about pressed flower shop
Hello! My name is Caitlin Torrez. I am a wife, mother of four beautiful, young children, and flower preservationist. I have been pressing and preserving flowers since I was a young girl, and it has been such a joy and blessing to be able to do this as a business for the past 12 years.
When I am not pressing flowers and making art, you can find me with my family. I'm a stay-at-home mom as well! We live north of the Twin Cities on a few acres. I hope to someday have a flower field of my own — but for now we are staying busy with cats, goats, fish, puppies, and chickens!
I draw my inspiration from the beauty of nature and the intricate details of vintage and antique craft. From old book covers to hand carved wood, I love anything full of care and history. My favorites also include my first cup of coffee in the morning, anything Jane Austen, jigsaw puzzles, historical romance books and shows, and beautifying my home.

Caitlin was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process before and after my wedding! She took the best care of all of my florals, making them into the most beautiful pieces of art. She knows how to make your florals look as stunning as they did on your wedding day & I would recommend her business to anyone getting married! (And I love that I got my extra florals dried and sent back to me, as well & she even included a stunning piece as a gift that we absolutely adore!) Thank you so much, Cait, for making pieces that we can look at (or wear!) and be brought back to our forever special day!

From the moment I came across Caitlin's work on Instagram, I knew I wanted Pressed Flower Shop to preserve my wedding bouquet. Looking through her work, I could see the immense amount of care, time, and creativity that she puts into every piece of art that she creates. She has such a kind soul, which really shines through in her art. I chose the frame that I wanted and trusted Caitlin to design and arrange the pieces however she thought was best.
I could not be happier with how they turned out! My pieces are absolutely stunning and the flowers look just as beautiful now as they did on my wedding day. I would choose Pressed Flower Shop to preserve my bouquet over and over again and highly recommend to any future brides!

I absolutely adore Caitlin. I found her shop in a time of complete vulnerability and immediately trusted her. She went above and beyond to ensure I had instructions to package my sons graveside flowers to arrive in the best condition possible for her to start working on them. When we got them back they gave me such peace, to date that frame is my most prized possession. I’ve used her for family friends and referred her to everyone that is in need of flower preservation since that time and so naturally when I got married last year there was only one choice for me and my bouquet! Everything she has created for me has been beautiful and unique and I love that I get the extra flowers and leaves back for future use if i want it.

Caitlin is incredible at what she does and truly cares about preserving your flowers, providing you with beautiful art pieces to commemorate your memories. I had my wedding bouquet (plus some extra blooms) preserved by her and I couldn't recommend her more!
Art (and the pressed flower process) take time, so according to her turnaround time, I received my beautiful framed bouquet, extra add ons AND the additional unused pressed flowers in a very carefully packed shipment with a sweet note from Caitlin. And now her beautiful pieces are in my home, ready to become my future family heirlooms. Do not hesitate to book with her. She will truly pour her heart into preserving your most special memories.
