Whether you are saving a special bouquet or want to create your own preserved flower art, proper framing is the key to retaining the beauty of dried flowers. Understanding how to prepare your flowers and what to expect from the framer ensures the flowers are preserved to last a lifetime.

Most flowers require pressing or hang drying for three weeks to ensure all the moisture has evaporated.
