Welcome to the flower guide!
In our flower guide, you will find information about color changes and flowers suitable for custom work. Please note that the use of a flower guide does not guarantee an outcome in which the colors and shape of the flowers do not change. Not all flowers survive the drying process, and not all flowers survive the drying process. Shape and color changes are a natural part of the life cycle of plants and cannot be prevented by humans. With the right choices, changes can be minimized.

Choosing flowers
The flowers should be selected according to our instructions so that the bouquet is suitable for the product you want. Below you will find a product-specific list of flowers suitable for the products as well as prohibitions.
A Versatile Outcome
A diverse outcome requires a diverse bouquet. So if you were inspired by the rich detailed layouts in our work, please take this into account when choosing flowers. A rich and spectacular result requires a bouquet of different head flowers and filling flowers, as well as a variety of cut greens. For larger jobs, we recommend cutting greens in addition to flowers, especially if it is a bouquet with only white flowers. When envisioning the end result, take into account the size of the product you choose and the size of the flowers you want to have to keep the vision realistic. More inspiration can be found not only on the website, but also on our TikTok and Instagram.
Bouquet style
The condition of the bouquet upon its arrival to us will affect the outcome. The best way to keep the bouquet as good as possible is if it is tied organically and the stems of the flowers have been kept long.
We accept bouquets built with different binding techniques and different designs. In these, it is recommended to take into account that you may have to disassemble the bouquet yourself before delivering it to us to keep it hydrated.
Heavy use of hot glue is reflected in the final result.
Color changes
For all flowers, the color of the flowers changes as they dry. This is part of the natural process of flowers dying. In our fully dried flowers, the color remains the best in general, with the most changes occurring in the press. This is because the drying technique of whole dried flowers allows the liquid to be removed from the flowers more quickly so that the color pigment of the flowers does not break down in the same way as when pressed.
The most radical color changes tend to apply to white and tropical flowers as they are more moist than the more conventional cut flowers. White flowers very rarely remain white, especially. Flowers usually turn yellow, brown, or greenish. In some cases, a white flower may have a blue tinge. Dark red flowers get a really deep red hue of almost black. In pink flowers, the color may disappear or even deepen. Dyed flowers often lose color as well as some wildflowers.
Color changes can only be talked about in general terms. The color of the flowers changes are affected by: when the flower is cut, whether the flower has been dyed, whether it has been cared for along with our instructions, how the florist has handled the flowers, how long the delivery of the flowers to us lasts, and what the weather is like. In dyed flowers, the colors may fade in whole or in part and the flower may get in whole or in part a greyish, brown, or even off-white color. Since it is almost impossible to trace the origin of the flower and find out what kind of colors have been used for dyeing, we cannot tell you which dyes change the most in the drying process.
Color changes after production
On pressed flower frames and shadow boxes, you can expect color changes during the first year if the flowers are not color-corrected (only available for pressed frames). With color correction, the flowers should remain beautiful for at least years if the frame has been kept according to the instructions we have given. Color changes can also be prevented by customizing the board with UV-protected glass. This is only possible on a pressed flower frame.
In epoxy products, flowers are encapsulated and cannot contaminate with air, so color changes occur more slowly. In accessories, color changes may occur more quickly as the flowers are exposed to UV radiation as well as moisture more often.
These flowers are most commonly thrown away
Eucalyptus: If this is the only cut-green bouquet, often most go to waste. Eucalyptus is often too large for objects and as a result, there is a great deal of it left over. In pressed products, too, eucalyptus is often left over in abundance, as it does not bring so much abundance to the work when dried.
Eustoma: The flower undergoes strong color changes despite the drying method and the changes are often unpredictable. Often, the eustoma changes whole when it is dried. For example, white eustoma may turn bright yellow, and colored ones may turn brown.
Dahlias: They are usually in a really bad condition when they arrive, which is why some do not get dried or lose their shape when dried
Garden roses: They are usually in very poor condition when they arrive, which prevents some from drying out or losing their shape when dried and/or their color when dried.
