Your blooms are professionally dried or pressed. Our owner has years of experience mastering the science behind how to properly process your bouquet without error, using special tools and techniques that best maintain your flower's shape and color. This step can take several weeks or months, depending on the types of elements in your bouquet. Please anticipate lead times of around 4 - 6 months (depending on seasonality) before we reach out with the next steps. If we recieved your flowers during a busy of time of year or during the holidays, it may take longer.
Once your flowers are fully prepped, we will begin designs based on your design survey. You will get to work with your artist 1:1. We will make sure to include any favorite flowers, colors, or sentimental elements. Due to limited space on the design table, we kindly request a speedy response for approval. If we see your flowers begin to lose vibrancy, or shape, we may begin the process at the artist's discretion.
We take pride in our designs, some studios will charge extra to move things around. We don't, as we are confident you will love our artist's composition and design. Each and every project is thoughtfully placed with love and attention to detail.
Please be patient, sometimes art and finding that right balance of your flowers takes time, we don't rush creativity and we hope you can see that in our work.
The preservation process requires patience, experience, and most importantly, knowledge of the science between botanicals and resin. This can take anywhere from 8-16+ hours spread across several weeks depending on the size of your block and order. Please note, these beautiful artworks are created in small layers, which is why it takes a while to complete. We are unable to meet requested deadlines or expedite orders as we are only able to work as quickly as the resin allows us to. We are happy to provide estimated dates of completion, however we cannot promise a date simply because our mediums can be unpredictable. Even the weather sometimes affects things. It really is a science!
We value quality over timeliness. Each and every project has potential setbacks. If touch-ups are necessary, it may require sanding, polishing, more layers, and sometimes several attempts. We call this the royal treatment, as it can be very labor intensive. We will keep you in the loop if this step is necessary, and thank you in advance for understanding this is a process while working on many projects at any given time.
Completed artworks are hand packaged, sealed, and delivered by UPS. We will print your shipping label sooner than delivery as we get our batches of beloved artworks prepared for one big UPS pick-up every two weeks. Once your package is shipped, tracking information will be available.
Our signature flower fairy will arrive on your doorstep!
Final Note: It's a true labor of love, this floral magic thing. We thank you for your patience during the prolonged wait times following the wedding boom, availability of supplies, and high demand for our new service. We appreciate keeping update requests to a minimum so we can focus on the physical aspect of the work.
Standard turnaround for our little flower preservation industry is currently an average 8-10 months, up to 10-12 months for larger orders. It's a process, but you know what they say... go where the lines are long! All good things take time. We promise it's worth the wait and are very excited to re-unite you with your flowers.
