Yes! Flowers From Lena specializes in the art of color enhancement for pressed flower designs. Over the past four years, unique color mediums, formulas, and mixtures have been developed to create vivid, portrait-style pieces.
Naturally, pressed flowers lose much of their color as they dry, and over time they continue to fade. To preserve their beauty, each design is carefully enhanced with a soft and delicate touch of color, ensuring that every piece becomes a true work of lasting art.

Yes! Flowers From Lena does not restrict any flowers for bouquet preservation—any flower can be pressed and preserved. However, it is important to note that not all flowers press the same. Some varieties naturally maintain their color and shape better than others.
With every design, pressed flowers may appear 1–3 shades different from their fresh state. This transformation is part of the beautiful metamorphosis that flowers undergo during natural preservation. Through specialized color enhancement techniques, additional color is carefully applied to help the design reflect the bouquet’s original beauty as closely as possible.
Because each flower is unique, different pressing methods are used to achieve the best possible result. Final outcomes may vary slightly depending on the flower’s type, color, size, weight, and thickness.

Yes! Clients can further customize their bouquet preservation by adding cards, photos, ribbons and more to their design. Please note that some requests may incur an additional fee, and all items must fit within the selected frame. At the time of booking, please include a description of any additional design materials. It is the client’s responsibility to provide these materials, though I am happy to help accommodate customization requests whenever possible at no extra cost.
Forever! Pressed flowers are a timeless way to preserve the beauty of real flowers. While pressed flowers can truly last forever, they are a real product of nature, so they will gradually change over time.
Once your pressed floral design is complete, the flowers have been fully dried, preserved and sealed. Flowers From Lena designs include delicate color enhancement using custom color mediums to help maintain the vibrancy of your pressed floral bouquet.
As with any piece of art, your frame should be cared for properly—keep it clean, away from humidity and out of direct sunlight to ensure the best long-term results.
Bouquet preservations take approximately 8–11 months to complete, depending on the size of your bouquet and the types of flowers included. This detailed, time-intensive process involves multiple stages of pressing, flattening and drying the flowers, followed by a delicate and lengthy color enhancement phase.
The timeline accounts for the complexity of the preservation process, the intricate color enhancement and floral reconstruction stages, as well as the high volume of clients.
I am happy to work with clients who would benefit from a payment plan. Payment plans can be arranged for any 16x20 commission or multiple design requests. Please include this in your booking request.
