Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend booking as soon as you know that you'd like to get your flowers pressed! 6-12 months before your wedding date is ideal and allows you to reduce stress around arranging drop off of your florals!
However, we do accept bookings closer to your wedding date. We are currently accepting bookings for 2026 weddings.
We are located in Tavistock, Ontario. We currently do not offer shipping, bouquets are required to be dropped off to us in Tavistock which is located about 30 minutes from Kitchener-Waterloo, 45 minutes from London and 1-1.5 hours from GTA.
We can arrange pick up and drop off services for an additional fee, please email us if you require your bouquet to be picked up.
We do accept last minute bookings, however, bookings made the week of your event (excluding memorial bouquets) are subject to a $50.00 late fee added to your final payment. If you are booking last minute, please send us an email to petalpressdesignsco@gmail.com or message us on Instagram: @petalpressdesigns to confirm our availability. We strive to answer messages within 24 hours.
The process of drying and pressing flowers is intricate, delicate, and time-intensive, and cannot be rushed. Each bloom is pressed individually over the course of several weeks, after which your bouquet is thoughtfully reconstructed and designed. During our peak summer wedding season, this process typically takes 5–7 months. You will receive an email notification once your floral keepsake is ready for pickup.
Fresher flowers press best, so we recommend that your bouquet arrive within four days of your event. This helps preserve the color, shape, and overall beauty of your blooms — the sooner they reach us, the better the results. If your bouquet is older and you’re booking last-minute, please send us photos and we’ll be happy to explore the preservation options available to you.
Absolutely! We love creating custom pieces for our clients, if you have a large size piece in mind, please send us an email so we can discuss options and pricing.
As flowers are pressed and preserved, their colors may shift subtly — a natural and beautiful part of the floral preservation process. Soft pinks may deepen into richer tones, while whites may warm into creamy or light beige hues. Over time, gentle fading can occur; to help preserve their beauty, we recommend keeping your piece out of direct sunlight and away from highly humid environments. Each flower presses uniquely, resulting in a one-of-a-kind artwork to be cherished for years to come.
Yay! We are so excited and honoured to be able to press your sentimental flowers. To book please navigate to our Book Online page, where we will require you to fill out the form.
