My flowers are in poor condition. What can you do? If you are unsure if your flowers are suitable to be preserved then please contact us and we can advise you more. If you still wish to have a keepsake created then we will assess your flowers when they arrive with us. We will inform you if any are unsuitable to use in your keepsakes. Scaling down your order maybe an option, with your express permission we can source replacement flowers for you.
How do I get my flowers to you? It's best to either hand deliver your flowers to us if you are local to Nuneaton or send them via Royal Mail Next Day Delivery. We will send you instructions on how to package your flowers.
Will my flowers look the same once preserved? Moisture is removed from all flowers and greenery prior to putting in resin. This will change the colour and texture of the flowers. Results will vary for each flower depended on multiple factors, like but not limited to; damage, time since the event, variety & pigment. Until flowers are cast into resin there is no way to know for certain what the out come will be. We do our best to advise you if we forsee any issues with your flowers but sometimes these are a surprise to us as well as you. Light pink can change to a soft shade of lilac. Dark Pink & blue can change to a shade of purple. Red flowers change into a deep shade of burgundy - they’re very dark once placed in resin so best to be balanced out with other colours if possible. White flowers are delicate and often change to an off-white/cream colour, brown or sometimes even a light shade of pastel yellow. Light color flowers sometimes turn translucent in spots once placed in resin. Some flowers dry a lot better than others, if your arrangement is all one type of flower or you have concerns over their suitability feel free to message me to discuss them. There is a possibility that the flowers may become dull over time if left in constant direct sunlight.
How long does the process take? Flowers take 2-4 weeks to dry. Then once you place your final order it will take between 4-12 months to complete your order. We are unable to give you a more accurate timeframe. Due to being a small buisness we cannot predict what factors will affect our timescales. We like to give longer timeframes to account for any unforseen circumstances that may mean orders take longer to create than we'd hope.

Can I order a gift card? Yes, we offer gift vouchers.
Can I add non floral items in my display ? Absolutely! You can add non floral items to your keepsake as long as hold no moisture or can be dried.
Can all flowers be preserved? Not all flowers preserve or dry well. Lillies, Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses and Iris' hold alot of water and may not always dry well and will take longer to dry than others. Succulents can not be dried or pressed, if you wish to have these included in your preservation then please be aware these will have to be swapped for artifical ones.
Will the resin turn yellow? I use the highest quality UV stabilised resin. This inhibits yellowing over time, however if your pieces are kept in direct sunlight then this will turn the resin yellow over time. We send a you care instructions with your order telling you how to look after your keepsakes forever. Resin may yellow quickly if our care instructions are not followed. Resin will likely yellow naturally after a few decades if cared for properly.
Can my Flowers Be Pressed? We can press most flowers. Some will press better than others. Colour loss may happen when pressing flowers, we offer a complimentary colour correction service. This allows us to add the colour back to your flower prior to mounting them in your frame. If you do not want our colour correction services then please do contact us to let us know.
