Customer Expectations
At Simply Forever, every piece we create is handcrafted using real flowers. Because flower preservation is both a natural and artistic process, we want to set clear expectations to ensure the best experience possible.
Natural Variations
Flowers are living, natural materials. During preservation, some changes in color, size, or texture are normal and expected. These variations are part of what makes each piece unique and cannot always be controlled or replicated exactly.
Artistic Process
Each design is created by hand and arranged artistically to best showcase your flowers. While we welcome inspiration and preferences, final layouts are at the artist’s discretion to ensure the highest quality result.
Color & Appearance
Some flowers may darken, lighten, or become more muted over time. Color correction may be available as an add-on, but results will still reflect the natural characteristics of the flowers.
Resin & Air Bubbles
Resin is a handcrafted medium, and small air bubbles or micro-bubbles may naturally occur during the curing process. While every effort is made to minimize bubbles, their presence does not affect the durability or quality of the piece and is considered a normal part of resin work.
Recreated Bouquets
Bouquet recreations are inspired by photos and details you provide. While we strive to capture the overall style and color palette, exact replicas are not guaranteed due to flower availability and seasonal variation.
Timeline
Preservation is a slow process and typically takes 3-6 months depending on the product and time of year.
Shipping & Handling
We are not responsible for damage caused by delayed, improper, or mishandled shipping. Following our shipping instructions helps ensure the best possible outcome.
Final Sale
All items are custom-made using your flowers and are considered final sale. Because of the personalized nature of our work, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges.
Care & Longevity
Preserved flowers should be kept out of direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture. While designed to last, all preserved pieces may naturally change subtly over time.
Communication
We encourage open communication throughout the process. Please reach out with any questions before ordering—we’re always happy to help guide you.
By placing an order with Simply Forever, you acknowledge and accept these expectations as part of our preservation process.
