Frequently Asked Questions

For best results, I always recommend providing your flowers fresh, within 2 days of your event. The quicker we get your flowers, the better results! If you have pre-dried flowers, I can preserve them in resin arrangements or crushed flowers, but unfortunately I am not able to press them.

Although it is preferred that you or someone you know hand delivers your flowers to everBloom, we can make accommodations. We can arrange flower pickup, charged at a fixed mileage rate if your event is within 1.5 hours of Salina. You can also overnight ship your flowers if you do not live within a close driving distance. If you would like to make these alternative arrangements, please fill out the contact form to receive proper shipping instructions or to coordinate flower pickup.

If you do not have the flowers from your event anymore but would like a preservation piece made, we can recreate your bouquet! You can order a replica of the flowers from your original bouquet, or I can help get flowers ordered for you. Complete the contact form for more information on this process.

We can use artificial flowers in resin arrangements, but they cannot be pressed. Please let us know ahead of time if your bouquet is artificial.

When flowers are received pre-dried, you can expect to get your finished pieces in 3-4 weeks. When flowers are received fresh, you can expect to get your finished pieces in 6-8 weeks. Turnaround time can be shortened/extended based on demand.

Unfortunately, no. Some flowers are too large for certain pieces. For example, a full size rose will not fit in a ring holder or wine stopper. However, smaller spray roses typically do. Similarly, not all flowers press well and some are too thick to be pressed. If you have certain flowers you want to ensure are preserved in your piece, reach out for more information on what options might be best for your flowers!

For resin arrangements, we use professional grade silica gel to dry your flowers for 2-4 weeks. For pressed flowers, we meticulously press each bloom using a professional flower press, and allow them to dry for 3-5 weeks. Please keep in mind that the color of some flowers changes in the drying process. For example: red flowers often dry a dark purple color. Note that all flowers must be completely dried before I can create your piece.

Most of the time, your flowers will look very similar to how they appeared when they were fresh. However, it is important to note that some flowers do dry in different colors. For example, red flowers often turn a dark purple or burgundy color. Additionally, your flowers may have "bruises" that become visible only after the dried flowers are encased in resin. These spots cannot be "fixed," but they do contribute to the unique and natural beauty of your preserved arrangement. We take great care in handling each flower to ensure the best possible preservation.
