HAND CRAFTED IN CAMBRIDGE, NZ
How it happens!
From wedding bouquets to special occasion flowers, these flowers get sent or dropped off as soon as possible, the fresher, the better!
Once received, these flowers are individually placed into silica gel to preserve. This process takes at least 14 days to complete depending on the type of flowers.
Once preserved, they are then arranged into a beautiful setting and cast in resin. This process is done slowly and in small layers to take as much care as possible. Each layer is left to set, and then another layer is poured until the final stage is completed.
This process can take up to two weeks, depending on the final desired depth and result.
Once this is all set, the casting is ready for you to pick up or have couriered back to you. All of this process is hand done and your piece is hand crafted, there will be minor bubbles and faults that cant be stopped completely - all care and detail is taken to create a unique piece that captures the special memories.

Advice on Flower types and colours.....
Gosh the choices are endless aren't they when it comes to flower types and colours. Which is perfect to achieve the look you want. Some bouquets might be determined by what is in season or what is commercially grown in the area.
If you are looking at getting your flowers preserved and cast, speak with myself or your florist to get the best advice and outcomes. Smaller blooms are more versatile when it comes to casting, but that does not mean the larger protea's or peonies can't be cast, normally they require the larger size blocks.
Resin will naturally age overtime with exposure to UV light, with a yellow tone, to slow this down a high grade resin is used and instructions included on how to best care and store your piece.
