| What is freeze-drying? Freeze Drying is the state-of-the-art method of flower preservation. The Freeze Dry machine slowly extracts moisture from fresh flowers at extremely low temperatures. Moisture leaves the cell as ice crystals, leaving the flowers shape and size intact. How soon do I need to get my flowers to you? Your flowers need to be processed as soon as possible. The fresher the flower the better the finished keepsake will be. How do I care for my flowers before delivery to Elegant Petals? As soon as possible mist the top of your flowers with water and place in a vase with water in it. You can place the flowers in a refrigerator but please cover them loosely with a plastic bag to help keep the petals from getting frozen. PLEASE REMEMBER DO NOT FREEZE YOUR FLOWERS. How do I get my flowers to you? We offer a local pick up service, which allows you to enjoy your reception without worry. Elegant Petals will pick up within a 2 hour window directly from your event. This will allow us to process your flowers and start the freeze dry process. How long will my flowers last? Freeze dry flowers will last a long time if you take care of them. Remember they can not be exposed to direct sun light and high humidity. |
