rev:text	My husband and I were recently married in Maui. My mother-in-law decided to bring all of our flowers back from Hawaii, so we figured we'd get them preserved. I called around and Floral Keepsakes was the only place I could find that did flower preservation. I called, and spoke with Lisa. She seemed very nice and even offered to wait after closing for me to take the flowers as soon as possible. We took the flowers in, and she immediately said it was going to be a $200 deposit. My husband and I were shocked, as we were not expecting such a large deposit (which was never mentioned on the phone). She proceeded to explain that the deposit could go towards the arrangement. Where typically each flower ranges from $10 and up (I don't remember the exact number but you get the idea) to be preserved. We thought it was fair, so they could start doing the preserving. So we paid the $200. At this point, having not known any better, I assumed the deposit would cover the cost of the flowers. One month later we went in for an appointment where we would choose the shadow box we wanted our arrangement to go in. We searched the store high and low, and we felt everything was extremely overpriced. Now that the box was chosen, we discussed what flowers would be used. She charged a flat fee of $250 to re-create the bouquet. There was a separate charge for the leis, the boutonniere, etc. Did I mention a design fee? Well we were charged that too on top of everything else. When everything was said and done, the total was somewhere in the neighborhood of $700. We decided to take all the extra's off and just do the bouquet and have our leis laying in the bottom because of the outrageous price! No Frills. We walked out paying nearly $650. Update: Lisa contacted me directly to discuss our experience. Although we appreciate her reaching out, the main purpose of this review was not to bash her business. I just wanted people to be aware that getting your flowers preserved can be pricey, as I would have wanted to know that before I did it. I do want to give anyone doing this some advice- Budget for this, and if you don't like the display cases in the store, they allow you to bring your own (we were not aware of this). Bringing our own case could have saved us a few hundred dollars!
