They are easily the most environmentally friendly floral option!
The flowers are soft, but can harden if not prepared properly. We use a glycerin-based solution to ensure flexibility and the soft texture of each flower. Our dying method ensures full coverage while creating similar natural character observed in fresh flowers.
They last forever! For the best results, it is important to properly care for and store your flowers. The flowers are made of natural plants, so if they are left stored in an enclosed area, they can mold. Make sure to store in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight.
The flowers do not have a natural scent, but a scent can be added to your flowers if you wish! Adding a scent is another fully customizable option available for your flowers. Fragrance is added with an essential oil solution and will not damage the structure or color of your flowers.
