Florist/Preservation Artist truth: working with one type of flower alone is hard! It takes a little extra creative power to fill gaps and make things look full. I’m so pleased with how these pieces turned out and love the way the blue shines in the resin! Hydrangea are such a happy, albeit fickle flower! As the name indicates? They are very fussy without water and will show you their displeasure, often coming to me in a droopy fashion, (their protest against dehydration no doubt!), but with a little gently care, they come back and lift their delicate heads for you!
What do you think?!

We’re baaaack!
If you missed it, I’ve been out of the country for about 2 weeks. Italy was an absolute dream come true, and such a personal experience, being in the land that my family came from! Today is my first day back in the shop, so it’s going to take a little time to get my bearings again lol. I’ll be getting back to emails this week, so thank you for your patience as I get back to everyone!

Did you know that I also offer crosses? They’re kind of a “secret menu” item right now, but are always available upon request! I love this shape but especially love this mold for funeral or memorial pieces.
What do you think? Should I officially add it to my shop? Are there any other shapes you’d like to see added?

No filter needed on this baby!
Colorful bouquets are always so much fun to preserve and man, do they pack a punch when the light sparkles off the casting!
Just a friendly reminder that this is the last weekend that I’ll be able to accommodate last minute orders for the next 2ish weeks, as I’ll be out of the country! If you’re a 10/5 bride, and haven’t booked your spot yet, I do have just a couple more spots available for that weekend!

Pro tips for keeping your flowers beautiful for preservation:
- KEEP THEM IN WATER
We see this a lot among vendors that are handling your bouquet, like photographers and planners, and we get it! It’s a busy day and everyone is running around, but in order to keep your flowers as happy as possible, they need to stay in water! Your vendors truly care about you and your day, so if you know that you’re planning on having them preserved, just make@sure to let them know how, extra important, it is to keep them in water.
- TREAT WITH CARE
As said above, we get that there’s a lot of hustle and bustle on wedding day, but treat your flowers with as much care as possible! Instead of doing a bouquet toss with the flowers you’re going to have saved, opt for a separate, smaller, bouquet. Rough handling can cause damage to the cellular walls of the petals that is only visible once submerged in resin. This is called bruising. Minimize the risk of transparent spots in your pieces by handling your flowers with care on your big day!
- DROP OFF ASAP
We always say that flowers save best when they’re fresh! By the time they make it to wedding day, the have already been off the stem for several days, in most cases. We always recommend dropping your flowers off to us within 48 hours of your event, if possible, in order to adding any more days on to their life cycle. Keep in mind that once they make it to us, they do still undergo a rehydration time frame as well to get them looking their very best before drying. This is also why we require orders to be set up prior to drop off: different pieces require different methods of drying, and when the clock is already ticking, we don’t want to waste time trying to go back and forth to figure out pieces. It’s quickest to receive your flowers and be able to go right to work! This is always why we recommend:
- SHIP EXPRESS
For all of our out of town girlies, that have to send their flowers to us- ship overnight! This ties in to the points above: We want to lessen the impact on your flowers- as far as rough handling, temperature shock, water loss, etc, to get them safely. Follow our shipping guide!

Just a little cutie for ya today! This is one of my most popular shapes and it’s easy to see why! I love the contemporary shape and how more of the sides are perfect for catching the light! What do you think?

It may be fall (can’t tell me it’s not!), but it’s bright and sunny out here! Especially from the view of this ✨stunning ✨ 9” hexagon!
I’ve been busy busy over here, working on getting your beautiful keepsakes out, but somehow kinked my neck on Sunday and have been out of commission for the last couple of days. (Hooray for getting older! Lol 😆)
I’m getting back to emails as I can but appreciate your patience in the interim as I work on regaining the ability to turn my head 😂.
Just a reminder! 🚨
I will be out of the country from 10/6-10/18, so spots for the weekend of 10/6 are extremely limited, and I will not be able to accommodate last minute orders during that time frame! If you’ve been on the fence, I’d encourage you to book asap, before spots fill up! Have more questions? Head on over to the website to submit a contact form, and let’s chat!

What we love about this set? Everything! But especially the large hexagon. I don’t know about you, but I like unusual things, things that are a little less conventional, and this hexagon sure is unique!

Some important things to know about design proofs:
💐 Design proofs are an approximation. Things sit differently once anchored into resin. Sometimes there’s more room to add in a flower or two, sometimes it looks a little crowded and some need to be taken out. It’s not a guarantee that each and every piece will be placed exactly, but more of a preview of the overall style of the piece. Big flowers will still be in the middle, with smaller flowers filling in, just like your bouquet, and in the spray shape. 🙂

💐 I do not allow micromanaging of the design. Piggybacking off of the point above, things may change slightly once in resin. Additionally, this is a commissioned piece of art. While it is a service in the sense that the materials provided are being transformed, you are having a custom piece of art made- it’s going to have the artists creative “fingerprint”- that’s why you chose your artist: because you like their style! Furthermore- dried flowers are extremely fragile and brittle, additional handling can cause damage to your special flowers and impact the final piece.

💐 We give a 48 hour time frame to make sure orders aren’t held up on waiting for a reply, risking prolonged exposure to air and moisture. If a conversation is ongoing, we’ll continue to communicate, but if no response is received, you piece will be cast as shown.

💐 Just like always- your flowers are going to change! The thing about working with nature is that we have almost no say in how your flowers dry. If they are on the down-swing when we receive them, they may dry showing some brown. The color will change! The drying gel is sucking all of the moisture out of your blooms, accordingly, this is going to have an effect on the coloring. Keep in mind that they may also look different still, once in resin. For example, bruising is completely invisible to the naked eye until the blooms are in resin.

Here’s your sign to celebrate your forever love, by having your wedding flowers turned into initial keepsakes! Fun fact- we also offer the “&” symbol in a large letter block!

Your flowers are going to change color!
It’s just the nature of working with… well, Nature! Lol.
There are so many factors that come into play with how your flowers will come out of the drying gel, and how they do in the resin, including:
💐 How fresh they were when they got to me (which goes as far back to how fresh they were when they arrived at the florist),
💐 Time out of water during your big day,
💐 How much handling they had,
💐 How much they were jostled and bumped
💐 Particular species and subspecies of flower that they are, and numerous other niche circumstances that impact their overall health!

While some color outcomes can be predicted to some extent, just based on experience, we never guarantee the way your flowers are going to come out of the gel or do in the resin, because we can’t control nature! If you have concerns or want to get a reasonable expectation of the range that your flowers could come out, don’t hesitate to ask!
There are so many factors that weigh into this process as a whole, and the important thing to remember is to be flexible. Read our website and FAQs and familiarize yourself with potential outcomes and delays! This will ease the stress on your end, and ours! ☺️
Thinking of having your flowers saved? There’s still time to book! SPACES ARE LIMITED FOR OCTOBER, so get those dates saved!

Peep this amazing bouquet! This one was very exciting, as it’s the first bouquet I’ve ever gotten that had fresh herbs in it! It was so fragrant and beautiful, and I think it turned out pretty darn well! What do you think?

Product spotlight!
This is the small ring holder. It’s the perfect little kiss of floral perfection! These little babies are great for filler flowers and very small florals. They don’t hold much but they are a sweet little way to have pieces of your special day, around your home!

Just a pretty pink arrangement on this rainy day!
If you got my out of office, then you already know, but for the rest of yall- I was out of the country last week! If you sent emails or messages please be aware that I’m working on getting caught up this week and will be with you shortly! Wishing you all, a wonderful week!

It might be hard to tell, but these roses were huuuge! This big, beautiful bouquet made so many beautiful pieces. When your bouquet had very large flowers, like big roses, sunflowers or lilies, it’s a good idea to size your block up! One of these huge roses would have filled a 6” block entirely and only two would fit with room in an 8x8. Not sure what size you might need? Shoot us a message for help!

Secrets out!
Ornaments are one of our most popular add ons, and it’s no surprise why. These beautiful pieces allow you to celebrate your special day- all year long!
Due to supplier trouble, we started using for our ornament molds, which we LOVE. The downside is that these are just a bit bigger than our old models, SO, if you have already booked and saved your date, you are all set and locked in at 2023 pricing rates. If you’re a new bride or client, pricing for our beautiful ornaments will be going up, beginning in June! Want to lock in better pricing? Submit our contact form now to get your date saved!

One bouquet made all of this!
It’s a question we get often: how many pieces can I have my flowers made into? While it’s often difficult to give an exact estimate, as florists build different sized bouquets, one bouquet can often accommodate several pieces. If you’re able to, it’s always better to send a little extra- like a couple of bridesmaids bouquets too, or a centerpiece, so that enough flowers can be saved from your special day, and that the best looking ones can be selected! If you haven’t booked yet, there’s still time to save your date for the 2024 season!

Nothin like a sunshiney kind of day to show off this stunning piece! I can’t get over how beautifully the colors look in the daylight. Did you know that the average depth of our blocks are about 3”? This is perfect for your usual large flowers, like roses, Lillie’s, sunflowers, etc. however, if you have something extra large and extra special that you’d like cast, we may need to explore different options, including ordering a special mold that’s deep enough for your vision! These are very important things to let us know when it comes to dropping off your flowers, in that email, so we know which items you care most about!

My favorite way to view your special keepsakes will always be in natural lighting! There’s something so magical about the way sunshine just shines through the crystal clear resin to really show off the beauty of God’s handiwork! 😍
This block was such a joy to cast and I hope you guys enjoy it too!

Just another sweet little hexagon for yall!
What’s the best part of the preservation process for me? The demolding! It’s like Christmas morning every time I get to pop a finished piece out of the molds. It may need some additional finishing, but there’s such a feeling of satisfaction when I finally get to peel away the silicone and hold the items I’ve just created, for the first time!
Know someone getting married this year? Send em my way! I still have availability in my 2024 calendar!
October brides: space is limited in October, so book now before it’s all filled up!

Bright colors are always so much fun to work with. It’s wild how I can tell the local florists apart by seeing their work and construction. Just like floristry, there is more than one way to preserve your special flowers. We’re partial to resin over here, but whether you decide to select resin, or shadow boxes or pressing- it’s important to make sure that you like your artists signature style. Just like florists, each artist has their own, unique perspective on how they create. If you don’t like that, and think that you’re going to be able to ask them to do it differently, then you’re not going to like what they prepare for you. Find someone, who’s creative flair, you love!

Another beautiful set delivered!
When planning your wedding flowers, and considering preservation, it’s important to remember that they will most likely change color. Different species will change differently. If you’d like a better idea of how your flowers will look after dried, reach out to us with the list of flowers planned for your arrangements and we can try to provide some insight!

This block may look a little small in the photo, but trust me, it was HUGE! The 12x12” block is a great way to save the majority, if not, all of your special bouquet! It’s easy to see how much of a stunner this piece is, packed full of all the elements that made up this gorgeous bouquet! You may also notice the different shades of white- this is a great example of how white flowers, from species to species, will dry differently!

Ornaments are one of my most popular items, and it’s no mystery why! They are another way to incorporate your special flowers in your annual celebrations! They are also the only items that we press flowers for. What does this mean in terms of your bouquet? While your large flowers, like roses won’t entirely fit, petals are utilized to capture the different elements of your bouquet, along with smaller flowers that can be pressed and included in their entirety.
Pictured are all three ornament sizes we offer- large round, scalloped, and mini!

Can we talk about faith? I took the leap to rely on my business income along with a little income from a part time job and let me tell you, it’s so scary. This last month has been an exercise in faith and trusting that God will provide. As a control freak it’s been so stressful to believe and be faithful. I am so appreciative to everyone that has liked, commented and shared my content. It’s such a small way to help but it’s honestly meant so much to me. Keep praying for me yall! ❤️ #godprovides #kcwedding #weddingflowers #bouquetpreservation #resinartist #smallbusiness #mustardseed

Gifting Done Beautifully

Lavender Ducky Designs came about in early 2019 when I, Miranda, was looking for beautifully curated gifts for my bridal party, but having a hard time finding something that was truly me, without costing a fortune to customize. A little, “I’ll just do it myself” determination and some creativity, a lot of networking and growing, and here we are now: devoted to helping clients curate the perfect gifts that are heartfelt and reflective of their personality and style.

Welcome.
