Preservation Process

The preservation and framing process will take a minimum of 4-6 months from delivery of the fresh flowers to receipt of your finished product.  Completion of your flowers may take longer depending on seasonal demand.  I won't sacrifice the quality of your arrangement for time to ensure you have a piece that your treasure.

In order for flowers to be in best working condition, they need to be delivered within 3 days of your event.  Flowers will be worked with in the condition that they are received.  The sooner and fresher the flowers are when received, the better the flowers will be able to be preserved.  Dead, dried, or browning flowers cannot be pressed. Inquiries more than 3 days after an event will need to provide a picture of the flowers for evaluation and consideration.  Wedding bouquet drop-off must be scheduled before the wedding if preservation was booked ahead of the wedding.

Many flowers will change colors naturally in the drying process.  Color change is unpredictable given the organic nature of flowers.  Browning may occur.  I do not use dyes to adjust or alter the color.  For example, some pinks tend to turn purple; reds tend to darken to a burgundy.  Colors cannot be guaranteed to be the same as they were when they were fresh.

Over time, your flowers will fade and change.  This is natural, as they are organic material.  For the longevity of your arrangement, keep out of sunlight and humid or temperature-fluctuating locations.  With proper care, your flowers will remain beautiful at all stages of their lifecycle.

The best flowers will be used for your arrangement.  Due to the time invested and the inability to guarantee results of all leaves and flowers, you will not receive back any unused pieces.

You will receive an image of your arrangement for approval before it is glued in place.  If you would like your flowers rearranged, I am happy to do so.  Rearrangements will cost an additional $25 each.  If I do not hear back from you in 5 days, I will proceed with gluing the latest arrangement and send out your invoice.  Please note that the arrangement may change slightly during the gluing process.  Final arrangements will be scanned into my portfolio and may be used for display or marketing purposes.  The likeness of an arrangement may be recreated.

Framing

Preserving your flowers is the most important part of this process, but how you choose to frame your flowers will affect how you see your flowers on display for years to come!  Your flowers will be arranged and glued on white watercolor paper and framed in a locally made hardwood frame. Your flowers are not permanently sealed within your frame, so you do have the ability to reframe your arrangement in the future, but please know that I work with frames that have depth to accommodate the thickness of your arrangement.

Flowers vary in thickness.  Not all flowers can be pressed to a thin enough level for framing, but I do take all measures possible to accommodate all of your special flowers.  My frames are locally made and designed to accommodate extra thickness.

Payment

I accept payment via cash, check, Venmo (@Lexi-EriksonTF), and credit card.  A $100 deposit is required to book your arrangement.  If you are booking in advance for a wedding and your event date changes, your deposit can be transferred to a different date, schedule availability permitting.  In the event of a cancellation, your deposit will be refunded if you cancel no less than two months before your event.  Remaining payment is due 14 days after your invoice has been emailed or at pickup, whichever comes first.  Late fees may apply.

Due to the custom nature of this product, returns and refunds are not accepted.  Arrangements not paid for or picked up three months after completion will become property of Trykket Flowers.

Shipping

The primary focus of Trykket Flowers is to serve Sioux Falls, South Dakota and the surrounding area.  This allows for flowers to be dropped off in person to guarantee their freshness.  Receiving a shipped bouquet will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Trykket Flowers will not be responsible for a bouquet that is not received in workable condition or lost in transit.  A bouquet being shipped should either be overnight or two-day shipped to Trykket Flowers and follow provided shipping instructions.  You will need to provide me with the tracking number for your bouquet shipment, and I will send you a picture of your flowers upon delivery.  All shipping and handling costs will be at the customer's expense.

Pricing

Prices are subject to change.  You will lock in pricing upon completing your booking.  Any changes made to your order will be subject to the current price listings, not prices listed at the time of booking.  

If you are interested in framing and arrangement options different from my provided options, please inquire!  I try my best to accommodate your requests, though please understand that some may not be doable.  Variations may result in other charges.  Your final price will include applicable sales taxes.  A $100 deposit is required to book your arrangement, and your remaining payment will be due 14 days after your invoice has been emailed to you or at pickup, whichever comes first.  Late fees may apply.
