If you're holding onto a bouquet you don't want to let go of — a wedding bouquet, flowers from a funeral, blooms from a birth or a birthday you don't want to forget — "how much does this cost" is usually the first question. Here's an honest answer, plus what actually drives the price up or down.

Two different starting points

There are really two ways to get a preserved flower piece from Leah Lane Flowers, and they're priced differently.

Ready-made pieces — the bowls, trays, and trinket dishes already in the shop — are preserved from hand-picked flowers and priced the same as any other product, with the price shown on each listing depending on size and style. These ship right away since they're already made.

Custom pieces made from your flowers — a bouquet, memorial arrangement, or garden blooms you mail in — are quoted individually. There isn't a flat rate, because the price depends on a few things that change from order to order.

What actually affects custom pricing

  • The actual flowers. Some flowers are simply more expensive to work with than others — roses, for example, cost more than daisies.
  • The wood piece. Size, weight, and whether it's hand-carved all factor into the price.
  • The resin. I use a high-quality, low-heat resin that reduces yellowing over time and produces less heat while curing, which protects the flowers — that quality costs more than a standard casting resin.
  • Everything else that goes into production. Sanding, protective gear, silica gel for drying, and shipping all add up behind the scenes.

For context, professional flower preservation across the industry commonly runs anywhere from about $150 to $700+, with resin work often starting around $400–$500 for larger, more involved pieces. Where any individual order lands depends entirely on the specifics above — which is why Leah Lane Flowers quotes each one rather than posting a flat number that wouldn't really apply to most orders.

Turnaround time

A custom piece takes about eight to ten weeks from the day your flowers arrive. Your flowers have to dry completely before I can design around them, and that step can't be rushed without costing you the result. If you have a date in mind — an anniversary coming up, a gift deadline — reach out early so we can plan around it.

How to get an actual number

Reach out through the Contact page with a bit about your flowers — roughly how many, what kind, and what you have in mind (bowl vs. tray, rough size) — and you'll get a real quote back, along with shipping instructions for sending your flowers in safely.

If you'd rather skip the wait entirely, browsing the shop gets you a one-of-a-kind piece, made from real preserved flowers, ready to ship now.
