FAQ

✨ General Questions

 

Q: Are your items really handmade?

A: Yes! Every resin tray, pressed flower bowl, and floral preservation keepsake is handmade in my Philadelphia studio. Because each piece is poured by hand, no two are ever the same — making your resin home décor a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Q: What materials do you use in your resin art?

A: I use professional-grade epoxy resin, pressed flowers, pigments, and metallic flakes to create long-lasting, heirloom-quality décor. For flower preservation, I carefully dry and seal your blooms before embedding them in resin.

Q: Can I order custom resin pieces?

A: Yes! I create custom pressed flower bowls, wedding bouquet preservation keepsakes, and personalized resin trays. Just send me a message to discuss your ideas.

🌺 Pressed Flower Bowls & Resin Trays

 

Q: How do I care for my resin tray or pressed flower bowl?

A: Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, soak in water, or place in the dishwasher. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of pressed flowers.

Q: Can resin trays be used for food?

A: No, resin trays are not food-safe. They’re best used as perfume trays, jewelry holders, vanity décor, or coffee table accents.

Q: Will the flowers inside my resin bowl fade?

A: Natural flowers may experience subtle changes over time. To keep them looking vibrant, avoid direct sunlight and store your resin art in a cool, dry space.

💐 Wedding & Memorial Floral Preservation

 

Q: How does wedding bouquet preservation in resin work?

A: After your order, you’ll ship your fresh or dried flowers to me. Fresh flowers are dried using a silica method to keep their shape and color, as much as possible, then carefully designed into resin molds to create bookends, trays, or keepsakes.

Q: What types of flowers can be preserved?

A: Wedding bouquets, memorial flowers, or any special arrangement can be transformed into resin keepsakes. I also accept already dried flowers and artificial blooms.

Q: How long does floral preservation take?

A: Wedding and memorial flower preservation takes at least 6 weeks to allow for drying, resin curing, and finishing.

Q: How do I ship my flowers for preservation?

A: I’ll provide detailed shipping instructions once your order is placed. You cover shipping to me, and I cover shipping of your finished resin keepsake back to you.

Q: How are resin items packaged?

A: All orders are carefully packed in protective wrapping and arrive in gift-ready packaging. Larger preservation items are shipped in sturdy, cushioned boxes to keep them safe.

Q: Can I return or exchange my resin keepsake?

A: Due to the custom and handmade nature of resin floral preservation, I do not accept returns. If there’s an issue with your order, please contact me right away.
