Absolutely! Select any of our 3d designs on our Bouquet Preservations page for your air-dried flowers.
Dried flowers have a beauty all their own, even if you dried them upside down in a closet! This is a great option if you missed the window for fresh flower preservation and our books are full. We have worked with flowers 5, 10 and even 20 years old. I love bringing new life to these flowers that have been tucked away and unseen for so long.

Unfortunately, we are not able to preserve succulents. Most succulents are around 90% water. This causes a myriad of issues including molding and rotting during the pressing process.
Air Plants are more feasible. We can discuss alternative options, such as using replica succulents in your designs- this would only apply to 3D selections.

Simple answer, No. We love the natural beauty of flowers and have many years experience preserving florals of all kinds. Our drying room is designed to quickly dry flowers to help maintain color. We do not see a need to color-enhance or alter florals once they have been preserved.
That being said, we do have experience with color enhancing, if the colors are significantly changing the over all vibe. We may reach out for approval to color correct.
-
A 35% deposit for bouquet preservations is non-refundable. This helps ensure we can potentially turn other clients away and focus on your project.
Your deposit can be gifted to a loved one or used towards the purchase of any of our other designs or keepsakes. Keep in mind, your deposit will not expire! We are happy to work with you at a later date to commemorate any special event! Just let us know how we can help you.

No worries. If you still want us to preserve your fresh flowers, please reach out and send a photo to us asap.
As an alternative: Air-drying florals at home is a simple process. Tie the stems together and hang your bouquet upside down in a dry, dark place. It is important to keep florals out of direct sunlight. This process typically takes 2-4 weeks. Check on your blooms periodically and confirm they are thoroughly dried before shipping to us.
You may select any of the 3d or Dried Flowers designs to showcase your air-dried flowers. We can also work with custom designs. Feel free to reach out with any ideas.

Our artist has been working with resin for 7 years now. Flowers and resin are a beautiful pairing and she loves using natural elements in her art.
When flowers are dried, especially when they have different petal layers… air bubbles can get trapped in the design. We will use pressure pots on larger pieces to help eliminate all bubbles but sometimes small air pockets can release hours into the curing process. We will sand after and do everything we can to make your pieces as perfect as possible. Y
Our pieces are handcrafted, please do not expect to receive something like you would pick up at a retail store. This is specially designed for you and there is nothing else in the world just like it.
