Pressed Flower Diploma Frame | 16x20 Graduation Keepsake

Four years of work. One frame that does it justice.

A diploma usually ends up in the cardboard folder it came in, somewhere in a closet. Yours took late nights, early clinicals, a thesis, a bar exam, a second job, or all of the above. The Pressed Flower Diploma Frame floats your diploma, degree, or certificate between two panes of glass in a 16x20 solid wood frame, with real pressed flowers and green ruscus hand placed at opposite corners so the document stays the focus.

It is the frame you hang in your first office. The one your parents hang in the hallway. The one that makes a piece of paper look like the accomplishment it is.

Choose your flowers

Every frame comes with pressed green ruscus at miroring corners, paired with your choice of bloom:

• Blue delphinium. Soft, airy, and the most requested. Works with nearly any school color

• Red spray roses. Classic and bold. A natural match for crimson, maroon, and scarlet schools

• White spray roses. Clean and timeless. Lets the diploma do the talking

• Yellow spray roses. Bright and warm. Made for gold, maize, and sunflower school colors

All flowers are real, pressed in our studio, and chosen to hold their color behind UV resistant glass. 

How it works

1. Choose your bloom. Select delphinium or red, white, or yellow spray roses.

2. Choose your frame finish. 

3. Send us your diploma. Order here, then mail your diploma or certificate in a bubble mailer to prevent bending.  Send the original or a high quality print. 

4. We professionally frame it by hand. A designer centers your document on the background, places the pressed flowers and ruscus at the corners, and seals it behind UV resistant glass.

5. It arrives ready to hang. Hardware installed.

Questions graduates and gift givers ask

Will my diploma be damaged?

The diploma should not be removed from the frame after adhesion. The document is mounted on archival board with permanent adhesive that can cause damage if attempting to remove in the future. 

Should I send the original or a copy?

Many registrars issue duplicate diplomas for a small fee, and some clients prefer to frame the duplicate and keep the original filed. Either works.

Will the flowers fade?

Yes, pressed flowers even behind UV resistant glass will fade. The progression of the fading is gradual, but will happen overtime. . Hang the frame out of direct sunlight to delay the aging progress. 

Will the paper yellow?

UV resistant glass protects paper the same way it protects flowers. Keeping the frame away from natural light will help to minimize discoloration over the years.

Can you frame something that is not a diploma?

Yes. Certificates, licenses, awards, ordinations, naturalization certificates, and any document up to 11x14 work the same way.

Can I pick a flower not on the list?

This frame is offered in the four blooms above so we can ship it quickly and keep the price where it is. For a fully custom piece, build out one of our framed bouquet listings and add a paper addition when customizing.
