FAQs

 

  • How long does the process take?
Once we receive your flowers, there are several steps in the process of turning them into your beautiful custom piece. The first step is the most important - Pressing! The pressing can takes approximately 4-6 weeks. We prefer to cautiously spend longer pressing to ensure that all of the moisture is removed. The next step is composing; We spend a great deal of time carefully placing the flowers and gluing them into the perfect arrangement. The final step is framing.  All-in-all your beautiful bouquet will be back in your arms in approximately 12 to 16 weeks. We will prioritize quality above speed. We will keep you updated, and of course notify you as soon as your piece is ready. 
  • How do I get my flowers to you?

We accept orders from all over the U.S! Visit the Shipping your Flowers page for detailed instructions. We also offer Re-creations, where your bouquet is replicated with fresh flowers from our local florist. This eliminates the need to ship your flowers and ensures that we receive them in excellent condition! Visit the Re-creations page for details.  

  • Do you use all of my flowers?

We probably won't use ALL of the flowers that you send us. When your bouquet arrives, we will go through and select the best quality flowers to press. After pressing, we carefully select the very best flowers to fit the frame size and design style you've selected.

  • How long will my custom piece last?

Your flowers will fade some over time. Even during the initial process of pressing your flowers, the colors will change. We do not use any preservatives or dyes in the preservation process. We highly recommend keeping your finished piece out of direct sunlight and avoiding humid areas (ex. the bathroom). 

All of our framed pieces come with 99% UV resistant glass.

  • What flowers can't be pressed?

We will take a swing at whatever flowers you send us. In our experience, there are a few things we would prefer to avoid:

    Succulents
      Thick branches
        Large Pine cones
          • Can pictures/ribbons/etc be added to my framed piece?

          In short, no. Please do not send us anything other than your flowers. If you'd like for us to consider an exception, please reach out to us with your request via contact@berniesbouquets.com
