Resin Bouquet Preservation The flower preservation in resin is relatively new to the public. Resin has been around for years but now with new technology there are better resins on the market for the wedding bouquet preservation. However, not all resins are the same and that can lead to disaster. Some resins will yellow more so than others and not all resins are designed for flower preservation. The silicone molds that are used are crucial to the end result of the product. We use high end silicone molds for a crystal clear, shiny perfect finish. Do not be fooled from what you read online. Not all molds are conducive to every resin application. |
As well, the drying process must be strictly adhered to for both the flowers and the resin. This prevents your flowers from rotting, losing color, wilting, or worse case growing mold. Resin Bouquet preservation dried with silica gel is great for ensuring proper drying of your precious sentimental flowers. This process also locks the flowers vibrate colors. There are many types of silica on the market and no two are alike.
We use a drying technique that ensures your floral bouquet is preserved to the standards required for resin application within 2 to 4 weeks. Timing and humidity also effect the drying of the flowers and is another variable. Each flower has its own time line for drying in the silica gel. These steps are required in the process to ensure moisture does not get back into your flowers to prevent the flowers from rotting in the resin. The pouring of the resin can take multiple days since the resin has to be poured in multiple layers. The product must then be fully cured and will take another 7-30 days. It is not an easy process, it is a labor of love. It takes time, patience and strict guidelines to ensure that the end result is absolutely stunning!
