Turn your wedding day into a timeless keepsake

As you walk down the aisle, your eyes are drawn to the vibrant bouquet in your hands, a symphony of colours and textures that capture the essence of your love story. These flowers, carefully chosen and lovingly arranged, are more than just a beautiful accessory; they are a tangible representation of the emotions and memories that make your wedding day so special.

At Earth Tone, I believe that these precious blooms deserve to be treasured long after the last dance has ended. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to the art of pressed flower preservation, creating exquisite frames, paintings, and other keepsakes that allow you to hold onto the beauty of your wedding day forever.

Why Preserve Your Wedding Flowers?

Flowers are more than just decorations; they are living, breathing symbols of the love and joy that fill your heart on your wedding day. When you preserve your bouquet, you're not just saving a collection of petals and stems; you're preserving a piece of your love story, a tangible reminder of the promises you made and the memories you created.

Whether you choose to display a pressed flower frame in your home or gift a floral artwork to a loved one, these keepsakes become a cherished part of your life, a way to bring the beauty of your wedding day into your everyday surroundings. They are a testament to the care and attention you've put into celebrating your love, and a way to share that celebration with others.

Choosing Flowers that Preserve Beautifully

Not all flowers are created equal when it comes to preservation. Some, like roses, tulips, and ranunculus, press beautifully into flat, vibrant petals that capture the essence of the bloom. Others, like eucalyptus and peonies, add texture and depth to your pressed flower creations, while lilies and sweet peas offer a delicate, sentimental touch.

When selecting your wedding flowers, keep in mind that the best blooms for pressing are those with sturdy, flat petals that will hold their shape and colour during the drying and pressing process. Avoid overly delicate or fragile flowers, as they may not withstand the transformation from fresh to dried.

The Best Wedding Flowers for Pressing

Roses: Timeless and romantic, roses press beautifully into flat, vibrant petals that capture the essence of the bloom.

Tulips: Elegant and colourful, tulips make stunning additions to pressed flower frames and floral artwork.

Peonies: With their full, soft blooms, peonies create a beautiful, textured presence in any pressed flower creation.

Ranunculus: The delicate, layered petals of ranunculus preserve exceptionally well, making them a gorgeous choice for your wedding flowers.

Eucalyptus: Adding a touch of greenery and natural texture, eucalyptus is a wonderful complement to your pressed flower designs.

Lilies: Meaningful and strong, lily petals hold their shape beautifully when pressed, making them a lovely option for keepsakes.

Sweet Peas: Soft, sentimental, and delicate, sweet peas are a beautiful addition to any pressed flower creation.

Creative Ways to Treasure Your Flowers

Once your wedding flowers have been carefully pressed and preserved, the possibilities for how to display and enjoy them are endless. A pressed flower frame, for example, becomes a stunning piece of nature-inspired decor, a tangible reminder of your special day that you can hang on your wall or display on a shelf.

For those who want to take their floral preservation to the next level, our team of skilled artisans can create bespoke floral artwork, pressing your blooms into unique designs that celebrate your love story. These one of a kind pieces make for truly meaningful gifts, whether you're commemorating your anniversary, honouring a loved one, or simply adding a touch of natural beauty to your home.

How to Preserve Your Wedding Flowers

Preserving your wedding flowers is a delicate process that requires care and attention, but the results are well worth the effort. The key is to press your blooms as soon as possible after your wedding, while they are still fresh and vibrant.

Start by gently removing any excess foliage or stems, then carefully arrange your flowers between the pages of a heavy book or pressing paper. Cover the flowers with another layer of paper, then place a heavy object, like a stack of books, on top to apply gentle pressure.

After a few weeks, your flowers will have dried and flattened, ready to be transformed into a stunning pressed flower frame or piece of floral artwork. For the best results, it's best to entrust this process to the skilled hands of professionals, who can ensure that your precious blooms are preserved with the utmost care and attention.

More Than Just Decor

When you choose to preserve your wedding flowers, you're not just creating a beautiful piece of decor; you're preserving a piece of your love story. These keepsakes become a tangible reminder of the emotions and memories that made your wedding day so special, a way to slow down and savour the moments that matter most.

I believe that every flower tells a story, and we're honoured to help you capture and preserve the beauty of your wedding day. Whether you choose a pressed flower frame, a floral artwork, or a custom-designed keepsake, your preserved blooms will become a cherished part of your home, a daily reminder of the love that brought you together.
