Q. What type of flowers can Janelle Keogh’s Floral Designs preserve?
A. Our preservation process allows us to preserve all flowers. However, some flowers do preserve better than others. We recommend you view our gallery and look for similar flowers to what will be in your bouquet. The better condition the bouquet is on arrival, the better finished result we can give back to you. So it is important to read the "Pre-Preservation Flower Care" page.

Q. How does my bouquet fit into the frame?
A. When we receive your bouquet, we take a photo. Then we will dismantle your bouquet for the preservation process. Once preserved, we re-colour, re-create your bouquet, cut the mats and build the shadow box frame. Your bouquet will be in 3 dimensions, but not as deep as it was on the day.

Q. A couple of the flowers in my bouquet are bruised. Can it still be preserved?
A. When we preserve your bouquet we preserve all the blooms. Re-colour all the blooms, and use the best of your blooms to re-create your bouquet. If your bouquet requires a few replacement flowers we will let you know.

Q. Will my flowers look fresh?
A. The preserving process we use, allows us to preserve flowers to look as fresh as preserved flowers can look. Keep in mind, the better the condition your bouquet is in when we receive it, the better the preserved bouquet we can give back to you.

Q. Will my bouquet turn brown in time?
A. We re-colour your bouquet so if in the future the natural colour fades, your flowers will still look good. We do recommend you follow our hanging instructions (these instructions are on the back of the framed bouquet).

Q. Will my bouquet be the same colour?
A. Flowers are like people, they contain a lot of water. Once preserved they will be a little darker. We do re-colour the bouquet as close as possible to its natural colour. For example red roses will become burgundy and white roses will become ivory.

Q. What will it cost to have my bouquet preserved?
A. You determine the price, depending on the frame you choose, the size of the bouquet and any additional memorabilia you choose to add. The starting price is $380 with in studio specials. The average bouquet preserved and framed is $450. We recommend you view the "Framing Options & Pricing" page for more details.
