Wedding Bouquet Resin Preservation

Preserve Your Cherished Memories

timeless. unique. meaningful

Brides, save your bouquet! Don’t let your wedding flowers wilt and dry up! Your florals are one of the most beautiful, important and carefully chosen accessories of your wedding day.

I design and create modern, one-of-a-kind art showcasing your very own wedding flowers. Each botanical piece is completely unique and custom handcrafted to reflect all the beautiful details of your bridal bouquet. Your preserved florals are a true work of art and a lasting reminder of the emotion and celebration you felt as you walked down the aisle.

Your bouquet will be carefully dried and then creatively arranged and preserved in clear, glass-like resin so you can display it in your home and enjoy it as a beautiful and meaningful keepsake that you will cherish for years to come.

other Custom Arrangements

Resin preservation is not just for weddings, but any arrangement or special occasion flowers that have special significance to you. Anniversary, birthday or Mother's Day bouquets would all be lovely to preserve with this method. Commissions can feature special botanicals from the sentimental places, people or events in your life. Also, your favourite flowers can be preserved as a lovely accent to your home decor.

If your wedding has already taken place and you would have liked to preserve your flowers - all is not lost! Some good close up photographs of your florals and a few of each of the blooms and leaves is all I need to recreate your wedding bouquet.

This is also a thoughtful gift for Mom, Bridesmaids, flower girls and Grandparents or a very special wedding gift for the bride herself! As well, it would be wonderful for any flower loving friends, family members or any special person in your life that loves to garden!

How the Preservation Process Works

The best results for preserving the most authentic colors, shapes and textures of your flowers is to dry the freshest blooms. For this reason, It is helpful if the bouquet is kept hydrated in water and delivered as soon as possible after the wedding or special occasion.

Once the bouquet is recieved, the preservation process begins immediately. First, the best blooms are selected. Then they are very carefully and individually dried in silica gel. Depending on the size and thickness of the florals, this can take anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks. Once dry, the flowers, petals and leaves are slowly removed from the silica gel and a creative design is made in a 9 inch round mold. Some colors may darken or change. This is especially apparent in red and white blooms and is a normal part of the drying process. An image will be emailed to you for your consideration and approval.

The next step in the process is pouring the resin. Over a number of days, many thin layers are very gently and meticulously poured so as to avoid bending or damaging the delicate floral ingredients. Each layer of resin must set before the next layer is poured.

Last of all is the time it takes for your art piece to cure. Approximately 7 days are needed to ensure that your resin art is completely hardened and solid. The entire process takes aproximately 3 - 4 weeks in total, at which time you can expect to recieve your preserved bouquet treasure!

All resin art is non-toxic, and produces no VOCs or fumes.
