The Pressing Process
Flower preservation takes quite a bit of time—we can't rush Mother Nature! We want to ensure that each arrangement gets the attention it needs (and deserves) to last a lifetime so we don't sacrifice quality for time.
You can find updates on where your order stands and our current turnaround time below. Please remember that we're full-time students here at Flowers Of The Press and we're working as hard as we can to stick to our timelines.
As always, if you have any questions, reach out to us at hello@flowersofthepress.com
A Look Into Our Process & Timeline
-
Putting Into The Press 1-3 Hours
When fresh flowers arrive, we have to get them pressed within the first 24 hours. Depending on the size of the bouquet it can take our preservation specialists one to three hours to properly unbox, take apart, and put your flowers into the press.
-
Drying & Pressing 6-8 Weeks
This is where we let Mother Nature do her magic! Your flowers will take 6-8 weeks to properly dry and lose all of their moisture. We check your flowers every two days for the first week to ensure they are drying correctly. Depending on how busy our season is, we might not be able to take your flowers out of the press for 2-4 months!
-
Arranging & Gluing 2-3 Hours
Removing them from the press takes about 30 minutes and (once again depending on the bouquet and order) our designers can take up to 4 hours arranging and glueing your flowers. This can take more time if you opt to see the design before gluing and or if you chose to upgrade to art glass.
-
Framing & Shipping 2-4 Hours
We ensure that your flowers are handled with the upmost care while framing. We've worked tirelessly to nail down our shipping process, but packaging up each frame still takes us two to three hours per piece. Despite our caution, if any damage occurs during shipping we ask that you please contact us immediately.
Current Turnaround Time Is 4-5 Months
We're currently working on flowers we received in October 2023.
When your flowers are on queue we'll send you an email confirming the details of your order. From there, you'll have the final product between one and three weeks.
Thank you for your love and patience! We're working to get our turnaround time down to three months.

***REMINDER: WE DO OFFER THE OPTION OF A RUSHED FEE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PUSHING YOUR ORDER TO THE FRONT OF THE DESIGN QUEUE, PLEASE REACH OUT. PRICE WILL BE DETERMINED ON HOW BUSY THE SEASON IS AND HOW QUICKLY IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED.
