BEHIND HOW WE:
MAKE THE MAGIC
MAKE the MAGIC
Preserving magical moments is what we do best and because it includes attention
to every detail as well as patience, this is a process we never rush.
Due to such, we ask for a minimum of 3 months for your magical moment preservation to be ready from when your blooms are recieved
by us and as long as 6 months in some cases. Your preservation artist will be in communication with you every step of the way.
Wander through the resin floral preservation services we offer, ask us any questions and place your preservation order online. Once the time has come for your blooms to be transported to us, refer to our 'Packing and Shipping Guide' to get us your petals in the best shape possible. We'll be sure to gather all we'll need while we await your magical blossoms.
CHAPTER 1:
MAGIC PREPARATION
WHISPER YOUR WISH & GATHER THE MAGIC

We'll be sure to gather all we'll need while we await your magical blossoms.
A crucial step in the magic making process is drying your blooms. We achieve this by delicately surrouding your florals with silica gel in an air tight container. This chapter unfolds over the course of a few weeks and begins the day we recieve your florals.

NURTURE NATURE
KEEP THE MAGIC AGLOW

CHAPTER 3:
CAST the CREATIVE CIRCLE
ALIGN THE STARS & STEMS
Once your florals have been fully dried out in silica gel, they are carefully taken out. Each flower is then given a little love by ensuring all the gel has been removed from the petal layers and possibly given extra care to make it suitable for the resin pour if needed. This can include adhering a flower back together or color correction. This is the chapter where your preservation aritst will begin to reach out to you in regards to any updates about your preservation status as well as design concepts. They will send over a few recommended design options for the shape and style piece you selected, allowing you the ability to suggest any altercations that would make your magical moment preservation even more enchanted. A more specific time frame will also be provided to you.

CHAPTER 4:
WEAVE the SPELL
This chapter tells the story of the magical moment preserving stage finally beginning. After you and your preservation artist decide on a design concept, the resin phase takes shape. A thin layer of high-quality, deep coat resin is poured into your desired mold shape, then your design is placed upon this layer, which keeps the design's placement in tact. Over the next couple weeks, layer by layer, your magical moment becomes more encased in resin until your piece has fully taken shape. Updates during this stage are common and if any issues arise, you will be notified.
