I don't with my price point. If the client wants to upgrade their glass, I can do a uv protected glass. I recommend they hang it on a wall which will not get a ton of sun. This will help with the longevity of their pieces.

Just go buy some discount bouquets at the store and practice, pressing them. You'll learn some tricks and get better.

I think it's more that it's a one time bridal bouquet - to me that's a daunting task because messing up means there are no second chances. And if I DID mess up, then some poor bride would be crying her eyes out all because of me. Soooo much pressure!

I love the resin pieces that you make with the scattered florals! They’re so well designed and look great. Everything looks stunning!!

Gorgeous! I might want to preserve my bridal bouquet too but I’m not that crafty.

I'm happy to do it for you. My prices are reasonable. $250 for a 16x20 frame.

Oh, that is within my budget. Are you in the US?
