🌻What are "Preserved Flowers"?🌻

Often, when people see our creations, they inquire: "Are these real flowers?" "Will they never wither?"

Allow us to provide a brief introduction to Preserved Flowers~ 😊

Some refer to Preserved Flowers as "永生花" in Chinese, while in English, they are known as "preserved flowers."

In fact, the technique for crafting preserved flowers was invented by the French in the 1990s, later introduced and refined by the Japanese. Today, it's quite common in Japan, and its popularity has been gradually rising in China over the past few years.

The process of creating preserved flowers generally involves several stages: "decolorization - dyeing - drying."

During the peak of their blossoming, the flowers are dehydrated, then immersed in a coloring solution containing a lubricant, allowing the flowers to naturally absorb the dye. Finally, they are dried to completion. The entire production period takes approximately 1.5 months.

So, the answer to "Are preserved flowers real flowers?" is: "Yes!"

Due to the special crafting process, they retain the softness and moisture of fresh flowers. However, unlike fresh flowers, they can be admired for a long time without the need for watering. Typically, they can be displayed for around 2 years, and with proper care, they can last even longer, surpassing 3 years or more in suitable conditions.

Additionally, since the flowers are dyed, they can showcase colors that aren't naturally found in fresh flowers! Preserved flowers, flowers that never wither~

❣️ Considerations for Floral Materials ❣️

• Natural floral materials are not plastic flowers, so each flower may vary in shape and appearance. Please consider this before placing an order.
• The images depict the flowers received in their untreated state. Upon receipt, you can gently unfurl and bloom the flowers. They may expand by 1-2 cm during the blooming process, so handle them delicately.
• Each flower is securely fixed in its shell with a large pin to ensure perfect protection against flattening.
• Moisture from preserved foliage may stain other floral materials. Remember to store them in a dry place!
• It's recommended to use wire wrapping for leaf materials!

🌻 Preservation Guidelines 🌻

• Firstly, it's crucial to avoid moisture, as it significantly reduces the lifespan of floral materials and may encourage mold growth. Ensure proper ventilation.
• Try to shield the artwork from direct sunlight, as intense sunlight can cause the flowers to fade and crack.
• The longevity of floral materials depends on the care provided by the owner. Additionally, slight fading is normal over time.

🌻 Regarding Color Variations 🌻

• The floral materials are photographed indoors, under natural sunlight or indoor lighting, rather than in a professional studio or with specialized lighting.
• Each batch of flowers of the same color may have slight variations.
• Due to differences in lighting and computer screens, there may be color discrepancies between the product and its depiction. While efforts are made to match the product with reality, it's best to base color accuracy on the received item. For customers with extremely discerning tastes and perfectionist tendencies, please consider your order carefully.

❣️ Friendly Reminders ❣️

• Natural floral materials grow organically, so they aren't 100% perfect. Please consider this before placing an order.

👍️ Dried plants are delicate and prone to shedding, which is unavoidable.

👍️ Each bouquet varies in shape, size, color, thickness, and quantity.

👍️ Natural plants have inherent odors; please accept this before placing an order.

👍️ Leaves naturally develop small black spots, white spots, or dried areas.

📦️ Shipping Information 📦️

When shipping via convenience stores, the floral materials will be trimmed to fit the packaging size. They will be carefully packaged before shipping, but some shedding may occur during transit, which is normal. Your understanding is appreciated.
