Preserving Memories
| Q | We'd love to have our flowers recycled after the big day and are looking at preserving them; how do we keep them before supplying them to our resin designer/maker, as we'd hate for them to start wilting and going brown? |
| A | Alma Puno says: Your wedding bouquet is a cherished keepsake and preserving it in resin allows you to relive those special moments for years to come. To keep your flowers looking vibrant before sending them to Alma Makes Ltd., follow these tips: Keep them hydrated – cut the flower stems at an angle and place your bouquet in fresh water as soon as possible to maintain moisture and prevent wilting. Cool and dark storage – store the flowers in a cool, dark room, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to slow down the drying process. Avoid putting them in the fridge, as humidity can damage delicate petals. Handle with care – Limit touching the petals to avoid bruising or browning. Upright position – Keep the bouquet upright in a vase or container to preserve its shape. Contact your resin designer promptly – The sooner the flowers reach the resin designer, the better they will look once preserved. At Alma Makes Ltd., I'm always on hand to advise on the best preservation method for each unique bouquet. |
