​How I work

I offer a bespoke service to every customer and happy to guide you through every step.
Below is a quick overview with some steps on how I work and what to expect with links to help you along. 
Do not be shy and contact me if you have any questions.

Step 1 : Get in Touch! 

♥ You wish to preserve your flowers from a special day, special occasion, special gift, funeral keepsake. So what do you do. Firstly, call, email or fill out the contact form here – I require your contact details and event date to book you in unless you have your flowers.
When I contact you, to book you in, a non refundable booking fee of 25% of the total product cost will be required to secure your booking. This amount will be deducted from the balance at the time of final payment. When you get your flowers, put them in a cool place, a refrigerator is perfect. For more in depth detail, pop over to the Flowers T&C/ FAQ page here.

​♥ I love to discuss your choices, ideas and specifications with you, either on the phone, email or video call.

♥ My customers love to add their personal items, so talking it through with me to make sure I can create the perfect keepsake is important to me.

♥ Package up your flowers (please see details on how here) and post your flowers to my address, which is Alchemist Designs, Galbolie, Bailieborough, Co. Cavan A82 RW10.  I have uploaded a packaging label here for you and an Order Form which is required, ready to download. The Order Form is required and will need to be printed out, filled in and sent to me in your package. 

Step 2 : Preservation Process 

♥ Once I have received your flowers, along with your order form filled in and signed, I start the preservation process straight away and make in depth notes of your flowers.

♥ I dismantle the bouquet or flowers sent to me carefully by hand if needed.

​♥ Please note: The preservation stage can take up to 6-8 weeks to complete before the next stage.

​Step 3 : The Next Stage

♥ If applicable the remaining balance is taken at this stage. I accept bank transfer, postal order or a link is sent to your phone for card transfer. 

♥ When your flowers are ready, I get to work on the next stage, adding liquid, items, flowers carefully into the shape you ordered. If you would like to be part of the process, let me know. I can send you photos or videos to enhance your excitement and you can truly connect with this experience. 

This stage can take between 6-20 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of your requirements and seasons. I will however give you an estimated completion date once you have chosen your items.

​Step 4 : Your Finished Product

♥ I will contact you when your items are nearing completion and if you wish, I can send you a photo image of the final product. 

♥ Making arrangements for collection or delivery with me is easy and personal to your needs. If I am posting, I will be using the details you have provided in your Order Form which has been printed, filled in and sent to me for directions. You are welcome to organise your own pickup by Courier. Let me know if you wish to do this in advance to discuss arrangements.
