Frequently Asked Questions

 "The drying process varies depending on the type of flower and the weather conditions. In warmer months, flowers tend to dry more quickly, while the cooler, wetter months with increased moisture in the air can slow things down. To ensure the best results, I prefer keeping the flowers in the presses for at least four weeks." 

 "Believe me, I share your excitement and eagerness to see the final masterpiece! However, creating these beautiful pieces takes time, as there are countless behind-the-scenes processes like quality control and fine-tuning that are essential to ensuring perfection. From the moment your flowers are dropped off to when you collect your finished frame, the estimated turnaround time is approximately 3-4 months. Rest assured, I’ll keep you updated every step of the way as your florals progress through each stage. I promise, it will absolutely be worth the wait!" 

 "I’m happy to press any type of flower; however, some blooms may not cooperate or might have pre-existing issues that can impact their outcome in the press. While I’ll carefully press everything, only the best and most suitable pieces will be selected for your final framework." 

 "Juggling everything as a one-person operation with a little one in tow, I aim to stay as organised as possible. Ideally, I’d love for you to book 4-5 months ahead of your big day to secure availability. That said, I’m always happy to hear from you at any stage, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your request if I have the capacity." 

 "Most florals will naturally dim, dull, or deepen in color during the pressing process, but there's a certain beauty in watching nature take its course. While the final framework may not match the vibrancy of your flowers on the big day, it still captures their charm and serves as a heartfelt memento." 

 "White florals often need a little extra care to maintain their freshness, as they tend to dry to a tan or beige hue. That’s where a touch of powdered paint works wonders, helping to restore their brightness and enhance their natural beauty." 

 "Absolutely! Some meaningful additions could include your wedding photo, marriage certificate, his and hers vows, fabric from the wedding dress, or even memorial charms. I’ll work with whatever you choose to ensure your dream frame becomes a reality!" 

 "Although I can’t press flowers that are already dried, I can absolutely work with what you have! Dried bouquets can look breathtaking when displayed in a shadow box frame, creating a unique and beautiful keepsake. 

 "If this is something you wish had been available during your special day, you're in luck! Just share a few photos, and I’ll carefully source the same florals to press and create a unique piece just for you—possibly including a photograph from your special day to make it even more meaningful." 

 "Not currently, but this may be something I explore in the future. For now, the upfront booking fee is $150.00, and the remaining balance can be paid at your convenience—in installments or all at once. The final payment simply needs to be settled before you collect your finished frame."
