Flowers naturally change as they dry and press. Whites may yellow, pinks can fade, and greenery can become muted.
That transformation is completely normal — but when a bouquet holds sentimental meaning, preserving the flowers is only part of the story.
At Pressed Botanicals, color correction is used to gently restore some of the color lost during preservation.
Pressing Preserves the Flower Not Always the Color
Every flower reacts differently to pressing. Some hold their color beautifully, while others shift dramatically.
Color correction helps bring the finished piece closer to the bouquet you remember.

What Is Color Correction?
Color correction is the process of carefully adding pigment back into individual pressed flowers after they have dried.
The goal is not to repaint the bouquet, but to restore color while keeping the flower’s natural texture, shape, and character.
Each flower is corrected individually by hand.
Why It Matters
A bouquet is often remembered by its colors just as much as its flowers.
Restoring those tones helps the finished artwork feel more connected to the original bouquet rather than simply looking like dried flowers.
White flowers are one of the biggest examples, as they often dry cream, yellow, or tan.

Keeping It Natural
Pressed flowers will always have texture, delicate edges, and natural variations — and we want to keep them.
Color correction should enhance the flower, not make it look artificial.
For us, it’s simply another way to preserve the bouquet as closely as possible to the way you remember it.
