Q:What is the process and how does it work?

A: The first step is to place an order online. You will select your keepsake, frame size, layout, and frame finish at checkout. Once you placed the order, you will then need to schedule your delivery appointment or ship date for your flowers. 

If shipping: When your flowers arrive, you will receive a confirmation email and estimated completion date. 

~your flowers will go through our preservation process~

When your artwork is completed, you will get an email confirmation with tracking. I will ship to the address you provided at checkout. 

Q: Can I pick any keepsake style, or will it depend on the flowers in my bouquet?

A: Yes! You can pick any keepsake style. We ask that you notify us if you will have any of the following in your bouquet: Tropical Flowers, Orchids, Calla Lilys, Sunflowers, All White with no Greenery as some of these may not be able to be included in your final designs. 

​

Q: Are there flowers that don't preserve well or that you suggest we don't include if we want to preserve our bouquet?

A: While we can preserve almost anything, we do have a list of flowers that we do not like to press because they can preserve and not be aesthetically pleasing:

Calla Lilys, Chrysanthemum (Mums), Large Daisys, Tropical Flowers, Berries

​

Q: How do I get my bouquet to you?

A: The best and preferred method is hand-delivering your bouquet! We also receive flowers via shipment of florals. Once an order is placed, you will receive a detailed email with instructions on how to hand-deliver or ship your florals. If you are a local NJ resident and would prefer to drop off your bouquet, please select "Dropping Off" as your option at checkout.  

​

Q: Is there anything I should know about how to take care of my keepsakes after I receive them?

A: Absolutely! Both Pressed and Resin keepsakes have similar care instructions. You want to avoid keeping your keepsakes in direct sunlight, hot temperature rooms, and humidity. This will cause your pressed flowers to fade quickly, and cause your resin to amber quickly. Your pressed flowers will fade over time. Some flowers like white roses, pink roses and purple roses will loose their color faster than others. Your resin will amber over time, the yellow can be anywhere from a minimal beige tone to a pure amber color. This cannot be truly avoided however; storage of your keepsakes can slow these processes down. 

What is ambering? Ambering is the yellowing of resin. This is caused by UV rays and direct sunlight, and/or hot temperature rooms. You want to store your keepsakes in a cool-temperature room. 

​

Q: What can I expect my bouquet to look like after it's preserved?

A: Our #1 goal is to create a keepsake with your florals that remind you of the flowers you held in your hand on your special day and save your flowers from crumbling away. We would like you to consider your artwork as a new life for your flowers. We can't stress enough that your florals are extremely unique. Some may look different than you remember, some may even shrink a bit in size! It is important to remember that pressing flowers is a natural process and the reason we press is so that your flowers do not mold, and crumble to dust!

Colors WILL change, Pressed flowers WILL fade over time. 

​

I love when I'm working on your flowers and it hits me "this was carried throughout the wedding day" Happy tears cried, sweet kisses shared, and lots of love surrounded these flowers.

They've seen it all. 

Every flower responds differently to the preservation process and even two of the same flowers can be slightly different in tone, shape and size. Some flowers preserve similar to their fresh form, but some can change tone: 

- White florals can preserve with a yellow/brown/ivory hue.

White florals are truly unpredictable and many elements factor in the way these florals press and preserve. It must also be known that white flowers will continue to change as the years go on. This is part of the natural press and preservation process. 

We are currently experimenting with Color Correction and aim to add this to our website offerings in the future. 

- Red florals can deepen and darken with a dark red or purple hue

- Light Pink florals can lighten or darken with a mauve/grey/purple hue

- Dark Pink florals can darken with a purple/mauve hue

- Purple Florals can deepen and darken with a dark purple/black hue

​

We ask that you view our work to see some of these finished tones!

If you are deeply concerned with the tone outcome, please ask for samples that we have created to compare to.

​

Q: Can I add the boutonnière to my bouquet order?

A: Absolutely! In your shipment to me, you can add your invitation and/or boutonniere! Unless specifically requested otherwise, the boutonniere will be arranged, mixed in with the bouquet design. 

​

Q: What is the turn-around time?

A: The average turn-around time from arrival of the florals:

Pressed Keepsakes take a minimum of 4 months for completion

Resin keepsakes take a minimum of 5 months for completion.

Bundles/Collectionns and large orders will take a minimum of 5-6 months for completion

We promise your florals are in great hands! These turnaround times can change. We do not rush through any of our steps in the process and finishing touches can delay products 2-3 weeks. Please do not harass our customer service email with multiple status update emails, we will reach out to you when your order is complete or if we have any design questions. 

​

Minimum turnaround times mean your items should not be expected to be ready before this timeframe, they will be ready after. We do not give hard completion timeframes or dates due to many factors in our finishing process. Our process is outlined under our YWB Process page (visible only on desktop).

Every preservation goes through many phases, and it is extremely important for us to take our time with each step. As Artists, we prioritize the timing of our creative energy so we can create beautiful timeless designs for each client. 

​

Q: How far in advance can I place an order? How late can I place an order? 

A: We ask that orders are placed 2-3 months in advance to secure booking but we know firsthand how crazy wedding planning can be leading up to the big day! Don't hesitate to order or reach out if you are within the suggested order timeframe. We would love to see if we can accommodate you!

​

Q: Can I send extra flowers to have a keepsake created for my mom, mother-in-Law, Maid of Honor or Bridesmaids? 

A: Absolutely! We have brides choose additional keepsakes (The 8x10 Frame or Ornament Add-Ons are perfect gifts for loved ones!) We ask that you ship as many florals as possible (centerpieces or extra bridesmaid's arrangements) so that we can create full add on keepsakes! Bundles have a requirement of florals.

​

Q: I will be moving after my wedding, can I change my shipping address at a later date?

A: I would ask that you checkout with an address that will not change (family member, parent etc.) If that doesn't work, then of course we can update to your new address. Please send us an email with any order updates.
