  • DO I HAVE TO BOOK IN ADVANCE?
    It is strongly advised to book your preservation in advance so that we can add your flowers into our preservation run for that week. We can only take a limited number of bookings per week and during the peak wedding season we can end up turning away disappointed brides who didn't book in time. In order to secure your spot, we require a down payment of 50% to be completed to lock in your preservation and our current pricing.
  • MY EVENT HAS PASSED- Can I still book my flowers in?
    Absolutely! We can happily still accommodate your booking. Please make your booking online ASAP or contact us via call or text on 0421162783
  • HOW DO I BOOK MY FLOWERS IN?
    If you know what style and size keepsake you would like - You can find it under our shop menu and add that keepsake/s to your cart. Alternatively- if you are unsure on what style and size keepsake you would like right now until you have seen your blooms on your big day or you would like our guidance and recommendation, we suggest making your booking under our convenient "Pay a Deposit Only" option. This allows you to still secure your blooms' place in our preservation chambers and choose the style and size you would like later or upon the arrival of your blooms at our studio. Once you have chosen and placed your custom order through our online booking system, you will receive a Booking Confirmation Number and instructions on how to easily overnight pack and send your blooms to us, or alternatively, arrange a time to drop your flowers off at our studio.
  • WILL MY FLOWERS CHANGE DURING THE PRESERVATION PROCESS?
    Simply put, yes, all preservation methods will change the colour and texture of your blooms slightly. Although our refined preservation techniques, such as freeze drying; our high quality materials and years of experience ensures that your flowers uphold the unique qualities and attributes that you love. Floral preservation isn't meant to completley set your bouquet in time; rather, it's about bestowing upon it a stunning new lease on life, a beautiful rejuvenation that allows you to treasure your precious blooms for years ahead. All flowers are different in the way they preserve, Some common external factors that can affect the preservation of your blooms include the quality of the flowers when your florist receives them, the farms they were sourced from, the weather on your wedding day and how closely you follow our care tips and packing instructions. It is also important to note that if your florist plans to reflex your roses (to create that larger, fuller look) this will cause unrepairable damage to the petals which may show during preservation. If you have reflexed roses in your bouquet, ask your florist to leave a few of your roses in their natural form, hidden underneath your bouquet or in your table center pieces etc.

  • CAN YOU SEND HOME MY UNUSED FLOWERS?
    We choose the best flowers from your bouquet to encapsulate and leave out those that don’t preserve as well as the others. Unfortunately, we do not send any unused flowers home as they do not last outside a 100% sealed and protected environment. If you want to keep some of your flowers, we suggest not sending your whole bouquet. Many factors that are out of our control contribute to preserved flowers deteriorating very fast if not professionally sealed and protected such as atmospheric moisture reabsorption, UV light exposure; causing colour fading and also because they are so extremely fragile that one bump or drop will cause them to crumble.
  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
    Our prices range from $99 to $2000 and depending on your budget we have an option for everyone. We suggest allocating between $600-$1000 for a standard size keepsake.

Our method of preservation is a highly advanced method called "Dry Freezing" which ensure the best quality of preservation Australia Wide. See "Our Difference" to learn more.

Very importantly don’t forget to send your foliage, as this brings your keepsake to life! Please remember though, we cannot use all of your flowers, so we will choose the best flowers and foliage for your chosen design, any leftover flowers will be recycled. Unfortunately, we cannot return any leftover blooms. The final selection of flowers used will be at our designer’s discretion. Always choose your smaller blooms to send for preservation as the smaller they are the more we can fit into your final piece.
  • HOW LONG WILL MY KEEPSAKE LAST AND DOES IT REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL CARE?
    Your flowers once encapsulated within your keepsake will last forever, as they are now 100% sealed and no humidity, bugs or moisture can ever come back into it. We use the highest quality materials and techniques available to carefully handcraft each and every keepsake, however, like all artwork, your keepsake may slightly amber over time due to many environmental elements. To help prevent this we recommend keeping them out of any direct sunlight, such as bright windows or display units. When considering a place to display your keepsake, a cool and dry place away from UV rays is necessary.
