My attention to beauty and longevity. I offer color correction services to restore or enhance flowers that naturally lose their vibrancy during the drying process. While pressed flowers preserved beautifully, fading is a natural part of the preservation overtime. Color correction helps maintain a look of your bouquet for years to come while staying true its original beauty. Every framed preservation also includes UV-protective glass as a standard feature, helping reduce sun damage and extend the life and color of your preserved blooms.

Floral preservation is a slow art. What many people don’t realize is just how much time and care goes into floral preservation. From the moment your flowers arrive, they are carefully evaluated, gently deconstructed, and individually placed to dry using professional preservation techniques. This stage alone can take several weeks, depending on the flower types, and their moisture levels. After drying, each bloom is meticulously reconstructed and thoughtfully arranged. Designing the final layout is an artistic process that requires balance, patience, and a trained eye. No two pieces are ever the same because no two stories are the same. In total, floral preservation can take several weeks to several months from start to finish. It is a slow dry art by design—because rushing something that meaningful simply isn’t an option. Estimate for approximately 6 months, the goal is always sooner.

Working with me means that your flowers will be cared for as if they were my own. I am known by my family and friends as a perfectionist— not because I expect perfection, but because I genuinely care about every detail. From the moment I receive your bouquet to the final framed piece, I take my time to ensure each bloom is thoughtfully preserved and beautifully arranged. My goal is to create a keepsake that not only reflects your special memories, but is crafted with the highest level of care, quality, and attention to detail

Yes! Freshness makes all the difference. The sooner we receive your flowers, the better they will preserve color, shape, and overall quality. Flowers begin to dehydrate and brown very quickly, especially after being out of the water for several hours. Even one day extra can significantly affect the outcome. Ideally, the bouquet should be dropped off within 24 hours of your event. If that is not possible, keeping them in water and a cool environment away from the heat and direct sunlight can help until they are delivered. Because flower preservation is such a detailed and time intensive process—from drying and stabilizing each bloom to carefully designing and finishing your keepsake—starting with the freshest flowers give us the best foundation to create something truly beautiful and long lasting.

As moisture is removed, some blooms may soften in color, become more muted, or even change to a completely different shade. For example, white flowers may develop ivory or cream tones, and red and purples may deepen overtime. These natural variations are part of what makes every preserved bouquet unique. While I take every precaution to preserve your flowers as beautifully as possible, the final colors are influenced by each flower’s variety, maturity, and condition once received.
-
No two flowers are exactly alike, and each bloom carries its own natural color variations and undertones. During the preservation process, colors may shift unique ways depending on the type of flower. Deeper shades, such as reds and burgundies, often transform into plum or maroon tones, while softer pinks may develop a subtle lavender appearance. White blooms commonly take on a warm cream or ivory finish.
Because flowers are living, organic materials, they naturally continue to change with time. These gentle transformations are part of what makes preserved flower so special, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects the beauty of nature. To help enhance and preserve the original tones of your blooms, we offer professional color correction when needed to support long lasting vibrancy.

We recommend booking your floral preservation service 6–12 months before your big day to ensure availability and secure your place in our preservation schedule. At this time, I’ve made the intentional decision to accept a limited number of orders so that each bouquet receives the time, care, and attention it truly deserves. This allows me to dedicate myself fully to every preservation piece and create a keepsake that reflects the significance and beauty of your special moments.
