What is freeze drying?
Freeze drying is a preservation process which allows us to dry flowers while maintaining their natural shape and color. Good Housekeeping Magazine has rated freeze drying the best preservation method available today for flowers.
   
How long does it take to freeze dry flowers?
Your flowers are considered a work of art and handled accordingly. The actual freeze drying process takes 10 to 12 days. The entire freeze dry and design process takes 12 to 16 weeks.
   
Can all flowers be freeze dried?
We have perfected freeze drying almost all types of flowers. However, we are unable to freeze dry bouvardia and daisies.
   
Do the flowers change color?
Some colors, such as dark red, will tend to deepen. Whites may take on more of an ivory appearance. You must remember the flowers are being preserved and Mother Nature believes in changing the colors when fresh flowers are dried. Preserved freeze dried flowers will keep their shape but color may change slightly.
   
How long will freeze dried flowers last?
This depends on the environment the flowers are placed in after preservation. Excessive humidity and ultraviolet light are the main enemies of preserved flowers. Designs in plexiglass bubble frames, glass shadowboxes, or glass boxes and domes are protected from high humidity. Placing these displays in indirect lighting will minimize fading.

How much does it cost?
The cost is based on the type and size of the display. Our displays range in price from $50 to $600, with the average around $350.00. For bridal flower designs we require a $150.00 non-refundable deposit prior to the wedding. Once the display is chosen the remaining balance is due.
   
When should I place my order?

Customers with “Keepsake Flowers” (other than wedding) should call us as soon as possible at 623-977-2010. Wedding customers should call and reserve space in our freeze dryers prior to the wedding. We can then provide you with helpful information and supplies.

Please Note: if your wedding has already taken place or will take place in a few days, please call 623-977-2010. We may be able to serve your needs.

   
Do I need to select my display now?
No. We only require a $150.00 non-refundable deposit, which will be applied to your total display cost. We do need you to make a final framing decision within 3 weeks of receiving the flowers. Our professional designers will be available to assist you.
   
How soon do you need the flowers?
The sooner (fresher), the better the results. Flowers should be dropped off the first business day after the wedding. Please call 623-977-2010 to arrange for our services.

Please call us at 623-977-2010 with any additional questions you may have.
