Have you ever really looked at a rose, the way its petals curve like folds of silk? For almost 70 years, the florists at Watanabe Floral, Inc. have been creating intricate, exquisite floral designs. These professionals are the authority on flowers in Hawaii, and they serve Honolulu with pride. Not only does Watanabe Floral, Inc. know the importance of strong, fragrant rose, but they hold a deep passion for the way all flowers sprout from seeds.

These florists also have a passion for finding beauty where others may not see it. When your flowers are about to die, it is customary to throw them away, but did you know that you can flatten and preserve them? This process is called flower pressing, and it's a phenomenal way to turn flowers into works of art:

1. Gather Flowers: Take any flowers from the arrangement that appeal to you. If a deep orange Gerbera daisy strikes you, place it in the batch. If a rich purple Peruvian lily catches your eye, place it next to the daisy. When you have gathered all the flowers you need, you may want to trim off their stems, but this is not necessary. The florists at Watanabe Floral, Inc. enjoy pressing flowers with and without stems.
2. Find A Large Book: A telephone book or dictionary would be perfect here. After you've found a large book, line it with parchment paper and place the flowers face down. Keep in mind that when pressing flowers, it's important to secure them with enough weight.
3. Add More Weight: After you've closed the book, weigh it down (say, with a jar of tomato sauce) and do not disturb it for seven to ten days. Soon, you will have gorgeous pressed flowers to make collages with, to place in picture frames, or even to share on individual canvasses as small tokens of love.

Whether you are in need of wedding flowers, sympathy flowers, birthday flowers, or flowers for any other occasion, you can count on the florists at Watanabe Floral, Inc. to craft you the most exquisite arrangements.
