Hello All!
Thank you for choosing me to preserve your precious flowers!

***I CAN NOT ACCEPT bouquets that are ONLY WHITE flowers (without any greenery). For the displays, there needs to be contrast and having ONLY blooms will cause the design to visually have no definition.
I will also NOT be able to do any further "float frames" or "glass on glass". They are much too fragile and the risk of breaking at some point in the displays life is great.
Thank you for understanding and I apologize for any inconvenience.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
***** Please note that I do NOT color enhance flowers and, as organic material, they will antique over time. This is natural. Do not expose to direct sunlight, moisture or extreme temperatures.
This pertains to framed pieces only. The resin will protect the flowers from UV light and air which will preserve their color for years and years.

Once I receive your form I will email you to let you know if your date is still available.
Accompanying your initial email will be your PayPal invoice detailing your order for your review.
The invoice allows you to make the 50% deposit to secure your date in my books.
*You can add additional pieces to your order up until the day of drop-off so I can know the appropriate amount of flowers to press for each type of display.
Once I receive your flowers, typically on SUNDAY, MONDAY or TUESDAY following the event, I will take great care to press and preserve your flowers in my professional flower presses. This process can take up to 4 hours as I make sure everything is perfect.
The flowers must be left to dry in the press for a MINIMUM of 1 MONTH.
Once your flowers are ready I will contact you to give you any appropriate options (like jewelry, frame choices, etc.) based on your individual flowers. Yay!
>>>>Flowers must be received by me NO LATER THAN 4 DAYS AFTER YOUR EVENT to ensure freshness and usability AND must be kept in water and preferably refrigerated prior to me receiving them. I can only preserve what is intact ;)
Pressing flowers is a delicate and detailed process and must not be rushed. I will treat your flowers and design as if they were my own! Thank you for your patience. It will be worth the wait!
** YOUR DATE IS NOT SECURE UNTIL A DEPOSIT IS MADE *
