The quicker your flowers come to us the better: no more than 2-3 days after the event. It is best to make a plan for delivering the flowers ahead of time. We take limited orders a month, so reaching out to us here (inquiry form), before the event is best! 

Shipping your flowers to us couldn’t be easier. We send detailed step by step instructions on how to do that. You can also deliver your flowers to our home studio in Cardiff by the sea, CA, Mon- Wed, 9am-2pm by appointment only. We also pick up and deliver in the San Diego area for a fee, the fastest and safest, hustle free delivery to us.

Yes, absolutely! We love creating pieces for home décor and gifts. If you have an idea of flowers you’d like, we can source the flowers and frame them. Be sure to check our online shop too!

At the end of your event, place the flowers in water & store them somewhere cool. If possible, ask your florist to avoid using preservative spray on your flowers. Be sure to grab a centerpiece too. You can drop off the flowers at our studio in Cardiff by the sea, CA or ship them to us. After reserving here we send easy to follow shipping instructions.

Couples are so appreciative to be gifted their preserved sentimental flowers! If you’d like to gift the couple a gift card or order their custom piece, please inquire here before the event.

Top-quality craftsmanship is never rushed, but we are proud to say we have probably the fastest turnaround in the industry. Our floral pressing takes up to 2 weeks. After flowers are pressed, we work on composition. You will receive an email with mock-ups of artistic composition. Once settled on a final look and picked your desired wood, we will begin framing. The whole process takes approx. a month. If you have any questions please reach out to us here . During peak wedding season, (Spring /Summer / Fall)  allow additional time for completion due to high volume. A ton of care & detail goes into each frame!

Framed flowers if properly cared for last decades! Direct sunlight and UV light must be avoided. Because the flowers and the process are natural and organic, please expect natural fading of color and browning over the years. We only naturally press the flowers and do not chemically treat them, the change in color is organically expected. Know that the colors will continue to change. We at Flora and the Sun love how this reflects age and the passage of time.

Certain flowers such as Calla lilies, some types of white roses, lisianthus, sunflowers  will not press well and will not fit in our frames. If your bouquet is mostly bulkier flowers, flowers in mostly white palette please reach out before sending your flowers so we can evaluate. 

We would love that! As long as proper credit & linking is provided to photos taken from our Instagram or website. 

Flowers that have been dried out for months or years, unfortunately can not be pressed.  We suggest you work with a local florist or use our florist who can recreate your memorable bouquet and we can preserve.
