Rose petals for flower girls?

Q.- My friend's daughter is getting married in September and she wants to have rose petals for the flower girls to throw on the white carpet. I received 2 dz long stem majestic red roses for my anniversary. Can we use them?

A.- Freeze dried rose petals do not stain the carpet. They look like fresh petals.

They are really beautiful. Also, if you place them in water they will rehydrate themselves, and become like fresh petals again.

We carry a nice selection of freeze dried rose petals in different colors that you can use if you do not have your own, or to supplement your own roses.

Bouquet with lily of the valley, sweat peas, & tulips?

Q.- I'm getting married April 21, 2007 and am looking for a way/place to preserve my bouquet (which will have lily of the valley, sweat peas, & tulips.) Can you do this for me? How long would/will it take? How much will it cost for 1 wedding bouquet?


A.- Freeze dried flowers turn out like fresh flowers. They look beautiful, and last for years. Tulips and Sweetpeas freeze dry exceptionally well. Lilly of the Valley is very fragile, and looks better pressed, which we also add to the shadowbox and gives a very nice dimensional look.

We suggest mounting your wedding flowers in a 3" shadowbox with a bouquet design similar to the one you carried. The sample on the left is a "handtied" bouquet. We also offer cascade designs, or you may surround a photo or your invitation.

Our prices start at $45.00 for freeze drying in a Keepsake Ball or $115.00 in a Flower Shadowbox. It is also very simple to ship, just follow these instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOUR FRESH FLOWERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY US WITHIN 2 DAYS FOR BEST RESULTS. PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.
