Floral Preservation Guide

Preserve the beauty of your flowers forever with Handmade by Theia. Whether it’s a wedding bouquet, memorial flowers, or a special arrangement, I turn your blooms into timeless resin keepsakes like bookends, trays, and bowls.

 

💐 How It Works

 

1. Book Your Spot

  • Place your order for the item you’d like (bookends, tray, bowl, etc.).

  • This reserves your spot on my preservation calendar.

 

2. Send Your Flowers

  • I’ll provide detailed shipping instructions after checkout.

  • You cover shipping to me; I cover shipping of your finished keepsake back to you.

3. Drying & Design

  • Fresh flowers are carefully dried using a multi-day silica process to preserve color and shape.

  • Dried or artificial flowers can also be used if you prefer.

 

4. Resin Preservation

  • I arrange your flowers in a design that highlights their beauty.

  • Flowers are then sealed in resin, layer by layer, creating a crystal-clear, durable keepsake.

 

5. Finishing Touches

  • After curing, each piece is sanded, polished, and inspected.

  • Your resin floral preservation piece is packaged securely and shipped to your door.

 

 

📅 Processing Timeline

 

  • Fresh flowers: 6-8 weeks (includes drying + curing).

  • Dried or artificial flowers: 4-6 weeks.

  • Timelines may vary slightly based on size, complexity, and time of year.

 

 

 

 

🌺 What Can Be Preserved?

 

  • Wedding bouquets — the perfect way to keep your wedding memories close.

  • Memorial flowers — a heartfelt keepsake to honor a loved one.

  • Special arrangements — birthdays, anniversaries, or “just because” blooms.

  • Artificial flowers — for lasting beauty with no timeline restrictions.
