What is the best method to keeping the flowers fresh prior to shipping?

Plan on shipping your flowers within 24 hours of your event (or peak freshness) and keeping them in water to preserve the petals prior to packaging.

Contact your preferred shipping service for prices and tracking information, including expected delivery time, to plan accordingly for a timely delivery.

Do I get to see my flowers prior to gluing?

YES! Although this step is not required, we want you to be happy with your art piece and encourage your final approval before we glue, matte, and frame. We cannot guarantee that the photo we send for approval will be 100% exact to the final product, as the gluing process is fluid and may require last-minute changes to the composition. Some customers prefer to be surprised by the artist’s choices!

Do my flowers get pressed in the vintage book press?

YES, we are able to press up to 10 projects simultaneously in the press. We believe using a vintage book press leads to a higher quality press due to the even compression and natural materials on the moisture management, therefore this method is preferred when preserving flowers.
