Facts & Questions About Wedding Flower Preservation:
How far in Advanced must I book?
I suggest booking with me as soon as you can. I will take a $150 nonrefundable Retainer Fee to secure the Wedding Date as far as a year in advance. Scheduling is required like all other Wedding Vendors. As of 2024 Vixen Hollow Arts DOES NOT accept Wedding Flower Preservation Inquires with LESS THAN 30 days’ notice before the Wedding or inquires made immediately following the Wedding. Advanced Scheduling MUST be made for Wedding Flower Preservation. Reach out now to start the booking process. CONTACT – Vixen Hollow Arts

Is there a minimum spend requirement for Wedding Flower Preservation?
Yes! Vixen Hollow Arts had a $500 Minimum Order for Wedding Flower preservation. If you order a 6″ square priced at 450 as your main blocking piece, one add on item will be required to bring up to minimum total to $500.
How does Payment work when Scheduling?
When you book with Vixen Hollow Arts, a $150 nonrefundable retainer fee is paid that secures your spot in my commission line for your Wedding Weekend to drop off your Bouquet to be dried and preserved. The Balance of your Order will be Billed at 60 days prior to the wedding. 30 days are given to pay the remaining Balance of the order less the retainer fee. Payment in full is required by 30 days before the wedding. Once Payment in Full is received I can start ordering and prepping supplies to intake your flowers in 30 days. After I hear from you via CONTACT – Vixen Hollow Arts I will email you back an application for Bridal Bouquet Preservation.

How soon after the Wedding does the Bouquet need to arrive in Ellsworth?
Honestly, the sooner the better. The sooner I receive the flowers the quicker I can start processing them for drying in silica sand. 24-72 hours is the window requirement I give my Brides for drop off. So, if the Wedding is on a Saturday, the best day to get the Bouquet to me is on Sunday 24 hours later. The Fresher I receive them the better the florals look in the preservation piece. The last day you can drop them off to me is Tuesday morning. 72 Hours after the Wedding Day.
I am close to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor Maine on Mount Desert Island. I am located not Far from Bangor Maine. Ellsworth Maine is between Bar Habor Maine and Bangor Maine. I am the only Preservation Artist in Resin within 2 hours of Acadia National Park. Perfect for local drop off for Destination Brides in Maine.
Please Note: As of 2024 Vixen Hollow Arts is not accepting mailed flowers, this policy is being reviewed over winter 2024-2025 and may likely change for 2025 Brides. However, if I do allow shipping, Local Brides are still highly Suggested to Drop Off whenever possible to ensure lack of handling and bruising on flowers.
How Long does it take to Preserve my Wedding Bouquet in Resin?
It’s not a quick process. Expect a 5–7-month turnaround time for the Preservation Peice from drop off to pick up. Lots of steps are involved from drying to layout to blocking sanding top coating and polishing. If you are curious to learn more see the Blog Post below.

How long before I get to approve my layout design?
About 60 days after the wedding, give or take a few weeks, you will hear from Vixen Hollow Arts with Layout Designs. See Blog Post for Layout Design Options. Once Bride tells me what style I am aiming for I will email or text you with multiple layouts as I am working with the dried flowers. You can also opt in for a 15-minute video call to help me live with the layout before I start Preserving in resin. I highly recommend scheduling a 15-minute video chat live.

Can I change the size of my Block once I book with you?
Yes, you can upgrade after booking and drop off. During Layout Design if you choose to upgrade your Floral Preservation Piece from 6′ Square to an 8″ Square/Hexagon, I will invoice you for the difference in price. 48 hours will be given for client to make the payment on an upgraded size. Once Payment for upgrade is paid in full, I will begin Preserving the approved upgraded size & design layout. Layout Design is the absolute last time you can add a color back drop or upgrade to a larger size preservation or add more add Ons like Floral Ring Holders or Floral Votive Holders.
Do I have to pick up my piece in person?
I do highly suggest local Brides with larger pieces like 8″ Hexagons to come and pick up in person. Shipping costs are more expensive than gas these days when you’re local. However, shipping is entirely possible. The client is responsible for all shipping fees and will be billed for the shipping cost at the end if they choose not to pick up. Prices do not include shipping on my floral preservation pieces.
What if I have already dried flowers from an event years ago?
Yes, I can preserve air dried flowers. There is a larger chance of micro air bubbles with air dried flowers and the flowers will look more vintage in the preservation piece and less alive than when I dry flowers myself. I use a different method to dry flowers. There is no discount for previously dried flowers and the $500 minimum order still holds.
Did I see you on the local news?
Yes! I was lucky enough to make ana appearance showing off Wedding Flower Preservation in Resin to WABI TV5 Studios in Bangor Maine. Logan Hoffman interviewed me. See the Tape here on WABI’s Website: Wabi Craft Corner: Vixen Hollow Arts and on MSN WABI Craft Corner: Vixen Hollow Arts (msn.com)
