Floral Preservation
There are many different ways to preserve flowers. Most people have probably taken a flower and let it dry naturally. Then I’m sure it’s not lasted any length of time without crumbling and falling apart. With the price of flowers, and also the sentimental importance of your flowers, be sure to have them preserved professionally. The fresher the flowers, the better they will preserve. Either using chemicals or freeze-drying, your flowers can be preserved for you to enjoy, for years to come. I use three different chemicals, and it takes a lot of patience and precision to details. When I receive flowers, first I take photos and notes, then every flowers is treated separately. Depending on the flower, it does take 3-6 weeks. Open flowers such as lilies or daisies take less time, more dense flowers like roses or carnations take more time. It’s basically the art of drying flowers, removing all the moisture. They do shrink in size, color can change a bit, but they are still YOUR flowers. Be sure to arrange pick up or shipping your flowers in advance. Weddings obviously are arranged way in advance, so you have plenty of time to arrange to have your wedding bouquet preserved. But then there are instances, such as a passing of a loved one, that you don’t know in advance. The main thing, is call or email to arrange the floral preservation as soon as you can. Again, the fresher the flower, the better they will preserve. Once your flowers are preserved, they need to be enclosed into something, to protect them. What helps them to last, is to keep them out of the natural elements, heat, cold, humidity, dust, etc. Now you need to choose what you want to do with them. Custom Shadowbox With a shadowbox, you can also include other items with your flowers. We custom build our boxes, so you will choose the frame style, color and size. Of course, you can have a shadowbox built for items other than flowers, sports memorabilia, etc. Just call or email for prices. I love the challenge of something new and different. Most of the shadowboxes I do are for weddings. With a wedding you can include a photo, invitation, unity candle, toasting glasses, garter, it’s all up to you. This is your keepsake, we work together to design and create the perfect shadowbox for you. Imagine a shadowbox with the outfit you brought your baby home from the hospital in, or the costume from a first dance revue. Prom items or graduation. How about a 25th or 50th anniversary. We also custom build for military keepsakes. I just received a bugle and photos from WWII, to make a custom piece for the grand-daughter to pass down to her children. We all have items in the back of a closet, in a box in the basement, that should be make into a shadowbox to display and enjoy. Glass Domes and Displays Your preserved flowers need to be placed into something. Domes are available in many different sizes. Obviously, size of the flowers will determine the choices you will have for a display. We work together, creating a beautiful display for your preserved flowers. I always have people comment that a wedding bouquet preserved and displayed under a glass dome, looks like something from “Beauty and the Beast”. The main part of my business is floral preservation, but of course, I am more than willing to create something other than floral. Jewelry made from real flowers When I started my business in 2004, I mainly did shadowboxes and displays. But in 2010, I added floral jewelry. First I preserve your flowers. Then I take your preserved flowers and create custom floral jewelry. There are so many choices of styles, it’s up to you. They are just fun with all the different colors and styles. But then, when these pieces are made from your keepsake flowers, they are even more special. Imagine, wedding flowers, memorial flowers, bringing home baby, anniversary, the ideas are endless. The jewelry is made from a special grade acrylic. Each piece is unique. Think of it with either flowers from your bridal bouquet, making a piece for yourself, your mother, mother-in-law, attendants, what a beautiful keepsake. The same with memorial flowers. To wear a piece that is made from those special flowers. I’ve even had brides have me make extra pieces, hoping they will have a daughter some day, to give it too. I always think how special it would be to be able to pass down a custom made floral jewelry piece to your children and grandchildren. Please be sure to keep checking back, I’m always coming up with new styles. Embedments or Paperweights Embedments or paperweights are made of a solid acrylic. Placing of a flower or other items inside, or embedding, creating a custom embedment for you to enjoy. With floral embedments or paperweights, the flowers are first preserved. Then depending on the size of the flower or flowers, you will be given the choice of the shape and size of the embedment you would like. This is another way to safely display your preserved keepsake flower or flowers. As stated, with preserved flowers, they must be placed into something, to keep them out of the elements in your home. Humidity, dust, heat and cold, are all harmful to the preserved flowers. With embedments or paperweights , they will last for many years. They are used like a paperweight, but depending on the shape or size, they can be put onto a display easel or even hung. This part of my business I also added in 2010, still coming up with more and more shapes and sizes. If there is something you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m more than willing to do something new.
What will you do with YOUR flowers?
Now you'll need to make some decisions. Are you going to what a full shadowbox, a dome or display, embedment or jewelry. None of this needs to be decided right now. The main thing is to get the flowers and to get them preserved. Because it takes awhile for them to preserve, you have plenty of time to decide what you want. I'm not in a hurry, it's up to you. Don't pass up the opportunity, you only have once chance to have them preserved. Prices vary from $15.00 to $250.00 total. So there is something in YOUR budget. Your flowers have a special meaning to you, why not keep them and enjoy them "Forever In Time".
Wedding Flowers
You've planned your wedding since you were a little girl. If you are going to toss your bouqet...toss it my way!!
It's so easy, you contact me before your wedding, and arrange how I will get your flowers. Depending on where you live, I do pick flowers up on Sundays for FREE in the Central Upper Peninsula or Northeastern Wisconsin. But it must be arranged in advance. If you don't live in those areas, I can explain how to ship them. I can do the full bouquet for a shadowbox or dome/display, or a few flowers for an embedment, or individual flowers for jewelry pieces. Again, budget, anywhere from $15.00 to $250.00, so it's very affordable. One of my favorite things, when I deliver a piece, is seeing how excited a bride is to be able to keep her bouquet. I've had mothers of the bride or groom, show me their flowers that had been preserved years before. I even had a grandmother show me her flowers. How amazing will it be to pass down your bridal bouquet to your daughter/son, and even down to a grand-daughter/son in years to come. That is an amazing keepsake, that will become a family heirloom.
I love the option of the jewelry pieces. It is so easy. You simple send me a few flowers, think of the colors. You want to send at least one flower of each color. Then you pick the style you like, and I make you a pendant. Then imagine wearing your pendant, having someone ask what it is...to tell them it's actual flowers from you wedding bouquet. It's such a perfect gift for the Mother of the Bride, or Mother of the Groom, your Maid of Honor, your attendants....everyone will love it. I even have brides have me make extra pieces, for when they have children. Think of the daughter you have someday....and you have her wear a pendant made from YOUR wedding bouquet at her wedding...as "something old". It gives me goosebumps just thinking of it. Again, please don't pass up the opportunity to have your bridal bouquet preserved and turned into a special keepsake. There are so many things to choose from.
Funeral Flowers or Memorial Flowers
This part of my business means so much to me. When I started my business in 2004, part of the reason was because I had lost my father, and I wanted to keep flowers from his funeral. I knew because it was so important to me, it would be to others too. And I wanted to be able to give that remembrance to them. Flowers from a funeral have very special meaning. It is a very personal keepsake, and we work together to make a special and unique piece. When I first began, and would be at bridal shows, I'd end up with someone in tears....stating they wished they had heard of floral preservation when they lost a loved one. When I can take these very special flowers, and make a piece that I know means so much to you, I can't express what it means to me. I know with the flowers I have from my Dad's funeral, just about every day, as I see them...it might be just touching them, or seeing them....and they bring me such a warm feeling...and the memories along with it. Please allow me to do this for you.
Special Occasion Flowers
There are so many occasions that we receive flowers. Be it the birth of a child, prom, graduation, birthday, anniversary....anything....you can have them preserved. I love the idea, when you have a baby, and the "Daddy" gives you flowers....have a jewelry piece made...or do a shadowbox with the flowers, and the outfit you brought your baby home in. Then with school events, be it sports memorabilia, or first dance revue, prom and graduation. Then from there, it can be 25th or 50th wedding anniversary. There are so many options....you just need to think of them.
Heritage or Sports Keepsakes
From memorbilia from a special vacation, your favorite sports team, heritage/antique pieces, or even military keepsakes...turn them into a special shadowbox. We custom build the shadowboxes, so they can be made to fit anything. It doesn't have to include flowers. Any of these special items need to be "preserved" and displayed properly. So many of use have items in a closet, in the basement or even in storage....that should be on display. I really try my best to keep the price affordable....just contact me for an estimate. You will be so glad that you finally do something with these items. And again....imagine passing them down to your children and even grandchildren. You will be glad you had it done, and more important....so will they.
Who is Forever In Time
Me, Tammy Harris. I started the business, it's me picking up flowers, preserving the flowers. It's done in my home, basement and garage. I don't send the flowers out, so they are safe. My husband builds my shadowboxes, and helps enclose them. I make the embedments. I design and make all the jewelry pieces. It's all me. That's why I'm so proud of what I've done and what I do. It's taken alot of trial and error to perfect what I do. I keep trying to come up with more ideas and options. This is my full-time job....and I love it. When you call or email, it'll be me that you talk to. So you won't be a number, and talk to a different person each time you call....it will be me. I work with each customer, designing and making what works for you. I'm not a huge business, and not the most high-tech....but it works for me...and hopefully....for you.
