After my flowers are freeze-dried, will they look exactly like they did when they were fresh?
The majority of the flowers we freeze dry look extremely close to the original; however, some flowers are hybrids and will freeze dry back to their original color. In these cases, we have no control of the effect of the freeze-drying on those particular flowers. In such cases, we paint the flowers as close to the original as possible. As a rule, our customers have been more than satisfied with the finished product. Freeze drying is the absolute best method for preserving flowers and maintaining their original shape and color.
How long will Flowers Forever Inc. hold my flowers?
Flowers Forever, Inc. will hold your flowers no longer than six months from the time that you are notified that the freeze-drying is completed and your frame is selected.
