The images shown are all the ways you can preserve your flowers. Free consultations on your specific needs will help you make the right choice for your style. Get in touch on the form above before making your final selection.
1.How long is the entire process?
From the moment I get your flowers, to the time you get it back, could take up to 3 months. The flowers need to be completely dry before I place them in molds. The resin work is a game of layers that require a lot of work and patiences.
2. When do you need the flowers?
I need them as soon as you are done with your event so I can dry them before they wilt and start browning. Ideally within 48 hours.
3. What if I have dried my own flowers?
If you are happy with the way they came out then I can preserve them. I can also airbrush some color into them if its possible for an extra fee.
4. How is the payment structured?
I take 30% upon booking and the remaining 70% when you have dropped the flowers to me.
5. Do you serve all over North America?
I currently serve the Canadian market. If you are willing to dry your flowers with my instructions, I can preserve them for you. Due to border delays, I don't want you to mail fresh flowers to me in case of rotting and mold occurring.
