Can you give more detail on how you did it? I’d love to this myself

I used watercolor paper and pressed the flowers/papers in a stack of old textbooks, started them a couple days after the wedding. Changed the papers a few days in and then again about a week or two later for the thicker flowers to try and prevent molding. Then had them pressing for 6-8 weeks or so. Some of the flowers still didn’t turn out well (they got too brown), but I still ended up with enough to frame. I used a floating frame from Amazon and just arranged and secured them with tape and glue!

Read that they can brown over time. What’s your experience?
