Which flowers press well?
The most FAQ- which flowers press well?
I get asked this every week & it’s so hard to answer as there are A LOT of amazing flowers out there to name and list!
Each bouquet is unique so choose an amazing florist (I’m always happy to help with recommending someone) and you will have a beautiful frame!
