Questions
What if my wedding has already passed?
If your wedding or special event has already passed, skip the deposit and shop your preservation on our shop page. Please note we have a $400 minimum. Head to checkout with your order and we will follow up with detailed packing and shipping instructions to ensure your flowers reach us safely.
How long until I get my order?
Orders take about 8 months to complete. During peak wedding season (May-October) there may be longer turnaround times due to an increase in volume. We work in a first-come-first-serve basis unless your date is reserved ahead of time.
Each preservation is carefully handmade and materials locally sourced.
What can I expect?
Each preservation is 100% handmade and carefully crafted so imperfections and small bubbles are often unavoidable. Drying flowers in silica sand is the best way to preserve the florals natural beauty.
Color changing is to be expected. All colors will darken, whites will ivory, and light pink may appear duller. Your bouquets' original beauty is preserved and carefully crafted into keepsakes to cherish for a lifetime.
Can I display my piece in direct sunlight?
It's best to keep your preservation away from direct sunlight to ensure the longevity of the resin. Continually exposing your resin preservation to direct sunlight can cause dulling or ambering.
Will my flowers look exactly as they did when they were fresh?
Fresh and dried flowers look different and therefore will not look exactly as they did when they were fresh. At Bouquet Casting Co we dry our flowers in special absorbent sand, this is the best way to preserve each flower in their natural shape with the least amount of color change.
Still some color changing is inevitable with certain flowers.
How long will my piece last?
A lifetime! Expect your pieces to age with you and continue the story. Colors may fade over the years.
Can I preserve artificial flowers?
Yes! However some artificial flowers may not press into frames.
Can I design my own piece?
Yes! You can send your florals to us or custom order pieces using our inventory of flowers. You have full control to customize your own design any way you would like!

How do I ship my
bouquet to you?
Head to our Packing & Shipping page for step-by-step instructions to pack up and ship your flowers to our studio safely. We've had brides ship their flowers from Hawaii to Philadelphia. Shipping your flowers is more a battle against time than any problems that could arise from the shipping process.

Certain lillys can become translucent in resin. We recommend Color Restoration for large white lillys, antheriums, and some tropicals.
What do you do with the leftover flowers?
