Floral preservation is a multistep process that takes dedication from the preservationist and the client. Read below for each step of the process. Please also take a look at FAQ section.

First Step:

  • Select your frame size and frame color in our services section and purchase to reserve your spot.

Second Step:

  • I will email you a contract and a questionnaire to learn more about your design and needs. I will also email drop off or shipping instructions.

Third Step:

  • Dropping off locally: Have you, a friend, or a family member find a time to drop it off to me in New Braunfels ASAP after your event.

  • Shipping: Follow my instructions for the best outcome of your flowers. I will not press flowers if they are destroyed in transit. If this occurs, an option for purchasing a replacement will be available.

Fourth Step:

  • Pressing flowers takes time, so expect the pressing process to take at least 2-3 months at the minimum. Once it is complete I will email you a mock design for your approval to glue and frame.

Fifth Step:

Come pick up or wait for your forever memory in the mail!!
