Frequently Asked Questions

What is floral preservation?

Floral preservation is the process of removing moisture from live flowers, while maintaining both color and shape.

 

How long will my flowers last?

Preserved flowers can last for many years, however, several factors determine the lifespan of a preserved flower: sunlight, humidity, dust, and damp environments. During the preservation process, the color of the flowers can appear deeper in color and antique. Over a period of time, all preserved flowers do slowly fade.  I can apply acrylic paint to some of your blooms, to enhance their color.

 

How much will it cost to preserve my flowers?

The cost ranges from $300- $450. Your display selection will determine your actual cost. There is a minimum $100 deposit required. Deposits are due before the preservation process begins and will go towards your package.

 

How soon after my event will I have to drop off my flowers?

I ask that drop-off is within 3 days. The sooner I can begin the preservation process, the better your flowers will preserve. Any flaws in your petals will  magnify during the preservation process.

 

How long will the preservation process take?

The process will take anywhere from 4-5 months. After your flowers are preserved, I place them into your selected display. I ask that flowers are picked-up within 2 weeks after completion.

 

Can mementos be included in my display?

Yes. I can add mementos to your display. Many people include items such as: an invitation, photo, jewelry, or a hairpiece.

 

Do you ship?

Yes! I can ship pressed flowers only.

 

Do you offer bouquet pick-up?

Yes! If you are marrying in the Birmingham area, I do offer bouquet pick-up service from your venue. There is a fee of $25 for this service, due when your deposit is paid.
