What is the difference between freeze dried and preserved petals?

Freeze-dried rose petals are bio-degradable, light-weight, have a natural colour and are fragile. More importantly, they do not stain. These petals are colourfast for about 3 to 5 weeks provided they are kept in a dry, dark place. After this period, the rose petals may start to lose their colour. 

Preserved rose petals are also bio-degradable  but feel softer and do not break into pieces. These petals have been coloured and therefore can stain. Provided they are kept in a dry, dark place, preserved rose petals can be kept for between 1 to 2 years. After this period, the rose petals may begin to lose their colour. 

We only supply real rose petals. All our products can be stored simply at room temperature. Storage in a fridge or freeze is not necessary.

How long will the product last?

At Sweet Colours, you can be sure of receiving natural products. Thanks to the freeze-dry process you can enjoy them for much longer, even for several weeks or more. If the freeze-dried rose petals & hydrangea petals are placed in direct sunlight, they will start to lose their colour in about 3 to 5 weeks. This does not apply to our preserved roses and preserved rose petals. They are extremely colourfast because they have been coloured. These products can be kept for between 1 to 2 years provided they are kept in a dry, dark place. Only then will the preserved rose petals start to lose their colour.

Is the product still frozen when it is delivered to me and do I have to keep it in the freezer?

No! Our products can be used straight away and are dry and silky soft. It is best to keep our products in their original packaging, at room temperatures, and in a dry and dark place to ensure their long lasting qualities. Remove the freeze-dried rose petals & hydrangea petals from their original packaging 24 hours before using them so they can absorb some circulating humidity as this will give them a softer feel. (A humid bathroom can also be used to speed up this process)

If I am not satisfied with the delivered product, can I get my money back?
