Step Four: Secure & Confirm your Booking
Enquire with our form below to make sure your special date is available, you will also be given drop-off time options - please note we will email you three weeks prior and one week before to confirm actual day/time/drop-off address
Once you have confirmation of your date, a $200 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your booking – the remaining amount is due before your beautiful frame is sent out to you (4-6 months after drop-off)
Step Five: Send your Flowers
We are based in Kainga, Christchurch (Just before Kaiapoi) and we accept both overnight* courier or in person drop offs.
For the best results we need to receive your flowers no later than 2-3 days after the event; the sooner the better
For Shipping -
*For overnight courier we will send you shipping instructions and address 1 week prior to your big day
*If your final piece is to be shipped, an extra $60 will be invoiced to cover this cost
Shipping is within New Zealand only
If your flowers arrive & we don't think we can achieve a great result we will discuss this with you - We don't want any disappointment from both sides
Step Six: Preservation Process
Once we receive your bouquet, we process every single flower and press in traditional flower presses accordingly to what each flower requires
Most flowers need to be deconstructed petal by petal for the best result, this means they also need to be put back together which is extremely time-consuming and can take days to reconstruct a single bouquet
From start to finish we spend an average of 30-40 hours on every single bouquet to ensure the best pressing and reconstruction results
Please allow 16-24 weeks to press and frame your bouquets
Important Information
The colours and textures of your bouquet may be altered due to the preservation process
-
Colour correction is available - we generally will only correct white and light pink flowers, all other colours are left natural
-
Pure white florals tend to turn to an antiqued white, cream or mustard
-
Pink florals can fade to a light pink/yellow, or a darker pink or purple
-
Very light pinks may turn grey
-
Red tones can become more pink/purple or dark burgundy
-
Every single flower is unique and takes the pressing process differently and if required we may colour correct
-
If the style you have chosen doesn't best suit your bouquet I will discuss this with you at the time
Flowers that DON’T press well
-
Chrysanthemum
-
Anthurium
-
Tropical Flowers
-
White Stock
-
Banksia
-
Succulents
Our floral frames will fade over time as they are a natural product – We recommend keeping our floral frames out of direct sunlight to prevent them fading fast and avoid displaying in damp areas
There may be fall-out from some of your flowers once framed, again they are a natural product and not every single part of the flowers can be completely stuck down
