the floral process
It all begins with getting your florals from you as soon as possible after your event. (Houston area drop off orders only.)
I'll then trim the flowers and place them in silica to dry for approximately 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, you can start considering which piece(s) you are interested in ordering. (If desiring a low profile piece, that must be discussed before drying begins as not all flowers will work in these designs.) Once dry, I'll send you pictures of the flowers to aid in your choices.
After deciding upon the piece(s), I'll put together a sample layout for you. Once any changes you desire have been made and the design is approved, a 50% deposit will be required before proceeding.
From that point, your order may take 1-2 weeks to complete depending on the size, number of pieces and details involved as well as my work load at that time. (Kindly remember that I do teach full time so my turn around time can be a bit slow.)
things to know
Preservation pieces make wonderful gifts to share memories of life's events with those you love!
Some flowers change color during the drying process. Most white flowers will become off white/cream. Reds will darken to more of a burgundy color. Pinks can lighten and/or change hue. Yellows can fade over time after being cast in resin.
Flowers are handled by many people during which internal bruising does occur. This bruising can become apparent as transparent patches when flowers are cast in resin.
While full size blooms are beautiful, having smaller flowers and greenery allows for more options and added details. All resin will eventually yellow to some degree over time. The pieces should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from a direct heat source/vent.
ASHES can be preserved in resin as well!

about me
Hi there! I'm Diane ~ a wife, mom, corgi mum, fulltime teacher
and Houston based resin hobbyist in the Clear Lake area.
I began working with floral preservation in 2022 and am now totally and utterly obsessed! There are SO many facets to this process, but I love learning and growing in my abilities. To continue this journey, I offer preservation options commensurate with my level of experience. This allows me the opportunity to further develop my craft at a modest cost to those interested.
I find such joy in creating floral keepsakes of life's events (engagements, weddings, memorials, funerals, births, graduations, etc)! I'm so very honored to help preserve these special memories for others!
