How to Pack and Ship Your Wedding Varmala for Resin Preservation
Pack your wedding varmala flat or gently coiled in a rigid box with tissue paper cushioning, avoid plastic bags that trap moisture, and use a trusted, trackable courier service addressed to The Art Galaxy, Tilhari, Jabalpur (MP) 482020 — sharing the tracking number with us as soon as you dispatch it.
Step-by-step packing
Lay the varmala as flat as it comfortably goes, or coil it loosely, inside a rigid box slightly larger than the garland itself. Line the box with tissue paper or soft cloth, and add extra cushioning around the flowers so they don't shift and crush during transit.
Avoid sealed plastic bags directly against the flowers — trapped moisture can encourage mould in fresh or slightly damp garlands. A breathable wrap like tissue or thin cotton cloth is better than plastic.
Choosing a courier and confirming safe arrival
Use a trusted, trackable courier service rather than the cheapest option available — we are not liable for loss of material during courier transit, as this is handled entirely by third-party courier services.
Share the tracking number with us on WhatsApp once you've dispatched it. When your parcel arrives, we photograph the contents immediately and send those photographs to you the same day, so you know it reached us safely.
If you're in or near Jabalpur
You don't need to ship anything at all — a personal handover can be arranged directly, which removes any concern about courier handling entirely. This is often the simplest option if you're local, and it lets you discuss the piece in person before leaving your varmala with us.
Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a convenient time during working hours, Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
Even for a local handover, it's worth bringing the varmala in a small box or wrapped in cloth rather than carrying it loose, simply to avoid it getting crushed on the way — the same basic care that applies to shipping applies to a short trip across town.
“Every flower in your varmala held a moment of joy — we make sure that moment never fades.”
Shilpa Amit Shrivastava, The Art GalaxyFrequently asked questions
What if my varmala is already slightly wilted before shipping?
Ship it as it is — dried or wilted garlands can usually still be preserved; we'll assess it honestly once it arrives.
Should I press or flatten the varmala myself before packing?
A gentle, natural lay-flat is enough; you don't need to press it under weight beforehand.
How long does courier delivery to Jabalpur usually take?
This depends on your location and courier choice — most trackable services deliver within 2 to 5 days domestically.
Is it safe to include a note with instructions in the box?
Yes, a short note is helpful, though we'll also confirm details with you on WhatsApp before starting work.
What packaging materials should I avoid?
Avoid sealed plastic wrap directly on the flowers and avoid overly loose packing that lets the garland shift and crush in transit.
Do I need to insure the parcel when shipping something this valuable to me?
Insurance is offered by most courier services at an additional cost; given how irreplaceable the item is, choosing a trackable, insurable courier option is worth the small extra expense.
