      • Quality Check: We will check the quality of the flowers received, photograph and prepare for drying (Any mementos will be bagged and placed in a secure space)
      • Drying: Flowers are carefully placed in silica gel, marked with your name and information, and set aside for drying (This can take 4-6 weeks based on the thickness of the flowers) 
      • Arrangement: Once dry, we check the quality of the dried flowers, photograph and begin arranging flowers to your design preference. 
      • Samples: We design each item in three sample arrangements, photograph and email images for approval. 
      • Approval Process: We ask that you respond to all communications as soon as possible as this is a long process and time is very important. Once approved, we will begin the process of pouring.
  • Final Payment 
    • Once you have approved the design(s), we will send an invoice requesting final payment. All payments must be submitted prior to pouring resin.
  • Resin Pouring 
    • We use resin created for flower and deep pours, to help create clear, bubble-free designs. *Please note, some bubbles may remain in the final piece. 
  • Curing and Finishing 
    • Your item(s) are left to cure completely, a process that can take 24-48 hours. Any final touches, such as sanding, polishing and flood coat (clear finish) are applied to enhance the final piece.
  • Quality Check
    • After a final quality check (which is done throughout the process), we allow your item(s) to continue curing approximately 72 hours before shipping to you.
  • Shipping
    • Once your preserved items are ready, we will securely package and ship all items to you, including any remaining materials not used. 
  • Enjoy YOUR Keepsake Items 
    • Unbox and place your arrangements to enjoy with friends and family. 
  • Communication and Review
    • After you have inspected and placed your new keepsake(s), please be sure to let us know how we did by reviewing us on our website.

Things to Know About Epoxy Resin

UV Sensitivity and Ambering
UV Exposure: Epoxy resin is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the resin to yellow or "amber" over time. This is a natural process that occurs as the resin breaks down under UV rays.
Discoloration Timeline: The rate at which resin yellows depends on the type of resin used, the intensity of UV exposure, and the duration. Some resins may show signs of ambering within a few months, while others may take longer.


Care Instructions to Minimize Discoloration
Indoor Use: To minimize the risk of amber-ing, keep epoxy resin products indoors or in shaded areas where they are less likely to be exposed to direct sunlight.
Rotating Placement: If your resin product is part of home decor and exposed to sunlight, rotate it periodically to ensure even exposure and reduce uneven discoloration.

Understanding and Embracing Natural Aging
Aesthetic Changes: Some customers appreciate the ambering effect as it gives the resin a warm, vintage appearance adding character over time. 
Managing Expectations: Be aware that resin products are likely to change color over time, especially if exposed to sunlight. This is not a defect but a characteristic of the material.
