Has anyone used Keepsake Floral?

[UnderTheMistletoe]

Hey Girls-

I was wondering if you'd used Keepsake Floral for bouquet preservation? Is it as easy as they claim it to be for Disney brides (ie, drop off at the front dek and forget about it until they call)? Were you happy with the final product? What type of display did you choose? Did you have anythign else added into the display (ie, invitation, cake topper, gloves, etc)? Do you have to pay high shipping rates?

Thanks!
xoxo

I used Keepsake Floral and I was very happy with the final product. I paid about 700 for my display and it is beautiful and something I am so happy I did every single day. It was easy I dropped off the bouquet at the desk and forgot about it until the rest of the trip. I called when they told me to call to set up an appointment to talk to a designer. After talking to the designer they did what I asked. We did not add in an invitation or anything like that but we did have DH boutenierre in it.

We too used keepsake floral for our engagement. Dan had written a very sweet poem to me and had it done in calligraphy on beautiful paper. He had it in a botle (message in a bottle lol!) and flowers left at the hotel room. It was so easy. Akl took our flowers and put them in their fridge until keepsake came and picked them up. Then when we got home we sent the rest of the stuff and picked our set up,frame and fabric. It came out beautiful. I will see if I can take a few pics......now that's not to say it is cheap!

I decided the morning after my wedding that I wanted it preserved. In my flower box there was a pamphlet for Keepsake Floral, so I did everything it said. I left the box at the Grand to be picked up, and called and left a voicemail for them. Their voicemail says to leave a message and it will be answered.

When I returned home a week later I hadn't heard from them and my credit card wasn't charged so I called KF. They didn't know a thing. They ended up calling the Grand and my flowers were still there, in the managers refrigerator! I was fuming! I told the lady that their voicemail said it would be checked and she kept apologizing but said it would be fine. "Sometimes bouquets don't get picked up for 2 weeks," she told me. I was shocked.

But anyway, my flowers came back beautiful. So I guess my point is, that no, it wasn't easy for me. I don't think you get what you pay for, but they do a good job.

Dereka...I am sorry that happened to you. You would think for all that money? geez! Well I almost puked when I found out the price of this but my fiancee insisted...so here it is. I do love it because we really only have one pic from the moment he proposed so this is a nice memory!(sorry the pics aren't the best)

Pixie08 - that really is so beautiful! Bet your so glad you kept it.

I agree these things are expensive but somethings have so much sentimental value!
