Yes. Pressed flowers naturally continue to age over time. While we use professional preservation techniques to help slow the aging process, no method can permanently stop nature.

Some flowers retain their color for many years, while others may soften or develop vintage tones. We believe these natural changes are part of your flowers' story and preserve them as authentically as possible.

Just like your memories, your flowers will naturally age over time, making your keepsake even more unique.
We recommend shipping your flowers within 1–3 days after your event. The sooner they arrive, the better the final preservation.
Yes! Local drop-offs are available by appointment. If youre on Oahu this is the best option.
We always do our best to work with the flowers that arrive. Minor wilting or damage is often expected during shipping and usually doesn't prevent us from creating a beautiful keepsake.

If your flowers arrive in poor condition and aren't suitable for preservation, we'll contact you before moving forward. In some cases, we may recommend purchasing replacement flowers to recreate portions of your bouquet. Any replacement flower costs would be discussed and approved by you before we make any purchases.

Following our shipping instructions and sending your flowers via overnight or 1–2 day shipping gives them the best chance of arriving in excellent condition.
To give your flowers the best chance of preserving beautifully, we recommend trimming the stems and placing your bouquet in a vase with fresh, cool water. Keep your flowers in a cool area away from direct sunlight until you're ready to ship or drop them off.

We do not recommend storing your flowers in the refrigerator, as this can sometimes cause damage depending on the type of flowers.

For the best results, ship your flowers as soon as possible after your event using overnight or 1–2 day shipping. Be sure to follow our Shipping Instructions for step-by-step packing guidance.
