FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I have gathered some of the most frequent questions I receive to help make your experience here as smooth and lovely as possible. If there is something you are still wondering about, feel free to get in touch - I am always happy to help.

~ How long do dried flowers last?

When cared for properly, dried flowers can last for years. Over time, some natural fading may occur (especially after the first year), but keeping your florals out of direct sunlight and in a dry space will help them stay beautiful for longer. If they get a little dusty, use a hairdryer on a cool, low setting to gently blow the dust away.

~ Do you use any chemicals to preserve your flowers?

Not at all. I never use dyes, bleach, or preservation chemicals. Every bloom is naturally dried—each stem hung upside down in a dry, airy space, left to transform slowly and beautifully in its own time. I believe in keeping things simple, honest, and kind to the earth.

~ Where do your flowers come from?

Most of the flowers and foliage I use are grown right here at my home in West Gippsland, Victoria—tended with care in my garden and flower patch. Occasionally, if I am short on something or it is out of season, I will source from fellow flower growers in Gippsland. Supporting local flower friends and sustainable practices is close to my heart.

~ Do you take custom orders?

Yes, I love bringing your ideas to life. If you are seeking something for a special occasion, a thoughtful gift, or simply something that brings joy—please reach out to discuss how we can create it together. 

~ Can I include a gift message with my order?
Yes, absolutely. If you are sending a gift, I am happy to include a handwritten note or personalised swing tag for the recipient. Just leave your message in the notes section at checkout, and I will make sure it is included with your order.

~ How are your items packaged?

All items are thoughtfully and securely packaged using eco-conscious materials where possible. I aim to make unboxing feel special, while also treading lightly on the earth. Each design is cushioned carefully with tissue paper to protect the products integrity during transit.

~ Do you offer wholesale or stockist opportunities?

I am open to select wholesale partnerships and stockists who align with my values. If you are interested in stocking My Foraged Life creations, please reach out—I would love to hear more about your space.

~ Do you make wedding flowers?

Yes, I offer bespoke dried floral designs for weddings and elopements, including bouquets, buttonholes, flower crowns, and venue styling pieces. Dried florals are perfect for lasting memories and can be kept long after your special day. Reach out early so we can plan something beautiful together.
