WHAT IS FREEZE DRYING?
The removal of moisture over time from a flower while in a frozen state. This enables the flower to retain its shape and keep most of its original color.
HOW CAN I EXPECT MY BOUQUET TO LOOK AFTERWARDS?
Flowers WILL undergo subtle color changes, white will mellow to ivory, red will deepen to burgundy.
DO ALL FLOWERS FREEZE DRY WELL?
Most flowers will freeze dry well. Certain flowers freeze dry better than others. Orchids often need to be replaced. Call for a complete listing.
HOW LONG SHOULD I EXPECT MY FLOWERS TO LAST?
Your flowers will last indefinitely. There may be some fading over time depending on how much sunlight they are exposed to.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY FLOWERS AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN FREEZE DRIED?
We offer a complete line of three dimensional frames, shadow boxes and table top domes. Enclosing your flowers in one of the display items will protect them and increase their longevity.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FRAME AND A SHADOW BOX?
The frames have a domed acrylic front, while the shadow boxes have a flat front. Frames can only be hung, while shadow boxes can also be placed on a flat surface.
DO I NEED TO PRE-BOOK MY ORDER?
No, it is not necessary, but strongly recommended.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY BOUQUET AFTER THE WEDDING?
Designate someone to be in charge of your flowers. If the bouquet is a hand-tied nosegay, simply remove any ribbon covering the bottom of the stems, place in a vase of water and refrigerate. If the bouquet was created in a plastic bouquet holder run water over the foam center of bouquet, place in plastic bag, loosely tie and refrigerate.
HOW DO I GET MY BOUQUET TO YOU?
We can arrange for a courier service to pick your bouquet up for a nominal fee, or you can simply drop it off at our store.
HOW SOON AFTER THE WEDDING MUST I BRING IN THE BOUQUET?
The sooner the better. Freeze drying works best on fresher flowers. It will not correct any bruising or wilting of flowers, however we are able to replace flowers and "freshen up" the bouquet if required. We offer a pick up service via courier. Call for rates.
DO YOU PRESERVE OTHER FLOWERS?
We will gladly freeze dry any flowers you would like to turn into a keepsake. This includes parents’ wedding corsages, nosegays and boutonnieres, engagement party flowers, and funeral flowers. In addition to our regular line of displays, we also offer smaller options- table top domes and small shadowboxes.
Call one of our design consultants for further information.
