FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WE'RE BOOKED, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

1.  Shipping instructions will be sent and will include how to best package the flowers so that they don’t become damaged in transit. 

2. We will connect to learn more about you (or recipient), the event, and the expectations of the final floral arrangement.   Sample photos of the arrangement help me estimate the preservation time. 

3. Mail your arrangement.  You will need to arrange shipping that gets your flowers to me within 24-48 hours after the event. Fast and fresh is key!  

4. I will assess the flowers upon arrival and send you a status update.  From here I start the preservation process.  Some flowers dry in 5 - 7 days, others take 2 – 3 weeks.  Please know that flowers will lose color when they dry.  Reds and oranges will darken drastically, and white flowers can become translucent. We’re at nature’s mercy, but I will do my best to bring the flowers back to life visually with an artistic re-arrangement of the dried flowers. 

5. Once the flowers are dried, I will send 2 – 3 mockup photos for you (or recipient) to select. Keep in mind that the flowers become very delicate once they are dried, and it is best not to manipulate them too many times.   

6. The selected floral arrangement will be cast in resin, a process that can take up to 2-weeks alone. All pieces are cured for 48-hours before shipping.  Epoxy resin is non-toxic when it cures, and the resin used is UV resistant to avoid yellowing in time.  

7. Demolding, sanding and buffing is the last stage of the preservation process. At this time, I will send a photo of the finished preservation project before shipping is arranged.  

8. Return shipping will be arranged and tracking information is sent.
