How do I commission a piece?
You can reach out to me at breeglassart@gmail.com to reserve your date and space in our flower presses. From there we will talk about what you’re looking for and form a plan to make it happen.
How much does it cost?
The cost to preserve your flowers is a flat fee of $80. When it comes to the cost of the keepsake, it really varies! See above for a pricing breakdown. Feel free to reach out to me directly for a more specific quote based on what you’re looking for.
When do I contact you to order? / I got married last weekend! Can you still press my flowers?
In order to give you and your flowers the time and care you deserve, I only take on a small number of clients at a time. If you wait until close to or after your wedding, I may be fully booked and not able to preserve your flowers. In addition, it is important to discuss the process and your wishes ahead of time. For these reasons, it is best to book with me well in advance. You are always welcome to reach out and ask and I may be able to accommodate you, even after your big day. But please note that there will be an additional $50 rush fee for those who book last minute or after their wedding. Think about it this way: you wouldn’t wait until last minute to contact a baker about your wedding cake, or a florist about your flowers. The same goes for flower preservation.
How long does it take?
It can take up to eight weeks. The flower pressing alone takes up half of that time frame.
Can all types of flowers be pressed?
Just about. Some types of flowers are better suited to it than others but the vast majority can be pressed. For questions about specific types of flowers, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Will the flowers look the same after they dry?
No. The vast majority of flowers change color as they dry. And the color will continue to change over time, depending on the type of flower and how much direct sunlight they receive. But this is not a bad thing! Pressed flowers are beautiful in their own right even as they change.
Can anyone commission a piece?
For best results, flowers need to be as fresh as possible when I place them in the flower press. For that reason, I usually work with folks in Chico, CA and the surrounding area. Feel free to send me an email about your specific scenario and I will do my best to accommodate you.
Do you work with LGBTQIA+ couples?
Yes! I see you, I fully support your rights, and I would be honored to work with your wedding flowers.
Do I pay up front?
I ask that you pay a small deposit to hold your date, but that deposit will be deducted from the final cost. The deposit is refundable up until four months before the wedding date. You do not pay the final amount until the piece is finished.
