Absolutely! If you are within the continental United States, I can absolutely preserve your flowers! Clients who don’t live nearby will can overnight me their flowers packaged according to my instructions to minimize any damage during shipping. If this is something you’re interested, in, please contact me for more information.

Once you have reserved a place in my schedule, you will receive your login credentials for your client portal, your contract and invoice, and detailed directions about how to package and ship your flowers to me safely.

If you are not within drop off distance, you will need to overnight your fresh flowers to me at your own cost and risk. Whatever you pay to ship them out to me is not included in my pricing. You will be responsible for the cost of having your final completed piece mailed back to you via a tracked and insured method. This cost will be calculated upon completion of your piece and added on to your final payment at checkout.

YES! PLEASE! Not only will this save you money in overnight shipping, it will ensure that your flowers arrive safely to me and in their best condition following your event. Contact me to discuss the details.

My current turnaround time for standard fresh flower bridal orders is 32-38 weeks. This includes drying the flowers, arranging, then casting in many thin layers. The amount of time necessary to complete your order will depend on how many pieces you have chosen to order and the season.

*Please note: May, June, September, & October weddings will take the most time. Memorial orders may take longer to complete due to the amount of items typically ordered as well as the last minute nature of the reservation. Clients who have reserved in advance take priority over last minute additions.

I do. In fact, memorial pieces were among some of my first commissions I ever took and remain to this day a very large part of the work I create. I don’t share many photos of memorial pieces out of respect for the family, as many of these contain not only flowers, but cremains, locks of hair, or photos of loved ones passed. This service extends beyond human family and includes beloved pets.

It’s never too late! I work with a lot of clients who have saved flowers from special occasions, some as far back as 20 years! I just ask that you maintain a realistic perspective with them though - they won’t look “alive” again, and I can’t piece flower dust back together. What I do with flowers is borderline magic, but I’m not actually magical! Home dried flowers will always have a more traditional and rustic look to them and will not have the bright hues that professionally preserved flowers will have. I am able to mix some fresher preserved flowers from my personal flower library in with your home dried blooms, or even to add a little sparkle to dress up beat up flowers. In the case of having only small pieces or petals, it’s worth it to consider a small jewelry dish or even a small paperweight!

If you live outside of the United States and would like to send me your already dried flowers, I am absolutely able to accommodate so long as your customs procedures and laws aren’t crazy!

Absolutely! I work with a number of local florists to locate flowers for this specific purpose. Some flowers may be difficult to locate due to seasonal availability or heirloom breeds. Send me a clear, somewhat closeup photo of your bouquet and let’s chat about it and see what we can figure out!

This is not a service I offer at this time, nor do I foresee it being something I offer in the future. Sorry!

If you request them back prior to dropping them off to me, sure! I may not have any left over though! Due to other ongoing commissions, I only dry what I absolutely think I’ll use.

No and no. I know some artists make these items, but I don’t - and I won’t. Why?

Coasters - they are complex, never quite sit flat, are terrible to place drinks on (drinks slide right off, don’t collect condensation), and with the resin I use, I sacrifice hardness for clarity. What does that mean? The resin is softer, so a thinner piece is more flexible and your drink will dent it. The resin, even if I used a harder type, is not rated for hot liquids either. It will dent. In fact, if you get coasters from another resin artist, they too will have all of these issues. I won’t make something that I know will be damaged and risk a client being annoyed with me. I can make ornaments, but they are thick, so they wouldn't make for good coasters even if I felt comfortable with using harder resin.

Trays - Honestly, I don’t enjoy pressing flowers. I borderline despise it because I really don’t like taking a beautiful flower and mashing it until it’s flat, and that’s more or less what needs to be done to have a functional, not super thick tray. Why else? Trays would be EXPENSIVE for you. There are several components to it that would create a base price without me having even preserved/pressed your flowers, arranged them, or cast with resin first. So they’d be expensive even before I did anything to them. I cannot justify asking such a staggering price for something I don’t even prefer to create. I’d rather my focus be on something I enjoy making, and trays are not it.

I am currently offering 60 minute paid video consultation options for aspiring floral artists who have some prior experience or knowledge of the process. Reserve your space below.
