Pressed flowers can be make wonderful memories as well as artful wall decorations for your home. This pressed flower vendor typically creates her own art, but the images are good for seeing the possibilities for pressing your wedding bouquet or a selection of reception flowers.
At this site, pressed flowers can be $75 or less all the way up to $250. Performing the pressing yourself is a more economical way to do things, but considering the cost, the quality, and the fact that this is something you will want to save in perpetuity, you are probably better off having a professional do the work for you.

Kate Chu - the woman who's website we linked to in the article is based in Orange County, California. If you are interested in having a professional do it, she is highly recommended - as she has won several awards for her work and is an active member of the community.

If you don't want to do it yourself, and you aren't in orange county, call around to some of your local florists. While it's not a commonly offered service, it's not an uncommon hobby for those in the industry and you will probably find someone who is willing to work for you.
