The Process
Book Your Spot
To get started, reserve your spot on our schedule. This helps us plan for your flowers and ensures we’re ready when they arrive. You don’t have to know exactly what piece you want yet, we’ll guide you through the options later.
Safely Send Your Flowers
Fresh flowers need to arrive quickly (ideally within 1–3 days of your event). We’ll give you packing tips and can provide a FedEx overnight label. If you're local to the Omaha/Council Bluffs area, pickup is available too (for a small fee).
We Dry & Prep Everything
Once your flowers arrive, we begin the drying process. This step can take 4–6 weeks, depending on the flower type. We take extra care to preserve color, shape, and integrity — no shortcuts.
Design & Layout Approval
You’ll get access to a client portal where you can see layout previews before we pour the resin. This is your chance to give feedback and make sure the design feels right before we lock it in.
Pouring & Finishing
Once you approve the design, we begin the resin pour. Depending on your piece(s), this stage can take 2–3 weeks to complete and cure. We only use high-quality, UV-protected materials that last.
Pickup or Delivery
Once your piece is finished, we’ll coordinate delivery or pickup and share care instructions so it stays beautiful for years to come.
