of bright white.

If you have an all white bouquet we require that you have a variety of white flowers and greenery. We don't accept bouquets of just one type of flower (ex. long stem white roses.) If you have a bouquet like this, we'd love to work with your flowers using our dried shadow box option! Drying white flowers instead of pressing them allows them enough air to retain their brilliance a bit better.

The best way to describe this is to show a few examples! We will not accept any bouquets for fresh pressed arrangements if there are white flowers and no greenery. Of course there are always a few exceptions so if you have questions about your specific bouquet then please reach out via email!

We’re a Utah-based team passionate about transforming flowers into timeless art. Every pressed flower wedding bouquet, dried flower memorial, and pressed flower jewelry piece is made by hand with care, quality materials, and artistry.

Yes! You have two options.

• You can choose to hang dry the flowers yourself which is super easy and only takes a few weeks (information on that will be sent after placing your order).
• Or you can send your fresh flowers to us with rushed next day shipping and we can dry them for you. This will add an extra $175 onto your order (not including the price of you shipping the flowers to us.)

As long as you take care of your frame, your flowers will last forever! But please be aware that your blooms WILL fade overtime. We don't use any dyes, preservatives, or chemical enhancements during the preserving process. We love what Mother Nature does to the aging of the flowers and we believe it tells a beautiful story. Make sure to keep your flowers away from direct sunlight and away from any humid areas (ex. the bathroom). If you follow those steps, your flowers should stay around forever. Happy day!

Art glass is the highest quality glass in the industry. Art glass provides exceptional clarity, anti-reflective properties, and 99% UV protection helping your flowers retain their vibrancy for longer than our standard glass! If you choose to add on art glass you can purchase the front pane or both panes of glass (only the front pane will make a huge difference but we like to let our clients choose which they would prefer).

If you don't opt to upgrade to art glass, your piece will be framed with two standard panes of glass on the front & the back.

Absolutely! Whether you've been drying your flowers for a few months or they've been sitting in your mom's basement for three years (lookin' at you, big sis), our shadow box option is the perfect fit. Click here to head to our dried flower shadow box page for more information.

Wedding bouquet preservation is the process of saving and transforming your fresh flowers into lasting art. At Flowers of the Press, we press, dry, or frame your wedding bouquet so you can keep it forever as a meaningful keepsake.

Yes! We can combine blooms from different weddings, memorials, or special occasions into one pressed flower frame or floral keepsake. It’s a beautiful way to weave multiple memories into a single artwork.

Keep your dried flowers or pressed floral frames out of direct sunlight and moisture. Display them in a cool, dry place and dust gently. For jewelry, avoid water and harsh cleaners. With simple care, your preserved florals will last for years.

We strive to include every single flower in your piece(s), but more often than not, there isn't enough space for every single element of the bouquet. If a client would like to have the leftover flowers returned in the final package, we are always happy to do so! Email us at hello@flowersofthepress.com, and we can add that onto your order for an additional $25. However, in the absence of such a request, we may add them to our stockpile for future reuse.

Yes! While we’re based in Utah, we accept shipped bouquets from across the U.S. If you’re searching for pressed flowers near me or dried pressed flowers near me, we can still help — just ship your bouquet to us for professional preservation.

Of course. We create floral keepsakes for anniversaries, memorials, births, graduations, and more. Any meaningful flowers can be preserved into lasting art or jewelry.

If you’re looking for wedding bouquet preservation in Utah, you can book online or drop off your flowers at our studio. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure your bouquet arrives in perfect condition for pressing and preservation.

Yes. Our dried flower memorials are a heartfelt way to honor loved ones. We use preserved blooms from funerals or special arrangements to create framed keepsakes or memorial flower jewelry that carry deep emotional meaning.

Yes — we offer wedding flower keepsakes in many forms, including pressed flower ornaments, framed art, and jewelry. They make perfect gifts for anniversaries or loved ones who want to remember your wedding day.

Yes! Our pressed flower frames are some of our most popular products. Each piece is handcrafted with real preserved florals from your bouquet or chosen blooms, sealed behind glass to protect color and texture.

Absolutely. We specialize in art with pressed flowers — each petal and leaf from your bouquet is arranged by hand into a custom composition. These pressed flower frames can be displayed as wall art or tabletop décor.

We offer several floral preservation techniques:

• Pressed florals – flat, framed displays that highlight each petal’s detail.
• Dried florals – three-dimensional arrangements that retain texture and color.
• Jewelry preservation – turning small blooms into necklaces or earrings.

Each method helps preserve your flowers in a unique way that matches your style.

If you're outside of Utah, there are a few extra steps when it comes to getting your flowers to us but no worries, we work with out of state clients all the time!

When you book with us there is an optional add on for a "shipping kit" where we send you a package full of sustainable supplies needed to ship your flowers to us. Regardless of if you bought the kit or not, we will send out a detailed video tutorial after you purchase on how to best package your flowers for safe shipping. Find that here.

Fresh flowers will need to ship with Next Day Shipping and dried flowers can just ship standard.

The shipping kit is simply a box of all of the supplies that you will need to send your flowers back to us after the big day! A few of the things include, a prepaid return label, biodegradable packing peanuts, a bouquet preserver, eco friendly plastic bags, and a few extra surprises. These can all be found on your own at your local shipping store but some people find it nice to have the whole thing sent to them in one piece to take a bit of stress off of their big day.

The kit will be sent out to you the Tuesday the week before your event. Make sure to open up the kit when it is received.

*If you order the shipping kit you must notify us with any sort of change of address 2 weeks prior to your event*

Yes! The shipping kit contains all necessary supplies for shipping your flowers, including the box and a prepaid shipping label.

Without the shipping kit, clients may spend between $200 and $300 on shipping and supplies. We strongly recommend ordering your frames early enough to purchase a shipping kit.

See FAQ "What is the shipping kit" for more details.

Currently, we are unable to offer international shipping for fresh flowers. However, we have two alternative options available:

1. **Dried Flower Shadow Box:** You can choose to hang dry your flowers and then send them to us once they are completely dry. We will use these dried flowers to create a beautiful shadow box for you. To explore our shadow box designs, please visit https://flowersofthepress.myshopify.com/collections/dried-flowers

2. **Bouquet Recreation:** Another option is to work with us to recreate your bouquet. Simply fill out the form at https://flowersofthepress.myshopify.com/pages/recreations
with your details and attach a photo of your bouquet. We will collaborate with our local wholesaler to source fresh flowers for your project. These fresh blooms will then be pressed and preserved to craft a unique art piece representing your special day.

We have recently expanded our services to accommodate international orders, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Make sure to check out our terms and conditions specific to international orders and let us know what questions you have. We're here to assist you! https://flowersofthepress.myshopify.com/pages/terms-conditions

Of course! If you are local to Utah, you or a friend can drop off your flowers at our studio located in Salt Lake City. You can also pick up the the finished piece in the same place or request to have it shipped to you 💕

When placing your order hit the "drop off/pickup" option during checkout. We will send you additional information once your order is placed!

Although we take great care to package our pieces with as much protection as possible, we understand that damage may occur during shipping.

In the event that this occurs, we ask that you leave the piece as is, send us photos and an email and then reseal the box. Once you notify us we will send you a prepaid return label, repair the frame at our shop, and send it back to you as soon as possible.

No, we will not ship back any glass vases, pendants, charms, or other items that may be used to hold/decorate your flower stems. Make sure to remove these from your bouquet prior to shipping!

You do not need to book months in advance! (But we recommend it) We can accept new preservation orders up to 3 days after your event.

That said, we recommend booking before your wedding so you'll have shipping instructions, flower care information, and time to explore our preservation options.

If it's been more than 3 days since your event, send us a photo of your flowers and we'll determine whether they're still in a condition suitable for preservation.

All of our policies can be found here! Make sure to read over the terms and conditions before placing your order, please and thank you!
