Transforming Your Florals

At Pressed Petal Artistry, we transform your cherished florals into lasting keepsakes with meticulous care. Here’s a closer look at the journey your flowers will take:

  1. Expert Inspection & Hydration: Upon arrival, we thoroughly examine your flowers and provide gentle hydration to prepare them for preservation.
  • Delicate Deconstruction: We carefully take apart your flowers, bloom by bloom or if necessary, petal by petal.
  • Pressing for Perfection: Your flowers are carefully placed in a press for several weeks. We meticulously check the press and change the paper three times a week, while some flowers require daily monitoring during the first week to prevent moulding.
  • Timeless Beauty Takes Time: The drying and pressing process can take up to 12 to 16 weeks depending on the flower variety and season.
  • Reconstruction & Design Options: Once dry, your flowers are removed from the press and meticulously reconstructed. This is where the artistry begins!
  • Personalize Your Keepsake: Choose the perfect frame size, colour, and type of glass to personalize your lasting floral masterpiece and pay the balance owing.
  • Final Design Approval & Completion: Once final payment is received and you’ve chosen and approved your design, we meticulously glue everything down (at this stage there is no change of mind on design). Once complete, we’ll contact you to arrange pickup (free on the Mornington Peninsula) or shipping (at your cost).

We’ll keep you informed throughout this process, ensuring you’re part of creating a cherished memory that lasts a lifetime.
