Pressed Flower Bouquet Design Guide
Pressed flower bouquets are a niche offering but a growing trend — the bride carries a frame or resin bouquet of pressed florals that doubles as a keepsake. These are labor-intensive but priceable at premium because the uniqueness is high and supply is low.
Key characteristics
The pressed flower bouquet aesthetic
Pressed flower work involves flattening fresh flowers, drying them between books or in a flower press, and arranging them in resin, acrylic frames, or as accents in a traditional bouquet base. The result is part bouquet, part keepsake, and completely unique — no two pressed bouquets look the same.

Design tips for this style
Start pressing 6–8 weeks before the wedding. You can't rush this process.
Press 2x more material than you need — some flowers discolor or break during drying.
Quote pressed work at 2x–3x standard bouquet rates. The labor justifies it and the uniqueness supports it.
