What type of Preservation is for me?
Resin Casting is a beautiful and modern way to preserve your floral memories. Each flower will be pressed or dried and then suspended safely in resin. This is by far one of the most durable and beautiful preservation options on the market today!
|
Dried flowers are preserved in more of a natural state. Flowers should be fresh and still firm to dry properly. As a professional dryer, we control the rate at which specific flowers dry and the different techniques required to dry each variety. Once dry flowers are artfully arranged in a shadow box.
|
Pressed flowers are flattened and dried in our flower presses and then they are artfully placed in a frame that will lay flat on a wall.
|
Floral Jewelry consists of your dried flowers suspended in resin mounted in .925 Sterling or14k Gold settings. Capture the beauty of the day with floral Jewelry!
|
Floral Re-Hydration is for flowers that have been previously naturally dried. Many times it is a bouquet that has been saved for years in a closet or Sympathy flowers that have been in a drawer. We treat them with a solution, soften them, press and re-dry them and design them in a frame. (See video at the bottom of this page where we re-hydrated a bouquet that was 16 years old!)
Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q: How long does the preservation process take?
A: We generally require 8 to 12 weeks to fully process an order. Q: Is payment due when the order is placed? A: We require a deposit of at least 50% of the pretax total at the time the order is placed. The remaining balance, including the sales tax for the entire order, is due when the order is picked up. If we are shipping the florals, the full balance is due prior to return shipment by Hannah's. Q: How should the flowers be delivered for preservation? A: Flowers can be dropped off during business hours, or arrangements can be made for after-hour drop-offs. We can also offer suggestions for shipping your flowers to us if needed. Q: How long after an event should fresh arrangements be preserved? A: Fresh flowers should be brought in as soon as possible. The quicker we get can them in, the better we can control their drying to retain as much of their color as possible. Q: Will preserved flower colors differ from their fresh colors? A: We take every step possible to minimize fading, darkening, or browning when drying your flowers. The fresher we get them, the better chance we have of retaining their color. Q: Will the preserved flowers change color over time? A: Preserved flowers may continue to fade or brown after being preserved. The best ways to prevent this is to keep your preservations out of direct sunlight, and away from moisture to prevent molding. Q: Are there any types of flowers that would be refused for preserving? A: The short answer to this is no. We have different methods of preserving different flowers, but are limited by the condition of the flowers brought in. We will happily discuss options for flowers brought in passed their prime, and can even attempt to replace flowers for a small fee. Q: What happens to leftovers flowers after the preservation piece is complete? A: We generally don't have much leftover material after finishing a piece. We use the most beautiful of your blooms for your preservation piece which often leaves any left over material as scrap, which is discarded. |
