Unique preservation options
Katrina K. Horrible Experience
Upon finally receiving my product I was very disappointed with the quality and look. I took the time (and paid a hefty fee) to overnight my bouquet of white and blush roses so that they would remain preserved and not dry out. Kelsey’s team even confirmed that they arrived in great condition, so imagine my surprise when my bouquet arrived back to me brown and dried out. I chose the resin option over the pressed option because I expected the flowers to look preserved, not dried. Examples of Kelsey’s work on her website show the resin flowers in good condition, not at all resembling the dead arrangement that I received.
Overall I’m sad and disappointed that something as special to me as my wedding bouquet turned out not at all how it was advertised. This company really needs to take a look at how they approach customer service, as this was the worst experience I have ever had.

Nightmare! Avoid at all cost!
This has been an absolute nightmare, and I am appalled by the unprofessionalism and incompetence. I received her services as a gift from my best friend Jenny, who knew how much I desired to preserve my wedding flowers. Little did I know that this would turn into a regrettable decision.
From the very beginning, Kelsey's lack of communication was infuriating. Despite promising a completion time of four months, she constantly evaded our attempts to reach out, ignoring our messages and failing to respond in a timely manner. And the most exasperating part was that she never took responsibility for her poor communication skills.
After finally managing to get an update on my preserved flowers after six months, the outcome was nothing short of a catastrophe. The orchids in my piece appeared dead and black, very from the proper preservation technique she claimed to employ. Her excuse that darker tropical flowers naturally dry in such a manner was a lie. I took the initiative to compare her work to properly preserved flowers of a similar nature, and the difference was glaringly obvious. It was clear that she lacked the skills and expertise to handle this delicate task.
When I expressed my dissatisfaction with the piece, Kelsey had the audacity to request that I overnight her new flowers so she could redo it. The insensitivity and complete disregard for the emotional significance of this piece were utterly shocking.
Moreover, I had specifically sent her the boutonnière my husband wore, as it was the only one of its kind in the entire wedding, yet she carelessly neglected to include it in the final piece. Had she bothered to maintain proper communication, she would have known the importance of including that specific item.
After enduring over a year and a half of this harrowing experience, I finally received my piece, only to be met with overwhelming disappointment. The tray I had envisioned for serving food was riddled with flaws. A screw was missing from one of the handles, the handle and hole is misaligned as well. The gold foliage on the edges had not been sealed properly, causing it to peel off. The resin used had bubbles on the inside, indicating a lack of skill and attention to detail during the pouring process. Additionally, the pedestals on the bottom were terribly misaligned, creating an unsightly and unprofessional finish.
When I reached out to express my dissatisfaction with the final product, Kelsey had the audacity to place the blame entirely on me, citing my back and forth and claiming that I wasted her time. Her attempt to manipulate the situation and absolve herself of any responsibility is unacceptable.
The level of unprofessionalism, incompetence, and lack of regard for clients' wishes exhibited by Kelsey is unparalleled. These preserved pieces represent cherished memories from a significant day in people's lives, and it is disheartening to witness her constant failure to deliver on the promises she makes. I will be doing my own perseveration of replica flowers in the near future.
