When selecting flowers for artwork/pressing think about choosing several complementary colors (one color alone is not as striking in the finished picture). It is also important to choose different shapes and sizes of flowers for contrast and interest

GLUE: Some florists use glue to
hold the flowers in the bouquet. This presents a problem to
the floral preservation specialist because it is very
difficult to remove the flowers from the bouquet without
damaging them. The glue gets into our presses and destroys
them along with your precious flowers. Please ask your
florist not to use glue in the construction of your bouquet.
THANKS!
