FAQ - BOTANICAL PRESERVATION
-
WE LOVE…
preserving flowers + creating a bespoke heirloom piece of art. We love a variety of color. Varying textures and elements, airy and light. Your frame will hang in your home for years to come as a sweet nod to your day.
Floral preservation is a slow art form and a ton of time and attention to detail goes into each frame. Because of that, KEPT studio only accepts a few commissions a month.

WE LIKE TO AVOID…
arrangements of only one type or color of flower. All white flowers have the highest chance of browning and so we don’t accept arrangements with mostly white/ivory/blush/light colored flowers.

Mailing + dropping off your flowers
If you're not local to NYC or don't have time to drop off flowers to the Fort Greene Studio, you can ship your flowers to us! [We send detailed instructions on how to properly ship your flowers!]
If you're local you can schedule an appointment to drop your flowers off, 9am-2pm. Or send the flowers over via Uber or Lyft [you can select the “package” option and put the flowers in the car without having to travel yourself.]If local to NYC, in some rare instances, for an extra fee, there may be a pick-up option, where someone from KEPT studio picks up the florals from the event and transport them safely back to the studio.

Design & Framing
Your flowers will be pressed for up to two months. We will then send you photos of a variety of design compositions in the signature thoughtful & rhythmic KEPT studio style for you to pick from.
Because the preservation process is a slow process & can’t be rushed, frames can take up to 4-5 months to complete.
