What is the process like?
The preservation process typically spans 6 to 9 weeks, accounting for pressing and drying your flowers. However, slight variations may occur depending on the types of flowers and foliage in your bouquet.
From start to finish, including pressing, reconstruction, freeze-drying, and framing, the entire process usually takes around 10 months. Each frame receives careful attention to detail, ensuring the creation of a stunning and enduring memento of your cherished flowers.
What is the best time to hand over my flowers for preservation?
For the optimal results, flowers should be handed over promptly while still fresh. Once flowers begin to wilt or discolor, these changes will be more pronounced after pressing. In such cases, we may choose to exclude flowers from the final design based on their condition.
We recommend delivering your flowers within 2 to 3 days after your event to ensure they are at their peak.
- Flowers dropped off before 3 pm on a weekday will be pressed the same day.
- Flowers dropped off on weekends will be pressed on the next working day, in order of your booking timeslot.
To avoid disappointment, please book your preferred drop-off date and time early. Kindly note that drop-offs are strictly by appointment only.
Can I still press my bouquet if it is already dried?
Regrettably, once your bouquet has dried, it cannot undergo the pressing process. Dried flowers tend to be brittle and will disintegrate under pressure.
However, we provide recreation services if you wish to create a flower frame out of the same types of flowers used in your bouquet.
Will the colors of my preserved flowers change over time?
Pressed flowers will naturally undergo colour changes as their pigments break down with exposure to light, humidity, and oxygen. This gentle transformation is inevitable and is part of the beauty of botanical art — each piece evolves slowly over the years, much like a vintage keepsake.
To help slow this process, our frames are fitted with a specially designed seal to create optimal conditions inside the frame. As different flowers fade at varying rates, and environmental factors also play a role, we recommend displaying your frame away from direct sunlight and keeping it in a cool, dry place.
What types of flowers should I use?
Always try to have a good variety of foliage and flowers in your bouquet to get the best results.
As flowers are a natural product, their colours may undergo changes during the preservation process. Brighter flowers tend to retain their colours better even though they may look a few shades darker than its original state. For example, a red flower may press into a darker shade of purple, while a bright yellow flower may press into an orange shade.
Light-colored flowers, particularly white/light pink roses, may undergo a natural browning process when pressed, and fade faster as compared to other types of flowers.
Here is a list of some commonly used flowers that do not work well with our pressing methods:
- Lisianthus
- Calla lilies
- Anthuriums
- White, Ivory, Light pink roses
- Chrysanthemums
- Proteas
- Gerbera/Daisy Family
- Cymbidium Orchids
Will all of the flowers be pressed?
The number of flowers we press depends on the frame size you choose. Since not all flowers press well, we include some extra ones as backups. Any flowers that aren’t used in the final piece will be returned to you. If you’d like your entire bouquet pressed, we can do this for an additional fee. Just drop us a note when you place your order if you’d like this option.
I have already received my flowers and I would like to check if you still have any last-minute slots?
To ensure proper preservation, we must press and preserve flowers promptly upon receipt, requiring advanced planning and resource allocation.
However, we understand that last-minute or unplanned needs can arise.
If you need urgent assistance, click the "Need Help?" button at the bottom right corner of the page. Let us know your request and send us a few close-up photos of your flowers.
How long can resin last?
The longevity of resin coasters depends on various factors such as how they are used, maintained, and stored. When cared for properly—kept away from direct sunlight and UV light, and cleaned gently—they can last for many years without significant yellowing or degradation. We use resin that provides a durable and protective layer for the pressed flowers, ensuring they maintain their beauty over time. Like any decorative item, regular use and exposure to harsh conditions may also impact their appearance.
Do dried flowers fade in resin?
Despite preservation efforts, organic materials like dried flowers are subject to natural oxidation and exposure to UV light, which can contribute to color changes. While resin provides a protective layer, prolonged exposure to sunlight can accelerate fading. Storing resin items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight can help preserve their appearance.

Why am I unable to place an order with my shipping address in West Malaysia?
Currently, orders can only be placed for delivery addresses within nearby states (Kuala Lumpur, Malacca & Negeri Sembilan) to our drop-off location in Selangor.
If you are able to personally bring your bouquet to the drop-off point or arrange for a delivery service to do so, please contact us. We'll assist you with placing your order.
If I am not in Singapore or Malaysia but can fly into Singapore to drop off my bouquet, would it be possible to use your service?
Due to the need to press the flowers while they are still fresh to maintain their beauty and integrity, we typically limit our services to nearby locations such as Singapore and Malaysia.
However, if you can ensure that your bouquet arrives in fresh condition—similar to some of our customers who have flown in from neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Indonesia to have their flowers pressed — we would be delighted to assist you.
We will also work with you to determine a safe and effective method for returning the finished product to your location.
