Pressed Flower Keepsakes

Flower pressing is an ancient craft of drying and preserving special flowers, and this is a way of creating keepsake tokens of funeral flowers to remember a loved one. This gentle art of flower pressing will be a quiet time for contemplation by creating beautiful mementoes.

Flowers can be pressed using a specialist flower press that has strong card inserts and tightening screws. You will have the best results with flat and not bulky flowers. Don’t overlap the flowers, as these will take longer to dry out. Once the flowers
have dried out delicately create little cards, bookmarks, or framed pictures to give to family and friends as a remembrance gift. Ask your florist, as they may provide a flowerpressing service for you.
