Lacey,
I have invested in a good canvas stretcher and taught myself to do my own gallery wraps.
It takes a bit of doing but you can ALWAYS hang it in a pinch or have what is called a float frame placed on the outside. They are relatively cheap, but quit effective. Both these approaches are quite contemporary so consider if they will work for your pieces. I don't mind some of my more flora-dora ones framed simply; as a matter of fact, most of my large pastels, ribbons, bows and all are framed in plexi boxes.
I have had frame companies send me catalogues with this kind of frame in it, they are probably available on the net as well.
Just a quick note, make sure your wrapped sides are thick, about 1 and 3/4' is good.
