What to expect
White florals are classic and elegant, yet preserving their beauty can be challenging. It is normal for some browning or slight color shifts to occur through the preservation process and over time, even with meticulous care. When needed, I use color correction to maintain the delicate white hues.
When preserving your flowers, it’s important to keep in mind that we are working with living materials. For optimal results, I recommend bringing your floral to me as fresh as possible. Best scenario is within one or two days after your event. Some color changes are to be expected. Colors may darken or change shades and natural fading can occur over time. This is why I choose to use color correction methods to keep your florals and greenery as close to their original colors as possible and maintain the unique details.
