FAQ

What is floral preservation?

We practice the art of pressing and drying flowers over a length of time. While the flowers are no longer alive, this technique allows for the creation of beautiful art that can be enjoyed for years to come.
What types of flowers preserve best?

Most fresh blooms preserve beautifully. While some delicate or moisture-heavy flowers may change in appearance slightly, we take great care with each bouquet to preserve its natural beauty and ensure the best result. If you’re unsure about your flowers, feel free to reach out for guidance!
Will my flowers change color over time?

Yes! Floral art is ever evolving and may discolor over time. Tips to slow this process include: Keep the frame out of direct sunlight. Avoid excess heat and humidity. Do not display in bathroom or sunroom. Also to take into account, colors will/may change during the preservation process. Light colored flowers may not hold their color while vibrant colors may darken. There could also be alterations in the color where they are different from the original received arrangement. Our preservation process does NOT ensure that the color will be the same as the original flowers.
Can you preserve bouquets that are already dried?

We specialize in pressing fresh florals. Unfortunately, we’re unable to work with bouquets that are already dried, as they tend to be brittle and do not press well.
What if my flowers are starting to wilt—can I still bring them in?

A little wilting is okay! If you're within the five-day window after your event, bring them in as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to preserve the most beautiful blooms. If you're unsure, send us a photo!
Can you combine flowers from multiple arrangements into one piece?

Yes! We love creating pieces that tell a layered story. Whether it's flowers from a wedding and a memorial, or multiple family members’ bouquets, we can thoughtfully combine them into one frame.
Will I receive updates during the preservation process?

Yes! You’ll receive a confirmation when we receive your bouquet, and we’ll send an update once your piece is in progress. You’re always welcome to reach out if you’re feeling curious in between.
What if I missed the five-day window—can I still do anything?

Unfortunately, we can’t press flowers more than five days post-event. However, we offer Bouquet Recreation, where we recreate your bouquet using fresh blooms in your original style and colors. It’s a beautiful way to honor a missed opportunity!
How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking a month prior to your event! However, we can take last minute orders as long as the flowers are still fresh and we receive them within 5 days of the event.
How long does the preservation process take?

The process can take up to 6 months. Each flower of a bouquet is handled carefully and pressed skillfully. Once flowers are pressed and dry, they are arranged into beautiful works of art that you will have to enjoy!
How soon do I need to drop off my flowers?

We can only accept flowers within five days of your event to ensure the best quality preservation. Flowers must be fresh—we cannot accept dried or silk bouquets. If you're unable to drop off your bouquet during business hours, we offer two alternatives: a secure porch drop box and overnight shipping.
Where do I drop off my bouquet?

We have a store front located in central Dripping Springs, TX! The address can be found on our website and in your booking information. We also accept shipped flowers, we do require overnight shipping to ensure flowers remain fresh.
Do you only serve the Austin area?

Nope! We accept bouquets and flowers nation wide. If you do opt to ship, please know we do require overnight shipping.
Can someone else drop off or pick up my bouquet for me?

Absolutely. Just let us know ahead of time who to expect, and we’ll take it from there. This is especially helpful if you’re heading out on a honeymoon right after your event!
Do you offer shipping for finished pieces?

Yes! We offer nationwide shipping for all completed frames and resin pieces. Your artwork will be carefully packaged to ensure it arrives safely.
What’s included with each frame purchase?

Each frame includes your carefully pressed florals, arranged by hand ready to display! Optional sentimental additions like photos or vows are included at no extra cost.
Which frame size should I choose?

It all depends! Consider where you want to display your frame in your home and also take into consideration the size of your bouquet. If you have a larger bouquet and want your frame to reflect the entirety, then one of our larger sizes would be best. But if you want to preserve 1-2 flowers or a corsage or boutonnière, then a smaller frame would work perfectly! See our recommendations below for sizes with the number of flowers it would display. 5"x7": 1 single flower or boutonnière. 8"x10": 3 flowers and background greenery/filler flowers. 11"x14": 3-4 flowers and background greenery/filler flowers. 12"x16": 4-6 flowers and background greenery/filler flowers. 16"x20": 5+ flowers and background greenery/filler flowers.

How do I hang my finished piece?

For our smaller frame, hardware is included on the frame and can be hung portrait or landscape. Our larger frames do not come with hardware. This is intentional due to the weight of the glass and frame piece. For hanging, place a nail in both corners of the top of the frame to hang on a wall. We urge to not place your own hardware due to potential wood splitting of the frame.
Can I order a second piece as a gift?

Absolutely. Many of our clients order smaller frames as gifts for parents, friends, or even officiants. Just let us know when ordering, and we’ll create something meaningful!
What’s the best way to care for my finished piece?

Keep your artwork out of direct sunlight and away from moisture to preserve color and longevity. Frames can be cleaned with Windex and a paper towel to gently remove dust or fingerprints. Only use light pressure to prevent internal damage to the flowers.
Do you offer consultations for custom ideas?

We do! Our Custom Orders option is perfect for unique projects outside our standard offerings. If you have a vision, let’s bring it to life—just reach out to schedule a chat.
Can I order a recreation if I didn’t preserve my original bouquet?

Yes! Our Bouquet Recreation service is perfect for those who missed their window or want to celebrate an anniversary or memorial. We recreate your bouquet using fresh flowers based on your photos and descriptions.
How does payment work?

Payment is required in full before we receive your flowers. Once you select your preferred frame size and color and check out, you’ll automatically receive an email with detailed instructions for dropping off or shipping your bouquet. If your event is in the future, we’ll send a reminder email one week beforehand.
Do you offer gift cards?

Yes! A floral preservation gift card makes a thoughtful and unique gift. You can purchase one directly from our website or get in touch if you'd like a custom amount.
Am I able to add this to my wedding registry?

Definitely! We love being part of your big day in any way we can. Since registry platforms vary, we recommend checking how they handle custom or small-business gifts. Some couples add our service as a cash fund or include a direct link to our website. If you need any help setting it up, we’re just a message away!
