No, we do not ship back any glass vases or other items that may be used to hold or decorate your bouquet stems.

Overnight shipping is strongly encouraged for bouquets that are not sent the day after the wedding. Fresh bouquets must be sent within 5 business days after the wedding. During shipment, some flowers may brown or lose petals. Overnight shipment can reduce the risk of this occurring. While we will not reject a bouquet if it is sent with standard shipping, please note that the flowers will always be worked with in the condition that they are received. We suggest using UPS or FedEx for all shipments. DRIED bouquets: We would suggest using bubble wrap or crumpled newspaper to lightly place the bouquet within the packaging materials. Overnight shipping is not necessary for a dried bouquet.

We recommend looking into discounted shipping with our Expedited Shipping Labels. Many of our clients have saved on retail prices for shipping labels. We will always share saving opportunities with our clients when applicable. You can also get an estimate on overnight shipping costs by using UPS's shipping calculator tool and our zip code, 18042.

Ship your flowers to us for preservation with ease and at a discounted rate! Our Pre-Paid Fresh Flower Shipping Label through UPS is the convenient, cost-effective solution for ensuring your blooms arrive safely and on time. DISCLAIMERS: This shipping label is exclusively for sending flowers to us for preservation. It cannot be used for other purposes. This label is valid for ONE box UP TO 20x20x20" with a weight of UP TO 10lbs. We recommend a box that is 16x16x16" with a weight of 7lbs. This label is for one box, if you plan to send more than one box of flowers please purchase additional labels. The return address will be the same as the shipping address, which is our shop address, 915 Northampton Street Easton, PA 18042. The label is only good for 60 days upon purchase! If it is not used within that timeframe, there will be a $25 fee to remake and send the label. While we are purchasing the shipping label for you, we are not physically shipping your box (once your box leaves your hands- it is the responsibility of UPS). We are not responsible for the shipping or loss of packages. This is only valid for United States shipping. Your pre-paid label will be emailed to you upon purchase. Please note, our team works standard business hours and manually creates these labels after each purchase.

At this time we do not currently accept orders from outside of the United States. However, if you are getting married within the U.S. and have a relative with a U.S. address, we can ship your finished pressed bouquet to them.

Although we take great care to package our pieces with as much protection as possible, we understand that damage may occur during shipping transportation. In the event that this occurs, we ask that you leave the piece as is and reseal the box. We will send you a prepaid return label, repair the frame at our shop, and send it back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, we do! We offer complimentary in-person and virtual consultations for all prospective clients. During your consultation, we will discuss best florals for preservation, our product options, and get a better understanding of your end vision.

Yes, The Pressed Bouquet Shop by Element works with local florists to recreate bouquets based on photos of the original florals and greenery. There is no additional charge for this service, except the cost of the flowers and greens which will be paid when the order is placed. Please keep in mind that we try to source the best matching flowers for your recreation. Seasons, geographical location, and other obstacles may affect the overall appearance of the recreation. If you are considering this option, please email us a few photos of your original bouquet to get started. We will follow up in a few days with a quote from our florist, and the next steps in creating your beautiful keepsake!

Yes! Not only do we preserve wedding bouquets, but we also preserve your custom floral arrangements for any event or occasion such as a funeral, memorial, prom and homecoming, graduation, etc. Browse our custom collections for frame, resin, and bundle deals.

All flowers change slightly when preserved in resin due to the chemical reaction with the natural petals. Most often we notice white flowers having a more yellow hue, and single-layer flowers with transparency. Other changes may occur due to the nature of the process.

Sometimes we can press faux flowers, please reach out to our client relations team and provide a list of flowers and/or photos of the bouquet.

Yes! Although we cannot press your flowers, we can use the dried petals in your original bouquet to create petal confetti style resin pieces. We can turn your bouquet into a custom set of coasters, a resin display tray, resin ring dish, resin ornament or a resin serving tray. Alternatively we can recreate your bouquet using fresh flowers from our partner florist to use in any of our custom preservation options. Please contact our client relations team to learn more and get the process started!

Yes, we can! When pressed, white flowers tend to shift to a beautiful blonde/cream color. We are happy to press your all white bouquet into a framed artwork or functional resin keepsake. We recommend choosing our float frame option, rather than our archival grade background when making your frame selection to showcase the beauty of your white bouquet.

Each frame design is protected by 99% coated UV glass. However, due to the fact that we are working with real florals, the pigmentation in your bouquet will naturally fade overtime. We do not use any paint, dye, or color enhancements in our preservation process. We appreciate the natural pigmentation and textures in your bouquet, and reflect that in our designs. Additionally, the clarity in resin pieces may fade to represent an antiqued amber color, which is a common occurrence in any resin product. While your bouquet display may arrive vibrant and colorful, it will likely fade overtime. In order to keep it looking as close to the original as possible for as long as possible, we suggest keeping the display away from bright lighting and sunlight. Each flower will fade/discolor at different rates, but keeping the display in a temperature controlled, dimly lit space will help to extend the color of the pressed blooms.

In our pressed bouquet pieces, we're committed to preserving each flower's natural beauty without using artificial enhancements or dyes. Every petal and leaf holds a unique story, from the original hues to the subtle shifts that happen over time, showcasing the organic charm of each bloom. By letting flowers retain their original shades and textures, we honor the beauty that nature intended, bringing you a piece that reflects the authenticity of your special moment. Each preserved bouquet captures the true essence of your flowers, creating a one-of-a-kind, naturally beautiful keepsake that's as timeless as your memories. Due to the fact that we are working with real florals, the pigmentation in your bouquet will naturally fade overtime.

Quicksand roses (commonly known as Sahara/Amnesia roses), the queen of color change, undergo the biggest color transformation once pressed. When fresh, quicksands embody elegance with their soft and dusty blush color. Yet, once pressed, they undergo a dramatic color change.
