-Your flowers will last forever! While some flowers may slightly change color over time, they still keep their natural shape and beauty for many years preserved in high quality clear epoxy resin. Our keepsakes are meant to be passed down to the next generation. -Every species and color of flower dries and reacts differently when being preserved. Oftentimes colors like reds and purples may darken, pinks may dry purple, lighter colors like pale yellows, pale pinks, and whites may turn ivory/cream or become more transparent. Petals may also develop translucent spots that are naturally caused by bruising, and may not show until resin is added. -We do offer color correction as an upgrade for specific flowers that will ensure your flowers stay a certain color. Just ask us for more info. -We cannot dry extremely dense plants such as succulents or cactus, but can use artificial ones. -All resin will naturally amber or yellow over time, keeping it out of direct sunlight and proper care will help prolong its beauty. We use professional grade and non-toxic epoxy resin with UV inhibitors in all of our creations. Adding a dark or colored background will help conceal amber coloring over time. -For wood shadow boxes that use no resin, keep in mind that flower color and shape may change over time. White, pale pink, and pale yellow flowers may turn ivory/cream and brown more easily, and reds and purples may turn darker. Color correction is recommended for most flowers in shadow boxes to prevent fading over time. The dried flowers are all sprayed with a preservative finishing spray to prolong their beauty. -All keepsakes should be kept away from direct sunlight, and away from extreme heat, cold, or humidity, and are for decorative indoor use only. After care instructions will be provided.

-Yes we do offer color correction as an upgrade for specific flowers only. It is recommended for certain flowers that have dramatically changed color, or were damaged, and most tropical flowers and greenery. -Keep in mind that color corrected flowers are hand painted and will have somewhat of a different look compared to natural flowers. -If you are interested in this extra service, please reach out for a consultation.

-We highly recommend not to try to preserve your own special flowers. It took us several years of trial and error to get professional results. Videos online may make it seem “easy” because most are professionals that have been doing this for years. So many things can go wrong when working with resin if the conditions (temperature and humidity) aren’t perfect, using cheap materials, table isn’t level, improper mixing and measuring, and overheating (flashcure). -Once items are encased in resin, they are there forever and cannot be taken out or fixed. -By the time you buy all of the necessary equipment and supplies to preserve your flowers, you could have had a professional do it for less, and with much better results. You truly get what you pay for!

-No, we do not. For all custom orders we cannot accept any returns or exchanges. If there is a problem with your order, please let us know right away. -All sales are final, and all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable.
