For
the best results in flower preservation, it is highly
recommended to arrange for a consultation after
you have met with your florist. We will review your
flower selections and determine the best care for
your flowers. Here are a few things to keep in mind
when choosing flowers for your bouquet: |
~ All flowers will change color. Keep in mind that these
are real dried flowers and nature plays a big part in
this process. Over time, your flowers will take on a
softer antique look.
~ While most flowers
freeze dry pretty well, some flowers like chrysanthemums,
spider dahlias and

may not freeze dry successfully. Check with your florist
if you are unsure of your flowers or call Simone's Timeless
Garden. |
Care & Handling After the Wedding
Arrange in
advance to have your flowers delivered to Simone's Timeless
Garden as soon after the wedding as possible. The fresher
the flowers, the more successful the results. Before the delivery,
keep the flowers cool, but not frozen. An ice chest works
well for transporting. Line the bottom of the chest with ice
or ice packs and cover with a plastic bag and towel. Place
the flowers upon the towel, yet do not allow them to become
wet or float on the water.
If an ice
chest is not possible, place the flowers loosely in a plastic
bag and blow air into it. Close the bag tightly and place
in a refrigerator. Because bruising causes the flowers to
brown, delicate handling can help minimize the damage to the
flowers.
A
pick-up service is available with advance reservations for
a nominal charge. Please feel welcome to call with any further
questions you may have at: (253) 838-1069.
Many
beautiful memories to you on your special day!
