Water is extracted from the frozen flower by sublimation and then undergoes two drying processes. The 3D flower preservation keeps the flowers in their original shape, so they are not compressed or damaged in any way.
There are a few flowers that cannot be preserved due to change of texture and colour after the drying process, however these are few and far between. Contact a member of the team to ask about these types of flowers to make sure the service is suitable for you.
The team normally advise that you send your flowers to them as soon as possible to ensure they are maintained in their freshest condition. Preservation can be made up to ten days after your wedding day.
