Flower Preservation, Pressed flower frame. Wedding Bridal DRIED Flowers, Wedding, Funeral Pressed Flowers, Keepsake

Flower preservation/ pressed flower frame.
A gentle flower arrangement based on your wedding bouquet is probably one of the most romantic gift ideas for your marriage anniversary to refresh memories about your happiest moments.

Many brides chose to do a collection of 3-5 pieces.
I will work with you to make sure you have a variety of pressed flowers from your actual bouquet that will be a one of a kind art that you will cherish.

**HAVE FRESH FLOWERS FROM A RECENT WEDDING, OR ALREADY DRIED FLOWERS YOU WOULD LIKE PRESERVED? YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT!**

16x 20 gold/brass frame is on the listing pictures, for reference only.

Creating a forever keepsake from your fresh flowers is a wonderful way to remember a special event. Weddings and anniversaries are just some of the memorable events in our lives.

If you are unable to ship or drop off your bouquet, or if your wedding has already happened, we can replicate your bouquet to the best of our ability using what is available through local floral wholesalers. This is an additional fee that can be added and will require submission of 2-3 photos of your full bouquet.

As these are real dried species you need to know that they might fade after some time. It’s because I don’t dye them, so it comes along with a natural process of passing.
One of a kind.
FOR THE KEEPSAKE BOOKMARK, FLOWER BLOOMS, PEDALS AND FOLIAGE MUST BE ABLE TO BE PRESSED FLAT.

We will always try our best to include all elements of the bouquet. However, some elements are not suitable for framing.

Flowers can be send only fresh. If they arrive fresh allow 1-3 weeks for us to preserve them for use in this keepsake. Flowers that are previously dried or fresh should be wrapped loosely in a dry paper towel, placed inside of an unsealed plastic baggie or brown paper bag.
Do not seal the bag as this can cause mold and faster deterioration. Also you may immerse them in silica gel crystals, available at craft shops for $5-$10/lb, and seal them in an airtight container for a day or two until they’re dried out.
Flowers are mailed either by overnight or 2 day at most. Fresher flowers have better results. Certain flowers are not able to be pressed since they will not fit into the thin glass frames. I will let you know which ones will not work well. Please message me.
I may apply a rhinestones chain around frame sides if your flowers too thick for a glass frame.
You may also specify personalisation if flowers are provided e.g for the arrangement of flowers. If you leave this blank then I shall assume that you’re happy for me to make this decision myself.

*** ALREADY DRIED FLOWERS ***
If you have flowers that you have already dried yourself, I can likely still preserve them. Contact me for information before ordering.

Message me to get the mailing information needed for sending your flowers.
When you place your order, you are agreeing to the understanding that some flowers change color as they dry, they may darken or change tone and some flowers just do not dry well. If you’d like to talk any specific flowers before you order then please send me a message. Some flowers may also change color slightly within the frame over time.
Please allow 0-1 cm error due to manual measurement. pls make sure you do not mind before you buy.
Due to the difference between different monitors, the picture may not reflect the actual color of the item.
All of my pieces are handmade, by me and so they will not look like they have been manufactured by machine. There will be small bubbles – and these can cause occasionally teeny pits on the side surfaces. Every piece I make is one of a kind and so I consider small imperfections to be part of the charm of a handmade memory piece.

Once you place your order, I will provide you with the address to send your flowers to.

A lovely memory keepsake to have displayed in your home or given to a loved one as a keepsake gift.
(If you would like colored glitter, silver or gold leaf flakes or a colored background, message me and I will make a custom order for you at no extra charge)

Fresh Flower Care, until they can be shipped.
1. DO NOT place your fresh flowers in a freezer and DO NOT let your flowers freeze.
2. If flowers or bouquets have stems, cut ¼ inch off the bottom of the stems and place in a vase of water.
3. If the flower stems are inserted into a green floral foam, moisten the foam with water.
4. Keep them out of direct sun and heat.

Flowers are composed of organic matter and there is no guarantee of color retention. Florals will naturally change color while drying as well as over time in the frame. For example, white flowers tend to yellow/brown and red flowers tend to darken as they dry. We like to remind our customers – “A raisin will never look like a grape!”. Rest assured that we use multiple drying methods, specific to the flower type, to optimize preservation and color retention.
• We are not responsible for lost or damaged flowers delivered in the mail. Some flowers may not make it during shipping. We will work with the best pieces we receive from your bouquet.
• Any extra florals will not be returned unless requested for an extra fee.
We also suggest letting us add greens or accent flowers, we will help you with this. These are hand-crafted, not made by machines, there may be small flaws and no two are the same. Each paperweight is very unique and special, created from your flowers or keepsakes to enjoy….
The color of your dried flowers determine the color of your finished product- Please remember, the chemical of the resin can make some of your petals look translucent or even darker.
BUYER AGREEMENT:
----------------------------
By purchasing, you agree that I can not be held responsible for lost, damaged or stolen packages, to or from me, or damaged/undesirable outcomes during the drying and creating process. I will keep in contact with you throughout the process and if the flowers don't arrive in good shape I will let you know and you can decide if you want to proceed with the order.

Please be aware flowers dry differently depending on the type, timing, etc. Colors may shift and blooms may shrink. I do my VERY BEST to make sure your piece is as lovely as possible, but there are some variables through the process that are out of my control.

Handmade resin creations are a labor intensive process to get the flower into position. Due to the nature of the resin making process tiny air bubbles usually occur.
Each item in my shop is made by hand and not a machine so tiny bubbles, bumps little gaps and slight imperfections are part of the unique characteristics of the resin creations!
The back or bottom side will be slightly bumpy,uneven due to a natural heating process in a resin and drying.
The front and back sides are more glossy,clear than sides around ( some kind of frosty effect).

Cancellation and Returns on this listing will incur a 30% restocking fees in the first 8 hours after your purchase this listing.No returns and cancellations after that.
Eventually the white roses in your bouquet, corsage or floral arrangement will begin to turn brown, a natural occurrence as the blossom starts to fade. While this happens to all roses, the browning is more evident in white roses, as there is no color to conceal the evidence of the transformation. White flowers tend to yellow as they dry, roses are no exception.Another thing to remember is to dry them before they get too old. The longer the flower has been picked the more chance there is for it to turn brown.The paperweight has slight imperfections, this is because it is handmade and everything is done by hand with handmade by me molds for resin. There may be bubbles, porosities and droplets of resin.
Since the resin is a type of plastic, is possible to have a change in color and transparency over time.The color of your dried flowers determine the color of your finished keepsake. The chemical of the resin can make some of your petals look translucent or even darker.
Some flowers change color as they dry, they may darken or change tone and some flowers just do not dry well. Some light colored flowers keep their color well but some not. Flowers tend to yellow and brown as they dry, roses are no exception.
Each bouquet is unique, so the frame arrangement will be unique as well. Every frame will look different. I will arrange your bouquet in a way that artistically flatters your flowers, and by sending me your bouquet, you are saying you trust me with the artistic layout decisions.
-I can only use fresh flowers, so you must send them to me within 1 week of the wedding day. Once the flowers age, the risk of mold and browning increases, so the fresher they are, the better the result typically.
-The amount of flowers I can include in the frame depends on the size/number of the frames you choose as well as the quality of flowers. I only frame the best results of the flowers once they are pressed to preserve the quality of the overall aesthetic of the finished product.
- I cannot preserve succulents. They hold too much water to dry out without molding.
-Certain flowers are too thick to frame (example: sunflowers). Just send a message and ask if you are concerned!
-The colors of flowers change as they dry. White flowers turn creamy, brown, or yellow, purples darken and may brown, pink flowers lighten and may turn yellow, reds turn darker/maroon, oranges hold their colors well, blues may darken some but keep their color, yellows hold their color really well but may darken slightly, and greenery may darken.

There are many determining factors, like the freshness of the flowers when I receive them, and the conditions where the art is displayed. Pesticides and chemicals sprayed on the fresh flowers can also effect them. I have made every effort to ensure that your floral heirloom will last a lifetime; however, because these are real flowers, changes of color or fading are normal and should be expected. Bits of pollen and plants can also fall in the frame over time. To slow this process, avoid displaying your art in direct sunlight or in excessively humid conditions.
Another thing to remember is the longer the flower has been picked the more chance there is for it to turn brown.
And sometimes there is a chemical reaction in resin that affects the color of the flowers.
You never know until the product is done.
It is no a toy for kids.

Cancellation and Returns on the custom orders listings will incur a 30% restocking fee.
For all cancellation requests on orders that have not been shipped yet, there is an additional $25.00 restocking fee( plus 30%) to cover paypal and etsy listing and cancellation fee's, as well as any inconvenience.
DISCLOSURE:

By purchasing my products you are agreeing to and acknowledging the following:

- These are handmade products and therefore will not look as though they have been manufactured by a machine.

- Flowers naturally create air bubbles, and resin also naturally has micro bubbles. These bubbles can be within the resin piece or sometimes feature on the surface of the resin, creating small holes. I work very hard to minimize these but this is not always possible.

- During the drying process, flowers can change color and/or shape. Bruising on flowers can also appear on resin which can occur during postage. Some flowers dry a lot better than others. If your flowers consist of only 1 type of flower and you’re concerned about their suitability then please drop me a message to discuss.
Flowers will go through an extensive drying process that will cause them to change/lose some color. They are no longer fresh when dried, this is normal. Fresh red roses will darken up to a dark burgundy, pink roses will turn to a slight purple/grey, etc. White Calla Lilies will turn yellow.

We are not responsible for any damage during shipping. Please purchase shipping insurance to guarantee refunds on potentially damaged items.
• Due to this being a custom-made piece, we do not accept product returns.
Returns & exchanges
