Can you guarantee that my preserved flowers will maintain their original colorWe cannot guarantee that your flowers will maintain their original color, especially soft / muted tone flowers, as all flowers will fade in the dehydration process. Flowers that we do not recommend for preservation include succulents, chrysanthemums, asparagus fern, and Anthurium. However, most other traditional wedding flowers preserve well. At Vintage Flower Box, we strive to uphold the natural beauty of each flower while preserving them to the best of our ability. If you have any specific concerns about the preservation process, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team for more information.

How should I care for my flowers before I hand them off to you?Bouquets are generally out of water for a full day, so whenever you can remember to drop it in water, do! At the end of the night remember to place the flowers back in water & store somewhere cool. Be sure to grab a centrepiece too as those flowers are in water all day and hold up better!

How long will my flowers last?Like any natural product, care is needed to ensure the durability of the flowers. Many factors will play a major role in how long your flowers will last such as the amount of sunlight, humidity, and heat that the frame is exposed to. These factors will determine its lifespan.

Do the flowers change in colour?Yes. All flowers that are preserved will change in colour, white flowers will become creamy and some soft pinks become light grey. some colours, especially red flowers, will become a little darker. Over time some flowers may become more antique in appearance, especially dark to mid pink, peach, white and yellow flowers. We can not guarantee that your flowers will maintain their original colour or dyed flowers such as orchids as all flowers will fade in the dehydration process. Flowers that we do not recommend for preservation include succulents, chrysanthemums, asparagus fern and Anthurium. Most other traditional wedding flowers preserve well.
