Question 1

Will my flowers look the same as they did at my event?

Accepted Answer

No, it’s not realistic to expect them to look the same as the event day. The flowers go through a lot of steps before they come into our hands. Events, shipping, etc. places some stress on the flowers because of which we always encourage people to send extras from a centerpiece. Bruising- some flowers get bruised on the event day, when they are handled or shipped. This is out of our or anyone’s control and would lead to transparent spots, we won't know until they are casted in resin. They still look so beautiful.

Question 2

How can I get my flower to you?

Accepted Answer

You can drop off at our Westfield, NJ location or shipping as buyers expense. (Detailed shipping instructions will be provided after purchase, along with drop off address).

Question 3

Will I be able to see the placement of flowers before it is finally in resin?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For the main piece we provide two layout choices. More than that will be an additional charge of $35. We want to handle flowers as little as we can to maintain their integrity. They are fragile on drying. The more we touch them, the more they get distorted. If you have a design in mind, send it to us beforehand so we work along those lines, which avoids spoiling flowers unnecessarily.

Question 4

Will it be perfect like the fresh bouquet?

Accepted Answer

Each piece is lovingly handmade and takes up-to 20-30 hours of hands-on time across many days. Every piece is poured layer after layer with hours of curing in between. Due to the nature of the handmade process, you should expect imperfections like a few bubbles and little bits of nature. The pour lines will be visible on the sides of every block. The lines are less visible on other shapes but will be there as well. Although our best effort and attention to detail is given to every piece, if you are expecting perfection, I am not the right artist for you.

Question 5

Is it safe to put my artwork in direct sunlight or near a heat source?

Accepted Answer

All epoxies will gain a yellow/amber tint over a long period of time but we use a product with advanced UV inhibitors and it is one of the clearest on the market that is safe for flowers. To ensure your artwork lasts for years to come, it is recommended to store your piece out of direct sunlight and away from a direct heat source like a fireplace mantle etc.

Question 6

Can you cast my air-dried flowers, silk or wood flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The process and prices are the same. We do not press flowers but if yours are already dried we can work with them.
