Pressed wedding bouquets · Afton, MN
The flowers you carried, kept.
I press your wedding bouquet by hand and frame it in solid wood behind real glass. You see the design and approve it before a single petal is glued.
Frames from $487 · $147 holds your date · Drop off near Afton or ship from anywhere
How it works
Three steps, one very patient press.
Reserve your date
Pick a frame, tell me your wedding date, and hold your spot with a $147 deposit. Two minutes, start to finish.
Get the bouquet to me
Drop it off near Afton within 3 days of the wedding, or overnight it in a box I'll tell you exactly how to pack. Fresher is better.
I press, you approve, I frame
8 to 10 weeks in the press, then I lay out the petals and send you a photo to approve before anything is glued down.

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.
Hi, I'm Annabelle. I press every bouquet myself in a little studio in Afton, Minnesota. It's slow, fussy, wonderful work, and I'd love to do it for your flowers.

Questions
The things every bride asks me
Will my flowers actually turn out?
Most do, beautifully. Some flowers press better than others, so tell me what's in your bouquet and I'll be honest before you pay a thing. And you approve the layout before anything is glued.
What if they're a little wilted by the time I get them to you?
A little droop is fine. Get the bouquet to me within 3 days, keep it cool and out of the sun, and I'll take it from there. Bruised petals get left out, and I never swap in flowers that weren't yours.
How do I get it to you?
Drop it off in Afton, or ship it overnight Monday through Wednesday. I'll email you exact packing steps the week of your wedding.
Why does it take 4 to 5 months?
Your flowers spend 8 to 10 weeks in the press. Rushing that is how petals brown. Then comes your design, your approval, and framing. You get a photo when your bouquet goes in and when it comes out.
Why not a cheaper one online?
You could! Here's the difference: if you drop off, your bouquet never leaves Minnesota. You approve the design before it's glued. It goes behind real glass in solid wood. And the person answering your email is the person pressing your flowers.
