Please note, this information is a guide only. It will depend upon market availability at time of ordering flowers.

The suitability for preservation and pressing is based upon the condition of flowers upon delivery. Flowers require to be fresh and well hydrated, keeping stems in water but keeping blooms dry and cool in the summer and dry and frost free in the winter before delivery. Any wilted, bruised, browning, petal drop or air drying will have an impact on the preservation results.

After delivery, all flowers are cut and put into water before preservation to help attain the best results. Flowers are colour enhanced after preservation to help give a vibrancy and longer lasting colour to your picture, or sealed with a floral UV sealant. However ALL flowers will mellow and go through a natural ageing process through time which is natural, therefore flowers will take on an antique appearance over the coming years.
