our experience
Floral preservation is way more than sticking a rose in a book and walking away.
Karmen and Carrie have preserved over 100 bouquets and special occasion florals into frames, ornaments, cards, gift tags and other gift items. Each flower arrangement takes roughly 19 hours of deconstructing, pressing, changing papers in the press to prevent mold, reconstructing florals and gluing style layouts.

testimonials
When I got married a few years ago, I didn't know what my floral preservation options were, and while I have still been able to keep my dried bouquet, how it looks today is very different from the lush blooms I had on my wedding day. If I had known that keeping my flowers safe and looking like they did on the wedding day was an option, I would have gone this route in a heartbeat! However, since I didn't have Karmen preserve my wedding flowers, my mother in law surprised me this year by commissioning a piece in colors that hint at my wedding bouquet in a stunning cross layout. Karmen's traditional bouquet preservation layouts are stunning, but there is certainly more to what Story Pressed can do! Karmen's work is intricate, delicate, and intentional. Whether it's flowers from a wedding, another occasion, or just a favorite bloom you stumbled upon, she will turn them into beautiful art and preserve them for life! I have recommended Story Pressed to many of my planning clients, and will continue to do so for any brides I know who are looking for a way to preserve their wedding florals. I can't recommend Karmen enough!
