Caring for Your Flowers
Your flowers may be made from paper or felt, but the beauty of them is meant to last.
Every Melly Meier Botanicals piece is thoughtfully handcrafted, with attention to the smallest details. With a little gentle care, your everlasting flowers can remain a beautiful part of your home for years to come.
Keep them dry
Paper and felt flowers are happiest in dry spaces. Avoid water, high humidity, and damp environments to help preserve their shape, texture, and color.
Find the Right Light
Display your flowers where they can be admired without prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Just like textiles and artwork, handcrafted colors may gradually fade when exposed to strong UV light.
Dust with a Gentle Touch
A soft artist's brush or clean makeup brush is perfect for removing dust from delicate petals and leaves.
For more intricate arrangements, a hair dryer on its coolest, lowest setting may help. Keep it at a safe distance and use a gentle touch.
Handle with Care
When moving or arranging your flowers, support them by their stems or base rather than pulling on individual petals or leaves.
Some stems can be gently repositioned, but avoid repeated bending or forcing delicate components into new shapes.
A Little Care Goes a Long Way
Unlike fresh flowers, your paper and felt botanicals don't need watering, trimming, or replacing. Simply give them a thoughtful place to live and enjoy their beauty season after season.
With thoughtful care, your flowers can remain a meaningful part of your home or celebration for years to come.
