Booking & Payment
Booking is simple! Contact us through our website or phone to discuss your needs. We'll require a $50 deposit to secure your spot, which will be deducted from your total order amount.
We accept bank transfers, credit cards, and cash payments.
You can hand over your flowers at our location in Berwick, VIC 3806, or send them via express post. If you are in Victoria, we can also arrange a pickup for your flowers at your cost.
Place the stems in cold water and keep the flowers in a cool, dry place—air conditioning is ideal. Do not put water on the flowers or spray them, as this can prevent proper drying and may cause the colors to change.
Please contact us, and we will provide instructions on how to safely pack and post your flowers.
Yes, you can cancel your booking up to 48 hours before your scheduled date. The deposit is refundable if cancelled within this timeframe. After 48 hours, the deposit is non-refundable.
Process & Preservation
The complete process takes 5-8 weeks total. This includes 2-4 weeks for careful drying of your flowers, followed by 3-4 weeks for the resin preservation process. We'll keep you updated throughout each stage.
Your flowers go through a careful drying process to remove moisture while maintaining their shape and color. Then they're carefully arranged and encased in premium UV-stabilized resin, which protects them from fading, moisture, and damage.
Most flowers can be preserved, but some work better than others. Roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and orchids preserve beautifully. Very delicate flowers like lilies may require special handling. We'll assess your flowers and let you know what to expect.
Yes, you can include all the flowers you want, as long as they fit the chosen design and mould size. If anything doesn’t fit, we’ll discuss the best option with you.
No, unfortunately we can’t preserve the bouquet exactly as it is. To dry flowers properly we need to separate the flowers and leaves. If you like, we can re-arrange them in a front-view style similar to your bouquet.
Flowers & Resin
We use premium UV-stabilized epoxy resin that's specifically formulated for flower preservation. This high-quality resin is crystal clear, long-lasting, and protects your flowers from fading, yellowing, and environmental damage.
Some color change is natural during the drying process, but our techniques minimize this. Most flowers maintain their original beauty, and the resin actually helps preserve the colors better than air-drying alone.
With proper care, your resin-preserved flowers can last for decades! The UV-stabilized resin protects them from fading, moisture, and damage. They're much more durable than dried flowers and will maintain their beauty for years to come.
Care & Maintenance
Keep your keepsake away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place when not displayed.
We recommend displaying your keepsake indoors to protect it from UV damage, extreme temperatures, and weather conditions. While the resin is durable, prolonged outdoor exposure can affect its appearance over time.
Minor scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and gentle pressure. For deeper scratches, contact us and we can assess if repair is needed. We provide care instructions with every keepsake to help prevent damage.
