Bouquet to wall in about 5 months.
Most of that is the press doing its quiet work. Here's the whole thing, no surprises.
- Today
Reserve your date
Pick a frame size and hold your wedding date with a $147 deposit. Dates are first come, first served.
- Within 3 days of the wedding
Get the bouquet to me
Fresh flowers press best. Drop off in Afton or Farmington, or ship overnight Monday through Wednesday. I'll email exact packing steps the week of your wedding: stems wrapped in a damp paper towel, boxed snug. Shipping is on you; a prepaid label is available at cost.
- Weeks 1 to 10
Into the press
Every bloom is taken apart, laid on blotting paper and pressed. I change the paper every couple of days at the start to pull the moisture out, then the flowers rest. You'll get a photo when your bouquet goes in and when it comes out.
- Around week 10
You approve the design
I arrange the pressed petals on the backing board and send you a photo. Want a bloom moved or the ribbon showing? Say so. Nothing is glued until you say yes.
- After approval
Balance, then framing
Your balance is invoiced when you approve. Once it is paid, your design is set and framed in your chosen wood behind real glass.
- About 4 to 5 months after the wedding
Home it goes
Pick it up in Afton, or I ship it to you, carefully packed. Then it goes on the wall, and I hope you send me a photo.
The Petal Daze promise
Nothing gets glued until you love the layout. If something isn't right, tell me and I'll rearrange it until it is.
If a bloom doesn't press well, I'll show you before I design around it, and I never swap in flowers that weren't yours.
If anything ever shifts behind the glass, I'll fix it.
