Preserving Your Wedding Flowers: A Lasting Keepsake with Earth Tone

There’s something so special about keeping part of that moment close, a tangible reminder of the love and joy that filled the air. That’s exactly what pressed flower framed artwork can give you. It turns the beautiful blooms from your bouquet into a lasting keepsake you can proudly display in your home, a piece of nature décor that holds your memories as much as your style.

Why I press wedding flowers

I’ve always been drawn to the delicate beauty of flowers. They have this way of making a moment feel magical, but they don’t last forever. When I discovered pressing, everything changed. Suddenly, I could capture their details and colours, preserving them for years to come.

For me, pressing wedding flowers isn’t just about creating floral artwork; it’s about holding onto the feelings of the day. Your wedding flowers are more than decorations. They’re part of the story. By pressing and framing them, you can keep that story alive, bringing the joy and beauty of your wedding into your everyday life.

Pressing flowers vs. other ways to preserve them

There are a few ways to preserve wedding flowers: drying, resin, and pressing. Each has its own charm, but pressing is my favourite for so many reasons.

Drying can sometimes make flowers look flat or muted. Resin can look stunning, but it feels more like a separate piece of art than your actual bouquet. Pressing, though, is hands-on, personal, and full of handmade craftsmanship. Every petal is carefully placed to create a flowery frame that feels just as special as the flowers themselves.

What to expect when pressing flowers

It’s worth knowing that pressing isn’t about creating a replica of your bouquet. Colours may shift slightly, and certain flowers press better than others. Roses and peonies, for example, can be tricky, while blooms like lavender, delphinium, and baby’s breath usually press beautifully.

That’s part of the charm, you’re getting something one-of-a-kind. Every pressed flower framed piece is unique, shaped by nature and the care that goes into making it.

Choosing the right flowers to press

If you’re still planning your wedding flowers, think ahead about which blooms will press best. Carnations, hydrangeas, and eucalyptus are wonderful choices for wedding flower preservation. More delicate flowers can still be pressed; they just need extra care.

I’m always happy to guide you through which flowers will look gorgeous as dried flowers pressed into your frame. That way, your finished piece will be a beautiful part of your nature décor for your home.

From bouquet to keepsake

After your wedding, the sooner I receive your bouquet, the better. Freshness is key for the best results. I carefully press each bloom, making sure its details are preserved, then design your frame so it reflects your style.

Every step is done by hand, because that’s how the flowers keep their character.

Designing your flowery frame

We’ll chat about layouts, backgrounds, and personal touches. Maybe you want something clean and minimal, or maybe a fuller, more artistic arrangement. Your frame should feel like you and like your wedding day.

Caring for your pressed flower artwork

To keep your frame looking beautiful, I’ll give you simple care tips, like keeping it away from direct sunlight and wiping the glass gently. With a little care, it will last for years, becoming a permanent part of your home.

Why handmade matters

At Earth Tone, I believe in making pieces that carry more than just flowers; they carry memories. My work is rooted in handmade craftsmanship, meaning every pressed flower frame is made with care and attention, so it feels personal from start to finish.

Bringing nature into your home and heart

When you choose to preserve wedding flowers through pressing, you’re not just saving petals; you’re holding onto the love, the laughter, and the joy of that day. Whether your frame hangs in the living room, rests on a shelf in the bedroom, or becomes part of a gallery wall, it will always be a reminder of a moment worth keeping.
