FAQs
Do you have a Price List?
Thank you for your interest in Gemabees. For the memorial flower keepsakes, each item is custom designed at the time the order is placed. It is very difficult to provide a standard price list for each of the customized pieces we offer. Our handmade items can be made from flowers, ashes, hair and even customized with stamping, handwriting, fingerprints and photos. The flower made items start at $40 and there are several items that can be selected and even customized at that price. Adding stamping usually runs $5-$10 (depending on wording); engraved handwriting and fingerprints start at $60 and photos at $25. I have many items to offer in my selection studio that are not shown on the website or Facebook page. If you need a specific price on an item you have seen on our website or Facebook Page, please send us a screenshot of that item, and we can provide an estimated price on that item. We are happy to answer any questions that may arise. If you’d like to schedule an appointment, please contact us by phone or through our contact us page. Our shop is located in Albertville, AL near the airport off of Hwy 75.
Fresh Flower Drop Off Counter is Now Open!
No Appointment Time Needed
To better serve you and to accommodate our growing business, we have officially opened our flower drop-off counter. You do NOT need an appointment time to bring in your fresh flowers. WE ARE STILL APPOINTMENT ONLY FOR ALL MATTERS OTHER THAN THE FRESH FLOWER DROP OFF.
Delivering your fresh flowers to the shop as soon as possible is of utmost importance in ensuring the quality of your finished piece. We feel that offering the flower drop-off service without a set appointment time allows our customers a more flexible opportunity to do so. Please follow these few, simple guidelines for your flowers in order to achieve the best possible results with your finished pieces.
Keep the stems of your flowers in CLEAN, FRESH water until you can drop them off to us. If it will be more than 3-5 days from the service or event, change the water and clean the container the flowers are in every 3 days, so the flower petals do not begin to detach from the core of the flower.
There is a $50 deposit required at the time the flowers are dropped off. Wedding flowers have a $100 deposit. This deposit is non-refundable, BUT it is credited to your order total as long as the order is placed within 90 days of receiving your flowers at the flower drop off. The flowers will take up to 4 weeks to be preserved. Once preserved, we will message you to set up an appointment time to come and place your order.
The flowers will go a long way when making the pieces, so it is not necessary to bring all your flowers. Due to the volume of orders we receive each week, we can only accept up to 20 stems of flowers per customer. All flowers left over are returned to you when the order is completed.
The flower drop off will take approximately 15 minutes. There will not be an order placed at the time you drop off the flowers unless prior arrangements are made.
When selecting your flowers to bring to us, keep in mind that the more flower colors you bring, the brighter the pieces will be. Roses, carnations, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, sunflowers, larkspur, and gladiolus are all flowers that consistently preserve well. Varieties of lilies and mums are not great for preservation. If there is a sentimental connection to these flowers, we will attempt to preserve them for you; however, results can vary.
You may call or text the shop at (256) 572-5827. Business hours for phone calls are 9 AM – 4 PM central, Tuesday-Saturday. If you call or message outside of business hours, we will respond within 24 hours.
Our current turnaround time is 20-24 weeks from the day the flowers are received in the shop.
