The Ultimate Care Guide for Your Pressed Flower Frame: Preserve Your Memories Forever
Don't let your flowers become another memory tucked away in a box
If you've chosen to preserve your flowers, it's probably because they meant something.
Maybe they remind you of your wedding day. Maybe they came from someone you love. Maybe they mark a moment you'll never experience again.
Whatever their story, I know you didn't preserve them just to put them away.
At Earth Tone, I believe flowers deserve to be seen, remembered and enjoyed every day. If you'd like to learn more about the story behind Earth Tone, you can read a little about me here. My hope is that every frame becomes more than a piece of artwork. It's a keepsake to treasure forever, filled with memories you'll revisit every time you walk past it.
I've put together this simple care guide to help you look after your pressed flower frame, so it remains as beautiful as the day you received it.
Why caring for your pressed flowers matters
Every pressed flower frame I create is handcrafted using real flowers. Each stem, petal and leaf has been carefully arranged by hand and handled with love and care throughout the preservation process.
Although your flowers have been preserved, they're still part of nature. Like anything natural, they'll continue to change gently over time.
The wonderful thing is that looking after your frame doesn't need to be complicated. A few simple habits will help protect the colours and craftsmanship, allowing you to enjoy your keepsake for many years to come.
After all, this isn't just about flowers.
It's about turning flowers into memories.
It's about pausing your florals in time.
It's about creating something that's made to live on your walls, not in a box.

Keep your frame away from direct sunlight
One of the simplest ways to care for your pressed flower frame is to keep it out of direct sunlight.
I know you'll want to display your frame somewhere you can admire it every day, and I want that too. The best place is somewhere bright but away from direct sunlight.
Over time, strong sunlight can naturally soften the colours of real flowers. Choosing a spot with indirect light helps your keepsake stay vibrant for longer.
Think of it as giving your memories the little bit of protection they deserve.
Choose a dry room
Your flowers have already been carefully preserved, but they still don't enjoy damp environments.
Bathrooms and other humid spaces can introduce moisture that may affect both the flowers and the frame over time.
Instead, display your frame somewhere dry, such as a living room, bedroom or hallway.
I always encourage people to choose somewhere they'll naturally see every day. One of the loveliest things about preserving flowers is that the memories don't stay hidden away. They become part of your home and your everyday life.

Dust gently
Like anything displayed in your home, your frame may collect a little dust from time to time.
Simply wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth whenever needed.
There's no need for sprays or harsh cleaning products. A gentle touch is all it needs.
Looking after your frame should feel easy, allowing you to spend less time worrying about it and more time enjoying the memories it holds.
Handle with care
Every Earth Tone frame is completely unique.
Each flower has been individually arranged by hand, making every piece one of a kind.
If you ever move your frame, hold it securely with both hands and avoid any knocks or drops.
Just like the flowers themselves, your keepsake deserves a little extra care.

Where should I display my pressed flower frame?
One of the questions I'm asked most often is where a pressed flower frame looks best.
My answer is always the same.
Choose somewhere you'll see it often.
Whether that's in your hallway as you come home, above your bedside table, in your living room or beside your desk, the best place is somewhere that makes you pause for a moment.
Every glance becomes a reminder of the people, places and moments that made those flowers so special.
That's why I love creating pressed flower art.
Your flowers aren't hidden away in a memory box. They're part of your home, ready to be enjoyed every single day.
Will my flowers stay the same forever?
This is another question I receive a lot.
Because your frame contains real flowers, they'll naturally soften and mature over time. That's part of their beauty.
With the right care, your flowers can be enjoyed for many years, but like all things in nature, they'll never remain exactly the same forever.
I actually think that's rather lovely.
Your flowers continue their story, just as the memories they represent continue to grow with you.

A keepsake to treasure forever
Whether your flowers are from your wedding day, a celebration, a farewell or simply a moment you wanted to hold onto, I know how much they mean.
That's why every frame I create is made with patience, care and respect for the story behind the flowers.
It isn't just about preserving petals.
It's about preserving a feeling.
It's about creating a piece you'll look at every day and be reminded of the people and moments you never want to forget.
