Question 1

How long do dried flowers last?

Accepted Answer

On average dried flowers last one to two years. If they are taken care of,  they can last for many more seasons. It is important to handle your dried flowers with care. They become more brittle as they age.

For longer lasting flowers, please keep them in the storage box while not in use. Our boxes have will help keep moisture away from the flowers. Moisture can cause dried flowers to change color, lose shape, and in some cases get moldy. 
Do not keep in sunlight because this increases the natural decomposition process. Store them in a cool place indoors. Extreme temperatures will make the flowers more brittle.

Question 2

How should I store the dried floral crowns and floral jewelry?

Accepted Answer

To extend the life of each product, you should store it in the original box in a cool, dry and dark place. This will also help keep the dust off the petals.

Humidity can build up on the dried floral and cause molding. We add a small silica gel packet in each of our boxes to help keep any moisture out.

Direct sunlight and heat will increase the breakdown of the dried flowers.

Question 3

Will the flowers keep their color?

Accepted Answer

Most dried flowers will loose their color as they age. Overtime, the colors can look washed out.

Preserved and died flowers will keep the color for a longer period of time. Died floral may leak the color if it has gotten wet or absorbed moisture. If this happens, lightly dab excess moisture off the flowers and let them dry in a cool dark place.

Question 4

What is the difference between dried flowers and preserved flowers?

Accepted Answer

Dried flowers have been specifically processed to remove all moisture. This is the most natural process. Dried flowers will break down faster than preserved flowers.

Preserved flowers have been processed to retain a specific percentage of moisture to maintain flexibility. This process allows the flowers to not be as fragile.

Question 5

Helpful hints for flowers to wear.

Accepted Answer

Dried flowers have gone through a natural process of removing the moisture. This allows the flowers to be kept for years to come. In the natural drying process, the flower becomes more fragile. It is important to handle your product with delicate hands.

Flower Crowns: Our flower crowns are made to be adjustable for head sizes and hair styles. Place the crown on your head and tie the ribbon in the back to a comfortable size. You  can wear your crown low on your forehead, higher up in your hair line or as a headband. If needed, use u- shaped bobby pins to secure if needed. Regular bobby pins may break some of the flowers. If your crown gets wet, dab with a soft tissue to remove excess moisture, blow dry on the lowest setting and cool temp or let your crown dry out of sunlight and extreme temps before putting it back into its box.

Flower Rings: Your ring is adjustable for your comfort and allows you to wear it on different fingers. The dried flowers can break and shatter when it is bumped. You will want to remove your ring when putting on your coat or other clothing that would brush against the ring. Dried flowers also do not like moisture, so remove your ring while washing your hands. If your ring gets wet, dab with a soft tissue to remove excess moisture, blow dry on the lowest setting and cool temp or let your ring dry out of sunlight and extreme temps before putting it back into its box.
