Create a stunning Pressed Wedding Bouquet Frame to preserve the memories and beauty of your special day.

Ingredients

  • Fresh or dried wedding flowers (roses, lavender, etc.)
  • Heavy books or a flower press (optional)
  • High-quality watercolor paper or specialty pressing paper
  • Picture frame (preferably with glass)
  • Scissors (sharp for clean cuts)
  • Glue or double-sided tape (optional for extra security)
  • Tweezers (helpful for placing delicate flowers)

Instructions

  1. Select Your Flowers: Choose flowers from your wedding bouquet or any blooms that resonate with you. Consider their size and shape for the composition.
  2. Prepare the Press: If using a flower press, make sure it’s clean. If using heavy books, choose ones you won’t need for a while.
  3. Trim the Stems: Use scissors to carefully cut the stems of your selected blooms. Shorter stems will be easier to press and display.
  4. Arrange the Flowers: Lay your flowers between sheets of pressing paper in a way that feels balanced and pleasing to you. Use tweezers for delicate petals.
  5. Press the Blooms: Close the flower press or stack your books on top of the flowers. Leave them to dry for at least one to two weeks.
  6. Check for Completeness: After the pressing time, check if the flowers are completely dried. They should feel flat and crispy without moisture.
  7. Prepare Your Frame: Grab a clean picture frame. Decide whether you want a background color, such as a soft white or a gentle pastel, to enhance the flowers.
  8. Arrange the Pressed Flowers: Carefully remove the dried flowers and arrange them in the frame as desired. Consider layering or grouping for a more dimensional look.
  9. Secure the Design: If needed, use glue or double-sided tape to secure the flowers. Ensure they stay in place as you close the frame.
  10. Display Your Art: Place your newly created pressed flower art in a cherished location, allowing it to bring joy and remind you of your special day.

Notes

To ensure your Pressed Wedding Bouquet Frame lasts, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Gently dust the frame with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance.
