Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mail you my flowers?
Great question! Please read our Mailing Instruction Page for details. It is best to remove all the flower petals from the stems.  We will not use any of the stem or greenery (unless requested) so you do not need to send them. All flowers should be mailed in a manila or paper envelope or a box.  It is very important that flowers are not placed in plastic as they will mold.

Will the Rosary Beads turn black?
No, our rosary beads are not 100% rose petal beads.  We use other ingredients which help maintain the color and durability of the bead.

How long will it take to make my rosaries?
Due to the time involved making flower petal rosaries our processing time is estimated at 3-4 months. 

Will the rosary smell like roses?
All of our flower petal beads will have a scent, which will eventually go away; depending on how fresh the flowers are when we receive them. You may rub a small amount of rose oil on the beads or inside the case to get a stronger rose smell. If you want us to add the rose oil for you just right it on your order form!
