Custom Order Request

Crafted with real pressed florals, placed in wood, and covered in epoxy resin. Versatile and stylish, it is ideal for jewelry, soap, keys, and other items.

This is for a Custom Order Request form. Photos are examples only and are not a guaranteed product. This does not constitute a purchase of any item. Please read the entire description below: 

LIMIT ONE PER PERSON

Please keep in mind that custom orders can take 4 or more weeks to be finished (not include shipping time). If you have a time restraint, please include in the form below and I will see if it's a timeline I can work with. Please note that timelines may extend based on availability of supplies.

Please contact customs@darkwhimsy.com with any questions or concerns. 

Please make sure to add the best form of contact for your custom order. The quicker I can get ahold of you, the quicker the process will go. 

Once your Custom Order Request has come through, I will contact you via email with details, pricing, and an Invoice for a 50% deposit. The deposit MUST be paid within 24 hours once an amount is decided on. 

Things I will not do:

- A copy of someone else’s work. Please don’t ask me to do this! I would hate it if someone did it to me.

-Something that just doesn’t feel like my style. I will do my best to recommend another person if this happens.

Time:

The time frame will depend entirely on the request. Please keep in mind that custom orders can take 4 or more weeks to be finished (not include shipping time). If you have a time restraint, please include in the form below and I will see if it's a timeline I can work with. Please note that timelines may extend based on availability of supplies.

• IMPORTANT: Timelines for wedding floral preservation can take 3-6 months as flowers will need to be completely dried in silica prior to setting in resin. 

Pricing:

Pricing will be based on the request submitted. Please review my website for general pricing of pieces. Prices will be slightly higher for Custom Orders. If I have enough information from the request placed, I will respond with an invoice of the total amount. If I need more information, I will email asking for more details (this may extend the timeline, so please include as much detail as possible). 

Things to include in your Custom Order Request:

IMPORTANT: All pieces will be set with a black resin background and will be exclusively placed in wood. For wedding floral preservation, I do not utilize silicone molds to create full resin pieces such as arches, hexagons, hearts, etc. 

• Budget with and without shipping costs:
  • Ex. “My budget is $300 plus shipping” or “My budget is $300 with shipping included in this cost”
• Size of the wood and resin piece; if you see something on my website or instagram please let me know which piece you like. 
  • Note: In general, I do not make exact design replications as there can be a large variance in availability of supplies and flowers.
• Flowers: What type or color scheme of flowers.
• Moths/Butterflies/Insects: What type of paper specimens you are interested in adding. 
• Placement: In general, I will place flowers/moths/etc. in my own creative process. You will receive one photo layout that you can adjust a maximum of 2 times. It's important to note that I do love the creative process of placing flowers and moths in aesthetic ways and will not deviate from what fits my style.  

Can I use this form for Wedding Floral Preservation Requests? 

Absolutely! Please make sure to indicate if it's wedding floral preservation and that you will be overnight shipping your flowers to me. 

• If you are requesting Wedding Floral Preservation, you will receive additional instructions on the process via email. 

Deposit *IMPORTANT*

I will not start on a piece or begin ordering what I need for it until I have received a deposit of 50% of the price I quote you on.

• The first payment will not include shipping, so plan for the second payment to be slightly higher.
• The second payment must be paid within two weeks of the piece being finished unless another arrangement has been discussed. I will still require half up front.
• Payment must be made in full, including the ship cost, before I will send it out or meet locally. 
• If you fail to make your second payment within the discussed time frame, your deposit becomes void. I will post the item for sale and someone else may buy it instead. If you message me after it sells, a new deposit must be made to create a new one. If this is a continuous thing, I will not accept future commission orders from you.

How to pay:

For custom orders, I can accept Venmo or send secure payment through my website. If you are local, payments can be made in cash. 

*Recommended for decorative purpose only. Cured resin may be safe for contact with ordinary foodstuffs, such as biscuits. However, it is not recommended for holding hot soups, acids, or wine.
