Frequently Asked Questions
HOW AND WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY APPOINTMENT?
The earlier the better when it comes to booking space for your special day. This ensures you have an appointment and are not risking us being completely booked ……..on the other hand We do save spots for last minute bookings , but be careful there aren’t that many.
DO YOU ONLY TAKE WEDDING FLOWERS?
No, All moments are welcome from the just because to the loss of a loved one.
HOW LONG IS THE PROCESS?
CREATIVITY TAKES TIME
Turn around time can vary depending on the season anywhere from 6months depending on project/s involved multiple piece orders take extra time each piece finishes at different times. There are times when time takes longer than expected. As some projects may be new. PLEASE SHOW GRACE AND PATIENCE we are doing our best.
HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?
$150 minimum retainer fee. If you order something under 100 that item is al carte, must be prepaid as well as a $25-50 preservation fee added on
WHAT ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS?
Each and every item is handcrafted, imperfections are part of the process, this does not mean any less time or care is taken into consideration. Bubbles happen, although we take care in popping as many as possible they can still arrive during the curing process. they will not be removed unless they hinder the piece .They have been dubbed “blowing kisses” Each piece is unique in its own way.
Flowers can have bruises and sometimes are not seen until the process is over. Please take into consideration this was once a live plant that is going into a chemical that over the curing process gets up to 490 degrees.
WHAT TYPE OF ART WORK SHOULD I GET?
If you are undecided , I urge you to please check out the GALLERY for some ideas. Please also consider Resin is a block and can become heavy. The average weight 8-10 lbs on larger works.
HOW LONG WILL THE ARTWORK LAST?
More than likely the artwork will outlast us. However over time discoloration can/will happen. Flowers can/colors will continue to deepen over time. Resin can turn a yellowish color as well, however there are many factors taken into consideration as with resin it is an absolute science and skill, I will assure you I take every precaution in delaying this process.
What is your Return/Exchange Policy?
Unfortunately there are no returns refunds on any services rendered. However if you are unhappy with your service I will do my best to rectify the situation.
Commerce Shop orders have a no refund/ return order but will do exchanges if needed.
DO YOU TAKE OUT OF STATE ORDERS? HOW DO I SHIP?
Absolutely!!! Shipping flowers is quite simple , we will walk through this process together. when booking your flowers please make sure to write in notes that shipping is involved. Shipping costs can vary depending on zip code 25-100. You may send your zip code via email to get a estimated cost.
CAN ALL FLOWERS BE PRESSED?
The short answer to this is NO. However I will take small pieces of each flower and add to the frame . The best flowers to press are flat open flowers, the thicker, exotic flower does not press will as it retains moisture and can mold in this case please opt for a shadowbox.
DO YOU PRESS ALL MY FLOWERS?
No I do not press all the flowers - why? One bouquet goes a long way, I only preserve what is needed for the piece! preserving flowers is a multi step process and take hours each step. If you want extra flowers you can do two things- take out what you would like to work with before dropping them off. Or I can preserve the extras for you at an extra COST.
CAN I JUST GET MY FLOWERS PRESERVED AND HANDED BACK TO ME?
No I do not preserve flowers alone, there are many steps from preservation to art that happen.
IS IT TO LATE FOR MY FLOWERS?
It is never too late, I love working with previously air dried flowers.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO PRESERVE THE FLOWERS?
The flower art process is a very long, arduous and tedious job with several layers as each flower goes through ,several different techniques to ensure the best long last artwork possible. Feel free to read the process section to get a better understanding
