After The Wedding or Event is Over…How do I Keep My Flowers Until I Can Get Them to Frosted Floral Memories?

1.    After the dust begins to settle after your Wedding or event is over, that night, you need to take your flowers over to the sink and allow a slow stream of water to flow into the middle of your Wedding Bokay only if your wedding flowers were designed in a plastic bouquet holder with “oasis” ( a special floral foam that holds water).  Maybe your flowers have their stems attached to your flowers ( a lot of florists have special tricks of the trade and the natural stems are not often attached!) and the stems become the handle.  In this case, just put the stems in a container of water, including the ribbon and/or the handle decorations.  This will not hurt the handle decorations.  Don’t forget the Grooms Boutonniere even if it is damaged a lot!

2.    Mist the flowers with a little water and place them in a clean plastic bag large enough to cover your flowers.  Do not make it too tight.  Your flower will re-hydrate through their petals such as wilted lettuce that has been misted with a little water and in a plastic bag.  The lettuce re-hydrates and becomes crispy again!  Your wedding flowers will do the same thing.

3.    Put your event flowers in a refrigerator!  NOT the Freezer!!!  Our freeze dry preservation experts are the only ones that can freeze your flowers.  Just make sure where you place your flowers that they are not in the small spot where the milk might freeze.  Do not place the flowers there.  Call us at toll free 1(877)421 5610 or email our preservation experts at preserve@frostedfloralmemories.com ASAP!!!

If your Wedding or Event happened on Saturday…just keep your flowers in the refrigerator until Monday.  We do take Sundays off to worship!  Your flowers will be perfectly happy…actually the extra day gives your flowers an extra day to re-hydrate. 

If your destination, that first night is in a Hotel…try to remember to pack a plastic bag with your overnight bag so you can do the above steps in your room, then take your flowers to the front desk and request the Hotel to place your wrapped Wedding Bouquet in their coolers until you can contact our freeze dry specialists.  We know florists say you cannot mix flowers with food, but we are also experienced florists since 1961 AND freeze dry specialists since 1991 and with our experience with so many bouquets we should know best!

·        Our very best recommendation is to delegate the above process to a family member or friend!

Eight Simple Shipping Instructions!

1. It is simple to ship your flowers to our freeze dry preservationists at Frosted Floral Memories.  Find a box that will be about 3” bigger, all the way around your Wedding Bouquet.  If you don’t have a box handy, just take your wrapped bouquet to your nearest U.S. Postal Office, U.P.S., FedEx etc, …they will have a box for a small fee that will fit your flowers.
2. Gather crumpled newspaper, peanuts or packing material and place in the bottom 3” of the box.  Place your wrapped wedding bouquet on top of the packing material.  Poke 2-3 small pencil shaped holes in the plastic so your flowers can “breathe” but small enough so your flowers will keep moist or hydrated.  Finish filling the box on all four sides and cover your flowers on the top.  Do not pack the packing material so tightly that you crush your flowers.  We just want to keep your flowers from moving inside the box even if the box turns in many directions during shipping.
3. Enclose an envelope with your name, address, phone number, email address and a check for $100.00 down payment.   If you have a PayPal Account, click on the “PayPal Deposit” button below. Seal the envelope in a ziplock bag or small plastic bag so it will not get wet during shipping.   
4. Seal the box with package tape.

5.  Write “Fragile Flowers” on the outside of the box with magic marker.

6. Ship your flowers next day or 2^nd day delivery from the U.S Post Office, U.P.S., FedEx, etc. to:

Alice Burgin@ Frosted Floral Memories

21615 42^nd Drive NE

Arlington,Washington 98223

7. Call our expert freeze dry consultants at our toll free number, 1 (877) 421 5610 as soon as you have shipped your flowers so we can watch for them!
8. When our highly trained freeze dried specialists receive your flowers, we will call you immediately to let you know we received your flowers and the cost.

We will send you an itemized receipt of the exact cost…then you can rest assured your precious flowers are in expert hands.  Enjoy your Honeymoon and in about 3 weeks, call or email our freeze dry consultants to discuss how we are going to display your “keepsake flowers” and the cost.

P.S.  Putting a “Special Spray” (re-hydrator) on your flowers or putting ice packs inside your shipping box is just NOT necessary!!!  We have been receiving flowers across the Great United States for many years now and found flowers ship perfectly, if you follow my “Care of your Bouquet after the Wedding” instructions.  Adding ice packs to the box actually crush and damage the flowers more and the ice packs also add to the weight and cost to ship your flowers.
