How many flowers to send
When sending your full bouquet, only a small selection of flowers will be used to create your piece. Any remaining flowers will be recycled, unless requested otherwise.
If sending part of your bouquet, please send a minimum of 3 stems of each variety of flower/foliage you would like preserved. The flowers in the best condition will be used in your commission. The more flowers to choose from the better!

How to package up your flowers
1) Firstly trim the stems if you feel brave enough, a couple of cms will be fine!
2) Carefully wrap only the bottom of the stems in water soaked kitchen paper covering 1-2 inches of the stems should be plenty. You can either wrap a few stems individually if you prefer.
3) Secure the kitchen towel by wrapping bubble wrap, cling film or a plastic sandwich bag tightly around it. This will help prevent the petals from getting wet, which can cause rot and mould to grow on the blooms.
4) Place the flowers in a plastic container and cushion carefully with dry kitchen paper, newspaper or bubble wrap. This should keep the flowers in place.
5) It is advised that you send via tracked or recorded postal service to ensure safe delivery of flowers.
6) Please advise Wootique Preservation when you have sent the flowers, and provide the tracking number if you have one, so that the delivery can be monitored
Important Note: Please check the postal address prior to sending any flowers, to prevent deliveries being posted to the incorrect address
