Care Instructions

General Care & Storage

Preserved flowers, and particularly greenery, do not like very low or changing temperatures, nor high humidity.  Products should never be watered or get wet.

 

Placement

Products are intended for indoor use only.  We recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight, cold draughty positions, and away from humid environments like bathrooms

 

Leaking

On occasion, when exposed to certain conditions, preserved products can ‘leak’ from the leaves and/or stem ends, so please be careful and keep away from fabrics and furniture that could get marked.

The materials used for preserving products are all natural and vegetable based.

 

Handling

Preserved products are surprisingly robust and versatile but should always be handled with care to avoid crushing and bending of leaves and stems.  

Continuous handling can result in some dye transfer and stickiness which can be washed using household soap or detergent.

 

Cleaning

Care needs to be taken when cleaning.  Leaves and stems can be wiped clean using a slightly damp cloth of tissue, if required.  For removal of dust, we would recommend using a hairdryer on a cool setting, or a soft cloth.

 

Display

Preserved flowers and greens can be used in many ways – bouquets, vase arrangements, traditional arrangements using dry foam, green panels, and so many more.  Just be careful to consider positioning

 

Longevity

In the right conditions, preserved flowers and foliage can last for up 3-5 years or more, however the vibrancy of colours is likely to fade over time

Testimonials

“We have worked with Atlas for 4 years and wouldn’t order dried flowers or sundries anywhere else. Their selection of dried flowers is by far the best in the U.K. — we love the variety of colours and flowers available.

The team at Atlas are highly professional and friendly, nothing is too big an ask. Orders always arrive punctually and the flowers are always packed with love and care ensuring no breakages during transport.

Atlas have also been open to ordering in new products specifically for us if there is something they don’t stock. It goes without saying we highly recommend using Atlas for any of your floral or sundry needs.”

"At Florence and Flowers we specialise in making bespoke wedding arrangements using dried flowers.

Quality is the number one thing that we look for from our suppliers and for that reason we use Atlas Flowers time and time again. The quality of their dried flowers is excellent, as is the speed of delivery and their willingness to source additional colours and flowers when we receive requests for custom designs.

Atlas Flowers are a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend!"

“I have ordered from Atlas over the last 3 years and I am delighted with the quality of the faux range for my many installations on Guernsey. The flowers look so life like it is hard to tell they aren’t real. The delivery and service is fantastic.

The dried range is also very good and the home wares section is gorgeous - I have ordered many a vase for my own home.

I cannot recommend the team at Atlas highly enough”
