T&Cs for floral preservation

1. Booking & Payment

1.1. A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your preservation date.
1.2. Full payment must be received before any final artwork is released or shipped.
1.3. Prices are subject to change without notice; however, confirmed bookings will remain at the agreed price.

2.1. The quality of the final artwork depends heavily on the condition of the flowers when they arrive at the studio.
2.2. Fresh flowers should be delivered or posted within 1–4 days after the event, depending on shipping method.
2.3. Flowers must arrive hydrated and free from extreme mould or severe wilting.
2.4. If flowers arrive in poor condition (e.g., browned petals, mould, rot, excessive bruising), the artist will:
- Contact the client with photos
- Proceed only with the usable blooms
- Offer the purchase of replacement blooms at cost to the client
2.5. The artist cannot guarantee that flowers in compromised condition will preserve well or maintain their original colour or texture.

3.1. By booking, the client grants the artist full artistic freedom in composition, layout, flower selection, and design based on what is viable after preservation.
3.2. Colours may naturally shift during preservation; some blooms may darken, lighten, or change entirely.
3.3. Organic matter such as insects or debris may occasionally be present inside fresh flowers and cannot always be detected before the preservation process.

4.1. All booking fees/deposits are non-refundable.
4.2. If the client cancels after flowers have been received or work has begun, no refunds will be issued.
4.3. If the artist must cancel due to illness, emergency, or circumstances beyond control, a full refund (including deposit) will be issued and flowers will be returned.
