Preserve Your Wedding Memories: A Guide to Shipping Your Flowers

 

 

At That Lady Heather, I am passionate about transforming the beautiful blooms from your wedding into exquisite resin art, allowing you to cherish those precious memories for years to come. Your wedding day is filled with unique moments, and I’m dedicated to helping you preserve the essence of that special time through stunning floral preservation.

 

For clients on Bowen Island or in the surrounding areas, I offer convenient personal pickup options that typically yield the best results. However, I understand that some may need to ship their flowers. If you find yourself in this situation, please follow these thoughtful instructions to ensure your flowers arrive safely and beautifully, ready to be transformed into a lasting keepsake.

 

Why Choose Resin Flower Preservation?

 

Using resin to preserve your wedding flowers creates one-of-a-kind pieces of art that capture the beauty and emotion of your special day. Whether it’s your bridal bouquet or a bloom that holds special significance, these flowers can be turned into beautiful, timeless keepsakes that tell your unique love story.

 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Shipping Your Wedding Flowers

 

1. Timely Shipping

After your wedding, please aim to ship your flowers within 1-2 days. Prompt shipping is essential for maintaining the flowers’ vibrancy and integrity, ensuring that your cherished memories are beautifully preserved in resin.

2. Select Your Most Treasured Flowers

Choose the largest and hardest-to-find flowers that hold special meaning for you—perhaps the bloom that made you smile or a flower that symbolizes a particular moment of your day. These will be the focal points of your resin artwork. To account for any potential damage during shipping, please include a generous quantity of flowers, allowing me to create a stunning composition that reflects your story.

3. Preparing Your Flowers

Trim the Stems: Cut the stems to approximately 6-8 inches in length.

Remove Unwanted Foliage: Take off any leaves that will be submerged in water to prevent mold and ensure optimal preservation.

4. Hydration is Key

Before shipping, place your flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh water for a few hours. This simple step will keep them hydrated during transit, preserving their natural beauty and ensuring they arrive in the best condition possible.

5. Choose Your Drying Method

Air Drying: If possible, bundle small groups of flowers with rubber bands and hang them upside down in a cool, dark place for a few days.

Silica Gel: If you have silica gel available, placing your flowers in a container filled with it can expedite the drying process.

6. Careful Packaging

Sturdy Box: Use a strong box to protect your flowers during shipping.

Secure the Contents: Fill any empty spaces in the box with soft materials such as tissue paper, bubble wrap, or cotton to cushion the flowers and prevent movement.

7. Choose a Reliable Shipping Method

Select a courier service that offers tracking, ensuring your flowers arrive quickly—preferably overnight or within 2 days.

 

Mailing Address

 

Please send your flowers to:

Heather Doherty
957 Windjammer Rd, Bowen Island BC, V0N 1G2

 

8. Stay Connected
