Question 1

What if my wedding has already passed?

Accepted Answer

If your wedding or special event has already passed, you can skip the deposit and order your preservation directly from our shop page. We have a $400 minimum and will follow up with detailed packing and shipping instructions to ensure your flowers arrive safely. Not sure which option is right for you? Book a call with us for personalized guidance—we’re happy to answer your questions and help you choose the perfect preservation style.

Question 2

What can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Your cherished florals will be expertly preserved in the keepsakes of your choice, creating timeless pieces to remember and treasure for a lifetime. Each preservation is 100% handmade, and while we take the utmost care, small bubbles and slight imperfections are a natural part of the process and should be expected. We use silica sand drying to best maintain your flowers’ shape and color, but some natural color changes will occur—whites tend to amber, and colors often deepen or become more muted. Your preservation will be carefully packaged and shipped with the utmost care.

Question 3

Can I display my piece in direct sunlight?

Accepted Answer

To keep your preservation looking its best for years to come, it's important to store it away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure can cause dulling or ambering over time, which cannot be undone. For both resin and framed pieces, keep them in a safe, dry place away from humidity. Use a microfiber cloth to gently clean the surface. Our resin is VOC-free and food-grade safe, making it both eco-friendly and durable. For functional resin pieces like trays or coasters: ❌ Never use a knife or pierce them ❌ Do not place in the dishwasher ❌ Avoid hot water

Question 4

Will my flowers look exactly as they did when they were fresh?

Accepted Answer

Fresh and dried flowers will naturally look different. We use silica sand drying, the best method for preserving each bloom’s natural shape while minimizing color changes. However, some shifts in color are expected—whites will amber, and most colors will darken or become more muted. Learn more about color changes here. Unless specifically requested, your preservation is designed to be a representation of your bouquet, not an exact replica. Each piece is crafted with care to honor your flowers in a way that lasts a lifetime.

Question 5

How long will my piece last?

Accepted Answer

With routine care, your preservation will last a lifetime! Over the years, your piece will age gracefully with you, continuing the story of your special day. Some natural fading may occur over time, but with proper care, your flowers will remain a cherished keepsake for years to come.

Question 6

Can I preserve artificial flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! However some artificial flowers may not press into frames. Get in touch with us here to get all your questions answered.

Question 7

Do you charge for mock-up designs?

Accepted Answer

No, we offer free optional mock-up designs! Just ask, and we’ll send you a photo of your design after your flowers have dried but before we begin preservation. We welcome your feedback—let us know how we can make your design perfectly true to you.

Question 8

Can I use an air dried bouquet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If your bouquet is already dried, we can still create a stunning preservation for you. Extra care is needed when packing and shipping to ensure your flowers arrive safely. Learn more about how to ship your flowers here.

Question 9

Is there a minimum order amount?

Accepted Answer

We have a $400 minimum for bridal bouquet preservations to ensure each piece receives the time, care, and quality it deserves. Memorial preservations have no minimum. We work on a first-come, first-served basis unless you reserve your date in advance.

Question 10

Will my flowers survive the shipping process?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Shipping your flowers is a race against time more than anything else. To ensure they arrive safely, visit our Packing & Shipping page for step-by-step instructions. We've had brides successfully ship flowers from Hawaii to Philadelphia! 🚚 Next-day shipping is required to minimize wilting. We can typically work with flowers up to 5–7 days after your event, but time is of the essence. If your event has already passed, learn more here. Unsure if your flowers are still viable? Book a call with us—we're happy to help!
