It's best to press your flowers as soon as possible to prevent any wilting prior to pressing and to maintain the vibrance of colors. If possible, the morning after your event is best to press your flowers (see "how do I overnight my bouquet" for further details if shipping of your bouquet is needed). Floral arrangements should ideally be pressed within 3 days maximum of your event-please ensure that you are switching the water in your vase daily to prevent any additional wilting of your bouquet.
The pressing process takes about 3-4 weeks from the time of bouquet drop off to completion of your frame.

-Keep flowers in fresh water up until the time of packaging your bouquet.
-When getting ready to ship your flowers, remove any ribbon or decorative pieces from around the stems and cut a couple of inches off of the stems at an angle-you don't want to cut the stems too short, but they also need to fit in the box (keep stems 6-8 inches long at a minimum). Then add wet paper towel around the bottom of the stems to keep them hydrated during shipping.
-Place a plastic bag with rubber band around the bottom of stems/paper towel to keep the paper towel moist.
-Place flowers in large box with decent amount of loose dry paper towels that surround the flowers on all sides to keep flowers in place and to prevent wilting.
-You can fill the extra space around the flowers/paper towel with packing paper, newspaper, or other cushioning material (**please do not use bubble wrap as this can cause additional wilting). **The dry paper towel should the ONLY thing directly surrounding all of your flowers.
-Ensure you choose overnight shipping with next day delivery. If shipping on a Sunday, UPS should be open-check your local UPS store for hours. If shipping on Monday, you can use FedEx or UPS.
