FLOWER PRESERVATION

Flower preservation is a great way to preserve your special flowers into a forever keepsake. They are preserved for approx 14 days. Once fully dried they are cast in high quality epoxy resin. Unfortunately not all flowers are suitable. We cannot list all flowers that are not ideal however based on previous orders and requests the majority of standard wedding and memorial flowers are suitable. We will advise if we stumble across some in your bouquets that we know are too temperamental.

 

Every flower is unique and can react differently during the preservation process. Some colours may change for example; bright red will become a deep burgundy. If a flower has begun to wilt prior to the preservation process do not worry there is still time to save it, worst case we can always use the petals from that flower. Typically we ask for flowers to be 72hrs or less. Ideally as fresh as possible to get the best colour and shape for your keepsake. Resin is water resistant and weather proof however please note that being in constant daylight may cause the resin to discolour over time.

​

Typically the full end to end process is 30 weeks however during peak times this can increase. We will always keep you informed and communicate if there is going to be an extended lead time. If you are not within a suitable distance to drop your flowers off (SS13 postcode) you also have the option to post. In order to post tie the stems of your flowers together and wrap with damp kitchen roll. You can add an extra layer of tinfoil to the kitchen roll to lock in that moisture. We do ask that you avoid using bubble wrap in your packaging as this can absorb the moisture that we want the flowers to keep. Pack out a cardboard box with screwed up paper and place flowers inside. Place additional paper to the top layer to secure, place a piece of paper inside containing your name so we know who the flowers belong to. Lastly mark the box “FRAGILE” and “This Way Up”. That way the postal service are aware. We ask that you do not place bubble wrap as this can absorb the moisture.

Please be careful with your finished product, if dropped or knocked over they can break and shatter. Try to keep out of reach from young children or pets that may knock them over.
