How the Preservation
Process Works
A gentle journey from bouquet to heirloom
01
Select Your Keepsake & Place Your Order
Browse our collection and choose the designs you'd like for your preserved flowers. At checkout, select your flower shipping date. After your order is placed, prep & shipping instructions will be sent to you via email.
02
Send or Drop Off Your Flowers
When it's time to ship your bouquet, please follow our flower care and packing guidelines to ensure they arrive safely and in the best condition. Local drop - off is available in Fort Lauderdale, FL 33314. Email us at pastelflorals305@gmail.com to arrange a date and time for your drop - off.
03
​
We Receive Your Flowers
Once your flowers are delivered, a confirmation email will be sent confirming receipt and including images of their condition upon arrival. As flowers are a natural and delicate material, not all blooms may arrive suitable for casting. In such cases, a floral replication may be offered for an additional fee. However, when the recommended care and shipping guidelines are followed, this is rarely necessary.
04
Drying Process
We begin drying your flowers immediately using silica sand. This process takes up to one month to ensure all moisture is removed before casting, creating a long - lasting keepsake. Please expect color shifts: whites may turn creamy or yellowish, reds often deepen to burgundy, brown or black, some flowers may become translucent or speckled.

Designing Your Piece
​
After drying, your flowers thoughtfully arranged. We will email you with a photo of the proposed design. You will have the opportunity to approve or request changes before any resin casting begins. We offer up to two free revisions. We generally allow one week for this portion of the process. If we do not receive a response within the requested timeframe, we will proceed with the proposed design. Be sure to keep an eye on your email for communication from us.

​
Casting
​
This stage of the process can take up to three weeks to complete. Resin is carefully poured in multiple layers to ensure proper curing and minimize air bubbles. However, some bubbles may still appear, this is a natural part of the process, as air trapped within the flowers is slowly released during curing. Additional time is then allowed for the piece to fully cure before it moves on to the polishing stage.
07
The Final Stage
​
​This stage is where your piece truly comes to life. Each design is carefully polished, edges smoothed, any minor imperfections refined and the surface is brought to a crystal- clear shine. At this point, your piece is like a raw diamond, by the end of this stage, it transforms into a true gem. This process is typically completed within two weeks.
Shipping Your Order
​
Approximately three months after we receive your bouquet, your flowers will be fully preserved and ready to ship. Once everything polished, we'll email you to confirm your shipping address. We will not ship your order until we receive your confirmation. After confirmation, we carefully pack everything to ensure it ships safely. Your keepsake will arrive beautifully packaged in out signature box, designed to make unboxing feel just as special whether its a gift or a keepsake for yourself. We'll provide tracking information via email once your piece on its way.
