Freeze-drying

your flowers-is a preservation process for fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables. It keeps the natural shape and colour of the item, and produces an incredible true-to-life finished product, by removing all traces of moisture.

Each flower is treated with a special formula which helps keep the colour and texture. The process can take any where between three to four weeks to complete. When completed the flowers are beautifully displayed in a style of your choice, either under a glass dome or framed for you to enjoy.

Drying

your bouquet –if you wish to preserve your flowers at home you can use drying agents such as sand, silica gel or borax. This involves covering each flower completely with the chosen substance, which will draw out the moisture.
