Flower preservation has been around for centuries! There are many methods to drying out flowers and preserving them. At Arcadia Creation, we use the process of using a flower press to flatten the flowers and dry them out completely. After the flowers are dried completely we color enhance and frame the flowers in a flat frame so they can easily be displayed.
The pressing process takes 3-4 weeks to complete. Additionally the framing process will take an additional 1-2 days. Plan to receive your order at a minimum of 4-5 weeks after the bouquet is received.
Unfortunately we are only able to press bouquets that are still in optimal condition. Pressing dried flowers will break the flowers, which is why we require to receive the bouquet no later than 4 days after the event they are used at.
We recommend booking your bouquet in advance if possible. Due to a limited amount of presses, we are only able to receive a certain amount of bouquets per week.
Both options work perfectly fine with Arcadia Creation. One advantage to pressing your bridal bouquet is not having worry about coordinating a drop-off/shipping your bouquet after your wedding. We are happy to press either or!
If you are not local or able to do an in-person drop-off, you will need to ship your flowers to me. Shipping costs will depend on who you use and the size/weight of your arrangement. Shipping costs can vary, but can vary between $50-$100. I will send you preferred shipping instructions when you choose to ship your flowers to me.
