How We Work
Preservation Process
01
Order and Reserve
Choose a size, frame, style and reserve a day here. A reservation ensures there is room in our presses for your flowers. Our most popular choice is 11×14 in walnut with a bouquet style. You can upgrade size or add on extras at the time of bouquet drop-off.
02
Drop Off
Designate a member of the bridal party to put the flowers in water after the event and deliver to our Salt Lake City location or mail to us using our shipping instructions. If ordered 2 weeks before the event, we can mail you shipping materials and/or a prepaid shipping label.
03
Preservation and Design
Pressing takes about 6 weeks. Once flowers are pressed we create a mockup of the design for your input and approval.
04
Creation and Delivery
Once design is finalized, flowers are secured and framed using solid wood framing and Tru Vue® Optium Museum Acrylic® . We aim to have pieces ready for pickup or delivery 8 to 10 weeks after your event.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Why do I need to schedule in advance?
Pressing flowers takes advanced preparation from customers and preservation artists. We reserve space in our presses and availability to start preservation upon receiving your flowers. Customers need to arrange drop-off or shipping of bouquets so we get the flowers within 72 hours of your event.
Why do you use Acrylic instead of glass?
Every bride deserves the best. All frames include museum quality protection through TruVue Optium Museum Acrylic. This provides the best clarity, durability, UV and moisture protection. Full details on truvue.com.
Where are you located?
We are located in Salt Lake City near Foothill and Sunnyside. This is convenient to popular wedding venues such as Red Butte Gardens and This is the Place. We are on the way to the airport from Park City. A member of the wedding party can drop off the bouquet in our coolers or we are happy to chat about design choices and favorite flowers when you drop off. Uber also does package delivery and has delivered bouquets with great results!
Do colors change with preservation? Do you offer color correction?
Yes, flowers naturally change color with pressing. You can view some examples here. We do not offer color correction. Rather than using pastels or watercolors on our flowers, we have developed techniques that highlight the beauty of flowers as they mature over time.
Can I add on additional products?
Yes! Ornaments or a bonus frame make a great gift for parents and a framed boutonniere is a popular option.
I live outside of Utah. Can you press my flowers?
Yes! We have written and video instructions for shipping your flowers safely to us. Just choose one of the shipping options at checkout. You can gather your own shipping materials or we can send you some for an additional fee.
