How long do the products last?

Our dried flowers and decor items are carefully dried and preserved to ensure longevity. With proper care, they can last for an extended period, often several months or even years. Factors such as environmental conditions and handling practices can affect the lifespan of the products.

How do I take care of the products?

To maintain the quality and appearance of your dried flowers, it's important to handle them with care. Keep them away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and excessive moisture. For specific care instructions, please contact our customer support team.

How are the flowers dried and preserved?

Our flowers are carefully harvested at their peak, and then they undergo a drying and preservation process. The exact techniques used may vary depending on the flower type, but common methods include air-drying, silica gel drying and glycerin preservation. These methods help retain the natural appearance and shape of the flowers.

Can you order me something that's not on your website?

Do dried flowers go mouldy?

Professionally dried and preserved flowers are less susceptible to mould compared to fresh flowers. However, it's essential to keep them in a dry environment and avoid exposure to excessive moisture. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent any mould formation and ensure the longevity of the dried flowers.

Do dried flowers still smell?

The natural scent of fresh flowers diminishes during the drying and preservation process. Dried flowers may have a more subtle fragrance, but it will not be as strong as fresh flowers. Some varieties may retain a light scent, while others may have no noticeable scent at all. You will often find that some preserved items will have a scent due to the preservation process.

My wedding is next year. When should I buy my dried flowers?

For weddings, we recommend purchasing dried flowers closer to your wedding date to ensure their optimal appearance and longevity. Dried flowers can retain their beauty for several months/ years. Please also bear in mind that we have a lot of seasonal products that will change and therefore something you may see today may not be available when you need it for your big day. Luckily, we have a vast variety to choose from and therefore you won’t be disappointed.

How many stems do I get in a bunch?

We specify either the bunch weight or the number of stems that we sell our products by. I’m afraid we can’t estimate for example how many stems are in a bunch of 100 grams of bunny tails. In some cases, if neither weight nor stem count are present, please use the image of the product as this is the actual bunch size.

How can I take care of my Preserved Flowers?

Preserved flowers are real flowers and plants that have been preserved using natural glycerine and dyes. This will help them to stay beautiful for many months. Tips to take care of them:

  • No Water Needed: Don’t put them in water or humid places.
  • Avoid Color Transfer: Our flowers have been preserved using natural dyes and are not colourfast. Keep away from clothes and furniture to prevent stains.
  • Be Mindful of Placement: Don’t place the vase on surfaces that stain easily.
  • Manage Humidity: Ideal humidity is under 70%. In high humidity, dry the stems with tissue. Changes in humidity can cause preserved flowers to leak and therefore we advise you to avoid rooms that are going to experience such changes.
  • Indoor Use Only: Keep at room temperature, away from heat sources like radiators.
  • Protect Color: Position away from direct sunlight.
  • Dust Off Gently: Use a hairdryer on cool setting from a distance to clean dust.
