Floral Preservation

About floral preservation service.

Preserve Your Floral Moments Timelessly with TalkingThyme! Hi! I am Akshata, artist and founder of TalkingThyme and I specialize in preserving flowers by drying them in different techniques to preserve the volume of the flowers into a 3D functional piece or pressing them into a frame or cutting boards to form a 2D functional art. With my 10 years of experience in drying and pressing various types of flowers and continuous experimentation and learning, I would assure you that your treasured flora would be safe in my hands and I would give my 100% to turn them into something special and conversational.  

How it works? the 3 step process

First Step

You decide if you want me to dry the flowers or you would like to dry them on your own. If you are planning to get a floral bundle over $250, I highly recommend you ship me your fresh flowers to San Jose, CA or drop them to my studio if you are local. Dried flowers are easy to ship but can be brittle and can crumble easily. So having them cushioned well using a bubble wrap or newspaper is advised. Fresh Flowers need some care during shipping as they are prone to rotting during the transit. You may refer to the video How to ship to get some tips and tricks. 20% Deposit is paid here to begin the process. This deposit is non refundable if you for any reason backout of the projects discussed.

Second Step

I will schedule a consultation call if we have not spoken prior to shipping flowers, to discuss the flowers of interest and project details to plan every piece accurately from the available flowers and leaves to finalize the bundle items or a particular project. We also discuss any personalization needed for the project.

Third Strp

I will keep on updating major steps and keep you looped in the progress. Post completion, I will ship all the projects together to you using USPS/DHL. The final amount must be paid completely for me to ship out.

Introduction video

Hello! I am Akshata and I wanted to take you through my art process and studio to showcase snippets of different processes from how the flowers are treated and turned into various projects. I am based out of SanJose, CA and I work out of my garage and my studio is always open for the locals to take a tour on appointment.

How to ship

Here is how you can ship fresh flowers to me and for dried ones, you can just wrap them in a ziplock and a couple of sheets of paper or bubble wrap and ship. If you are shipping flowers only for the Wedding Date Frame, I need just a few petals and leaves which you can ship in an envelope as well.
