Best Flowers for Resin Preservation

Not all flowers preserve equally. Some varieties maintain their shape and colour beautifully, while others require more specialised drying techniques.

If you're planning to preserve your wedding bouquet, here are some of the best flowers for resin preservation.

Roses

Roses are one of the most popular flowers used in preservation projects.

They offer:

• Strong petal structure
• Timeless appearance
• Excellent colour retention

Spray Roses

Smaller than traditional roses, spray roses fit beautifully into ornaments, coasters and decorative keepsakes.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas dry exceptionally well and create beautiful texture within resin designs.

Baby's Breath

Baby's breath is ideal for adding delicate detail and depth to preservation pieces.

Chrysanthemums

These flowers retain their structure well during drying and provide beautiful colour options.

Statice

Statice is naturally suited to drying and often maintains its colour for years.

Native Australian Flowers

Australian natives such as gum leaves, wax flowers and certain eucalyptus varieties often preserve beautifully and add a uniquely Australian touch.

Flowers That May Change Colour

Some flowers naturally change colour during drying, including:

• White roses
• Lilies
• Orchids
• Certain pale-coloured blooms

This is completely normal and part of the preservation process. They may turn a light brown and bruisers can appear. 

Every Bouquet is Unique

The beauty of flower preservation is that every piece tells a personal story. Even if some flowers change slightly during preservation, they still capture the memories and emotions of your wedding day.

A professional flower preservation artist can recommend the best design options based on your specific bouquet.
