C) We pride ourselves in the knowledge that we preserve all flowers to the best of our abilities, but cannot take responsibility for any poor results due to the flowers being of not 100% excellent quality upon arrival to our studios.
D) We always endeavour to make contact with every client via email/letter or telephone to make awareness of how the flowers will preserve and the appearance of these after preservation.
E) All flowers that we accept and preserve become 100% of our property until all fees applicable for preserving etc. are paid in full.
F) Some flowers may change slightly during the preservation process and some colour changes may occur through the moisture extraction process flowers can turn darker or lighter shades;
Red – turns a darker red/burgundy
Cream – turns a darker Cream/beige
Pink – turns a darker shade or lighter dependant on the varieties.
As our paperweights are spherical – any objects as well as flowers, such as jewellery etc. – this will magnify as well as the flowers in all of our paperweights so this should be considered when ordering.
Paperweights/3d preservation Section

White/cream flowers can turn slightly transparent.
Red/Burgundy flowers- Pink/peach can have a silvering on the outer petals.
Small and fragile foliage may become loose in the paperweight.
H) It is at the designer’s discretion as to which foliage we deem most suitable for your paperweight decision.
