How does flower preservation in resin work?+
Flower preservation in resin typically involves carefully drying the flowers to remove moisture, arranging them, and then setting them in clear resin. The resin cures around the dried flowers, creating a solid keepsake that allows the original blooms to be displayed long after the occasion.
How soon after my wedding should I send my bouquet for preservation?+
As soon as possible is best. Ideally, keep your bouquet somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight and contact us within a day or two. Fresh flowers generally give us the best opportunity to preserve their shape and natural character. Send us a photo on WhatsApp so we can assess your bouquet and advise you.
Will my flowers keep their original colour?+
Flowers can naturally change colour during drying and preservation. Some colours remain close to their original appearance, while delicate flowers and lighter shades may change more noticeably. We aim to preserve the natural character of your flowers rather than artificially reproduce their original colour.
