Step One: Complete Questionnaire (Ready To Book)
Begin the ordering process online by filling out a simple questionnaire. Don’t worry, if you have any questions or get stuck we can assist.
You can always just call, email, or DM us as well.
Once we receive your questionnaire we will set up a time for a consultation. This way we can help ensure your order is exactly what you want it to be.
Step Two: Deposit / Invoice
To reserve your date. You will receive an invoice to pay a deposit of $150 (Non-Refundable). The deposit will be applied to your invoice totals. Once you decide what products to order. You will then receive a full invoice via email/text with your pricing breakdown and payment due date. Make a payment of $150 to permanently reserve your date (Non-refundable). The $150 goes toward your preservation payment. Two weeks prior to your event you will be invoiced for 50%. The remainder balance is due upon dropoff.
Step Three: Drop Off Your Flowers (Or Order A Pick-up Service)
We request to drop off your flowers ideally within 48 hours of your wedding, memorial or special occasion. If it is longer than this, please let us know asap.
Upon receiving your flowers we will make any necessary final updates to the order. All drop-offs must be by appointment.
Pick up service available for an additional fee.
Step Four: Flower Preparation
We delicately, by hand, get each petal ready for its journey into the freeze dryer or silica based gel. Each flower, if required, gets a treatment of natural products that help preserve its color and structure during the preservation process.
Step Five: Preservation Process
The freeze drying process takes about 2 week to remove the moisture from the flowers. Please note however, a cycle must be completed before another can start so if there is higher demand, your flowers may remain in a holding freezer until there is room in the freeze dryer.
During the 10 - 14 days, under vacuum, the water in the flowers is extracted under high pressure. Afterwards, we remove the flowers and apply a post-treatment natural product. If required/requested, we lastly brighten up the flowers with a coat of airbrushed paint.
Other flowers, depending on the end product ordered, will go through a different drying process consisting of silica gel(s) that absorbs the moisture out of the flowers.
Step Six: Floral Design, Framing or Resin
Finally, the flowers are placed into your display case or submerged into its resin solution (which hardens over time). If doing a shadowbox, we can also place others items in the art piece such as invitations or other keepsakes that will be showcased. (All of this will have been planned out during our consultation.)
Each shadowbox is custom made and fitted to your style and need. Once the flowers and items are fully dry, the piece is ready for its new home! For the resin-based pieces, we offer many different shapes, sizes, designs, and styles. Please inquire.
Step Seven: Receiving Your Completed Keepsake
Your flowers will be ready for pick up or delivery within 6 months, depending on current demand. If requiring a quicker turnaround we offer an expedited VIP service. Please inquire to info@weddingfloralpreservation.com
