Your Guide to Flower Preservation in Resin

SENDING YOUR FLOWERS

You should send your FRESH flower bouquets 1-3 days after the occasion. If it’s past the recommended period, please send us a picture of your bouquet’s current condition so we can evaluate. If your flowers are dried and preserved (Fresh flowers that turned brown or has started wilting are different from those that are already dried/preserved flowers) , you can send them anytime.
If your flowers are fresh, please make sure to cover the stems with wet tissue (not wipes) and plastic so they will keep hydrated while in transit.
If you’re sending your flowers via motorcycle couriers, please pack them in a bag . If your flowers will be shipped via local couriers (LBC, J&T, etc.) we recommend a packaging box.

PRESERVING YOUR FLOWERS

Our Team will evaluate your flowers upon arrival and deconstruct them accordingly. We will only get and preserve the amount of flowers that will fit your chosen molder(s). You can also deconstruct & select the flowers you want to preserve.
Fresh flowers will undergo dehydration/drying process, which takes 2-3 weeks depending on their type and condition. We may re-shape your focal flowers (e.g. roses, peonies, etc.) by opening the petals to make them look fuller and in full-bloom.
Already dried and preserved flowers that no longer need dehydration will be lined-up immediately for designing and resin preservation.
Fresh flowers, once dried, will normally change or lose their natural colors. Their sizes may also shrink and their shapes may be deformed.

DESIGNING YOUR FLOWERS

Once your flowers are dried, we will start designing them on the shape of your chosen molder. Note that we will only include the best looking flowers we have saved from your bouquet, and use only the amount that can fit your molder size.

RESIN POURING

After designing, your flowers will now be arranged in your chosen molder and will start being poured with resin. This process takes 2-4 weeks depending on the molder size. The bigger the molder, the longer it takes for resin to cure.
When cured, some flowers may become translucent, and/or change colors (e.g. dried white flowers may turn yellow/cream.) It is the flowers’ normal reaction to the resin formula. Flower bruises that are not visible while the flowers are still fresh will also be visible.
Bigger flowers that cannot fully fit the resin block may be embossed on the top/face of the art, but are still covered with resin.
There may be a few bubbles and microbubbles inside the art that we cannot prevent from occurring. This happens when there is air trapped inside the flowers and went up overtime while the resin is curing.
Total lead time to complete a resin block is 5-7 weeks, but it usually changes depending on volume of booking(s) made each month. It can go up to 10-12 weeks during peak seasons.
