Pressed flower art transforms real flowers into lasting works of art — from framed botanical compositions to resin bookmarks and wedding preservation. Shopify lets botanical artists sell these delicate, one-of-a-kind pieces to nature lovers worldwide.

WHAT YOU NEED TO START
01

Flower Pressing Equipment

A professional flower press or heavy books with blotting paper, a microwave press for quick results, and silica gel for 3D flower preservation.

02

Art Supplies

Frames (float frames showcase pressed flowers beautifully), acid-free backing paper, UV-protective glass, tweezers, archival adhesive, and resin supplies if making encased pieces.

03

Flower Sourcing

Grow your own cutting garden, forage locally (with permits), or buy from flower farms and farmers markets. Different seasons provide different botanical materials.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
01

Build Your Botanical Library

Press flowers year-round to build a diverse collection. Catalog by color, size, type, and season. Store pressed flowers flat in acid-free paper away from light.

02

Develop Product Categories

Offer framed art, resin bookmarks/coasters, phone cases, greeting cards, and wedding bouquet preservation as a premium service.

03

Create a Signature Style

Whether it's botanical accuracy, whimsical arrangements, or modern minimalism — a consistent aesthetic helps customers recognize your work.

04

Photograph Against Clean Backgrounds

Photograph framed pieces on walls in styled rooms. Show detail shots of individual flowers. For resin pieces, capture the transparency and depth.

05

Launch on Shopify

Build collections by product type, occasion, and color palette. Highlight that each piece uses real, hand-pressed flowers for a unique selling proposition.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Offer wedding bouquet preservation as a premium service ($200-500+) — brides actively search for this and it's high-margin work

Use UV-protective glass or UV-resistant resin to prevent color fading — and mention this quality feature prominently in listings

Create a seasonal pressing calendar to ensure you have diverse botanical materials year-round for consistent production

Package delicate framed pieces with corner protectors and 'fragile' labels — and ship in rigid boxes with generous padding

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long do pressed flowers last?

Properly pressed and framed flowers can last 5-20+ years. Using UV-protective glass or UV-resistant resin significantly extends color vibrancy. Avoid hanging in direct sunlight. Resin-encased flowers are the most durable option.

What flowers press best?

Flat, thin flowers press best: pansies, daisies, violets, cosmos, Queen Anne's lace, and ferns. Thick flowers like roses need to be split or use silica gel. Dark-colored flowers retain color better than light pastels over time.

How do I ship framed pressed flower art safely?

Wrap the frame in bubble wrap, place corner protectors on all four corners, and ship in a picture-shipping box with rigid cardboard. Mark as 'fragile' and 'glass.' Consider shipping without glass and including the glass separately for extra safety.
