In the flower industry, it is no surprise that preserved flowers and foliages have gained immense popularity over the years.
This innovation is taking the industry by storm and there are a few reasons for that.
Understanding how preserved flowers and foliages can open up endless opportunities to create the most unique arrangements for your clients.
In this ultimate guide, we will give you a full understand of our passion for preserved flowers and foliages.
What are preserved flowers?
Preserved flowers and foliages are natural flowers and foliage that have been treated with a special preservation technique.
This process is designed to maintain the natural beauty and softness of the plants while extending their lifespan.
The preservation process involves using various natural substances such as plant-based glycerine, food dyes, and water to replace the water in the cells of the plants.
The plants are then left to soak in a solution for several days to allow them to absorb the preservation solution completely.
Unlike dried flowers, preserved flowers retain their vibrant colors, soft textures, and natural appearance, closely resembling freshly picked flowers.
This meticulous process can take up to several weeks, depending on the type and size of the flower.
Our Process
01
Harvesting
The fresh flowers are first harvested at their peak bloom from our farms. Our team inspects batches of flowers and carefully chooses the best-quality heads.
02
Preservation
During the process, the natural sap within the flower gradually drains out and is replaced by the preservation fluid. As a result of this process, the flowers lose their colour leaving the petals completely transparent.
03
Colouring
They undergo a different process of dying and colouring, giving them that famous vibrant glow.
04
Dry
After this, the flowers are left to dry in a controlled environment.
05
Selection
Lastly, the best quality roses are chosen to make our unique creations.
After this process, our customers use the preserved flowers and foliages to create beautiful arrangements that can last for up to several years with little to no maintenance required.
They don’t need water or sunlight, making them an ideal decoration for any setting.
How long do preserved flowers last?
Preserved flowers and foliages can last from several months up to years, depending on the preservation techniques used and the environment in which they are placed.
To maintain their beauty, it is important to keep them away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures.
