Question 1

How do you preserve flowers?

Accepted Answer

I use the Suspended In Time proprietary blend along with specialized ovens to professionally dry your flowers. I can preserve them either 3D (the full flower in its original shape) or pressed. This method has been time tested to ensure colors remain as true as possible and safeguards against mold.

Question 2

Do flowers change color when dried?

Accepted Answer

YES. Most flowers change 1-4 shades darker. I use various methods to color correct and get them as close to original as possible, but I cannot 100% guarantee the shade will be a perfect match in the end. I will try my darndest!
*White flowers, with the exception of hydrangea and some others, DO NOT dry bright white. They will dry ivory and sometimes a bit yellow. Getting them back to white is not possible without them looking painted or artificial.*

Question 3

Do you offer resin options?

Accepted Answer

No, I do not use resin. This is a personal preference as resin yellows over time.

Question 4

Why so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Floral preservation and encasement is a very time consuming and labor intensive process. We love what we do and take pride in our work so that you will have a piece of art you can keep forever, encapsulating your cherished memories. There are several steps and each one of them takes into account the delicate nature of flowers. All frames are custom made to order and all pieces using acrylic are UV protected. In other words; it ain’t cheap!

Question 5

How old can flowers be?

Accepted Answer

Depends! I do accept previously dried flowers and can restore them to a degree. If you have flowers from a recent event that are two weeks or more old, I often times will need to purchase some fresh flowers to replace ones that have gone bad. This is done on a case by case basis and we will discuss. In short, the fresher the flowers, the better, but I do have some magic tricks.

Question 6

Can I include a photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can include a photo, invitations, and other mementos in your encasement. Please bring or send these items to me with 1 month of dropping of your flowers. (Sometimes wedding photos take longer to receive back from your photographer. I just ask that you get these to me as soon as you can :)

Question 7

Can you do something other than what’s shown?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I actually have many other custom options not shown such as round and oval frames. The frames shown are just the most popular. If what you’re envisioning isn’t shown here, please contact me using the form below.
