Step-by-Step Guide
To preserve wedding flowers so they last for decades: act within 24–48 hours, store them correctly, dry them with silica gel, and seal them in UV-resistant resin. Here's the full step-by-step — including what you can do yourself and when to call a professional.
Wedding flowers start wilting immediately. The sooner you begin, the better the colour and shape you can preserve. Aim to start the process — or ship your flowers to a preservation studio — within 24 to 48 hours of the ceremony.
Keep flowers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Place them in a paper bag (never plastic, which traps moisture) and refrigerate if possible — away from fruit, whose ethylene gas speeds wilting.
Decide between DIY drying (air-drying, pressing, silica gel) for a short-term keepsake, or professional resin preservation for a permanent, display-ready piece. Resin lasts decades; DIY methods fade in a few years.
For the best result, flowers are dried in silica gel over 2–3 weeks — this retains 80–90% of the original colour and the natural shape, far better than air-drying. Professional studios do this with controlled techniques per flower type.
Dried flowers are arranged and encapsulated in premium UV-resistant resin, poured in thin layers with curing between each. UV resin is essential — it prevents the yellowing that ruins cheaper resin over time.
Once cured and polished, your piece is sealed and low-maintenance. Keep it out of constant direct sunlight and wipe gently with a soft cloth. A quality resin frame will stay crystal-clear for decades.
