The Process &
Caring for your Keepsake
Dropping off your flowers or posting them
Drop Off Your Flowers
If you are local to Coopers Plains, Brisbane you will be able to drop off your flowers with us. We will communicate the details about this as your event nears. This can happen after anytime by yourself or a family member as we have a specified "Drop off" box located at the front of my studio. We have many drop offs that happen daily, so please put your name on your flowers.
​
Shipping Your Flowers
If you are not local to us or are enjoying your honeymoon soon after your wedding, you will need to get your flowers in the mail within 24-48 hours of your event. Your flowers HAVE to be shipped using an express shipping service. Please make sure you read our detailed instructions for packaging and shipping your flowers on our website.
The Drying and Pressing Stage
Drying Your Flowers
We use professional grade silica gel to dry your flowers for 2-3 weeks, depending on the bloom and its water content. Please keep in mind that the color of some flowers changes in the drying process. For example: red flowers often dry a dark purple color (See our FAQS page for more info). After your flowers are dried, we hand dust the flowers to remove the silica gel.
Laying Out Your Flowers
At this time, we set up a temporary layout of your flowers. We layout the flowers in a way that we believe is beautiful but we know that our style is not the same as everyone's! We only offer layouts for blocks, not small pieces like ring holders.
​
Layout Approval
We will send you a photo of your layout for your approval. Although these can be changed, please remember that dry flowers are very fragile and we can't move them too many times, but we are happy to work with you to set your blooms in the most creative way if not a replica of your bouquet.
The pouring process
​
Pouring the resin in stages
​
We use high quality resin to encase your flowers. The process of pouring this resin takes multiple layers over a course of many days/weeks.
​
Demolding And Finishing Touches
After your piece has fully cured, we remove it from the mold. Sanding and a top coat procedure is determined by the designer. Sometimes all it needs is a good polish. We then address any needed finishing touches on the piece and prepare it to be shipped to you. A top coat layer creates a glossy finish, however keep in mind the curing process of a top coat is at least 2-3 weeks after depending.
Shipping Your Finished Pieces To You
We will get your piece(s) in the mail as soon as they are done curing. We use Sendle as it works for us.
