What To Expect
We will do everything possible to create a piece of art that you love, but there are a few things you should expect from your final product:
-
The fresher the flowers are when we receive them, the better the color retention will be and there will be less chance of browning.
- When flowers are pressed and dried, their colors will change due to loss of pigmentation. Our color correcting process will restore your dried flowers to a color closer to their original state. Even with color correction, you should expect colors to fade and change over time. Displaying your flowers in a space out of the direct sunlight and in low humidity conditions will also help to limit color change.
- Some flowers change personality when pressed. You may find that dried petals have a slightly papery or matte quality after pressing.
- Not every flower from your arrangement will be used in your artwork although we will dry every variety of flower used and select the best-looking ones to incorporate into your finished piece.
- Flowers that have been sprayed with glitter or chemicals do not press well.
- All-white bouquets can look monotone when dried. Greenery and filler flowers add contrast and depth!
