The Floral Portrait- About Us

Where Memories Become Art

Our pressed floral designs are more than just a wedding keepsake. Each portrait is truly a work of art; an artistic interpretation of your special flowers. Through the years, many brides have told us they appreciate receiving a piece of art that they can be proud to display rather than a wedding souvenir that inevitably will be put away. Unlike bulky, three-dimensional freeze-dried or air-dried bouquets, your pressed floral picture will look appropriate forever.

Why We Press Flowers

Several different methods can be used to preserve flowers. The Floral Portrait specializes in pressing, as it is the most permanent and reliable method of bouquet preservation. Freeze-drying is another popular technique for floral preservation; however, freeze-dried flowers may prove disappointing as a lifetime keepsake since they are fragile to maintain and may crumble and deteriorate over time. While freeze-dried or air-dried bouquets may cost a little less, your bouquet may last only a few years.

Plan to Preserve Your Flowers Now

Many brides do not consider their options for the bouquet preservation until weeks after the wedding and are disappointed to find that it is too late. With all methods of preservation, best results are obtained when the flowers are received within a few days after the wedding. Wedding bouquets are easy to pack and ship via overnight service to us. However, if your bouquet is not shipped within a few days of the wedding, we do offer a replacement flower service. No special cooler or box is necessary for safe shipping.
