  • Absolutely! If you have a frame size or colour in mind that is not a part of our regular selection, we can work with you to get the frame of your dreams made. Looking for a specific design? Just let us know!

  • The sooner, the better! We suggest booking your floral preservation at the same time you are booking other vendors. We hate to disappoint customers if our booking are full.

    The fresher the flowers are when we receive them, the nicer they turn out.

  • Certainly. We have pressed many all white bouquets. We offer complimentary colour enhancement to keep your whites looking bright over time.

    For all white bouquets, we suggest having your florist add texture and variety into your bouquet!

  • To book your spot, we require a deposit of $100.00 and a signed contract. Any remaining balance is due once we have received your flowers.

  • The art of floral preservation is a slow process. Between pressing and drying, reconstructing and designing, and final framing, we advise that our turnaround time is a minimum of 6 months, seasonal busyness-dependent.

  • We have yet to encounter a flower we couldn’t press! We use a variety of pressing techniques, dependent on each flower and colour.

    However, not all flowers press equally. Some common difficult-to-press flowers include chrysanthemums, lilies, and some tropicals.

    We do our best to incorporate all flowers in your final piece, but it ultimately depends on many factors such as freshness, size of frame chosen, etc.

  • For all frames, we suggest keeping them out of direct sunlight as much as possible to avoid fading, and away from moist environments such as the bathroom or kitchen to prevent any potential for molding.

    Frames can be wiped and cleaned regularly with glass cleaner.

  • The short answer is yes! Ideally we would love for you to book in advance, but we do often accept last minute bookings until our intake for the week is full.

  • Yes, we offer complimentary colour correction for any blooms that need a little enhancement after being in the press. We often colour enhance white and pink flowers, to keep them looking as they did when they were fresh. Our style is considered light and natural for colour correction.
