Resin pieces should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources. This will preserve the color of your piece. We use high grade resin with UV protectant, however some of the color may fade and slightly yellow over many years.
Resin pieces can be cleaned by using a lint free soft cloth. If needed, you may use warm water along with a soft cloth. Do not use rubbing alcohol on your piece. This will impact the integrity of the resin.
Do not put bottle stoppers in the dishwasher or use hot water to clean them. They can be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild soap if needed.

We would love to be able to accomodate orders of all sizes. However, floral preservation is an artform that takes a lot of time, attention, space, and costly materials. We spend hours carefully deconstructing your bouquet to find the best blooms and performing revival techniques on those blooms that may need a little help to get back to thier beautiful state. From there, your flowers are monitiored and adjusted for days/ weeks until they reach thier preserved state. All of this care is required prior to begining the casting process. Our resin artists use high quality resin to cast your flowers which also takes days of designing, pouring, monitoring, and love. Due to the elaborate nature of this process, we must require a $350 minimum on all orders.
