Event Already Happened

• Ordering After the Event – It’s not too late to preserve your flowers, even after the event has already happened! Sentimental Preservation handles pre-planned, last minute and after-the-event orders!  Design decisions can be made after we’ve preserved your flowers.
• Caring for your Flowers~ You’ll want to care for your flowers as sweetly as possible to ensure their beauty prior to Sentimental Preservation receiving them, here’s how:

Hydrate those flowers if possible.  If your bouquet is contained inside a bouquet holder made of plastic, fill the spongy green foam inside the plastic handle with water  -- simply hold the bouquet under a gently running faucet for a few seconds.  Shake off any excess water that may have dripped onto the bouquet holder or the flowers during this step.  If your bouquet is hand-tied, as most are these days, unwrap the ribbon from the bottom a bit and cut the bottom of the stems off by about ½ inch.  Place the bouquet in a tall drinking glass and add just about ½ inch or inch of warm water to the glass.

~Put your bouquet into a cool, dark place or cooler~

If you are transporting the flowers to me you’ll want to put them in an ice chest.  Cover the flowers loosely with a plastic bag, blow air into the bag and tie tightly around the stems.  Because bruising causes the flowers to brown, delicate handling can help minimize the damage to the flowers.

Please feel welcome to call 360-763-2965 with any additional questions you may have.

Many beautiful memories to you on your special day!
