How to Preserve Wedding Flowers Using UV Resin

Your wedding bouquet holds more than just beautiful blooms — it captures the emotion and memories of one of the most important days of your life. If you’re looking for a creative way to cherish your flowers forever, UV resin preservation offers a stunning and long-lasting solution. 


What Is UV Resin Preservation? 

UV resin is a crystal-clear, hard-curing material that captures and seals delicate flowers in a glossy, glass-like finish. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the resin hardens, encasing your blooms in a durable keepsake that won’t wilt or fade. 


It’s one of the most modern and artistic ways to preserve wedding flowers, perfect for making jewellery, ornaments, paperweights, or display blocks that last a lifetime. 


Why Choose UV Resin for Flower Preservation 

  • Beautiful clarity: The resin provides a transparent, glossy surface that enhances natural colours. 

  • Long-lasting protection: Once cured, your flowers are sealed from moisture and air, preventing decay. 

  • Customisable keepsakes: Create pendants, coasters, resin cubes, or frames to match your home décor. 

  • Perfect for sentimental blooms: Keep a part of your bridal bouquet, buttonhole, or table arrangement forever. 

 

Step-by-Step: How to Preserve Wedding Flowers Using UV Resin 

1. Select and Prepare Your Flowers 

Choose blooms in good condition — roses, baby’s breath, and daisies work beautifully. Dry them completely using silica gel or air-drying methods before embedding in resin. Moisture can cause cloudiness or bubbles. 

2. Choose Your Mould or Frame 

Pick the shape of your keepsake, such as a heart mould, coaster, or cube. Silicone moulds are ideal because the resin doesn’t stick to them. 

3. Mix and Pour the Resin 

Pour a thin layer of UV resin into the mould and position your dried flowers gently. Add another layer of resin until they’re fully covered. 

4. Cure Under UV Light 

Use a UV lamp to harden the resin. This process can take a few minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the piece. 

5. Finishing Touches 

Once cured, remove the piece from the mould and sand any rough edges. You now have a clear, elegant keepsake that preserves your wedding flowers in timeless beauty. 

 

Creative Ideas for UV Resin Flower Keepsakes 

  • Resin Jewellery: Turn petals into pendants or earrings. 

  • Display Blocks: Showcase your bouquet in a resin cube or orb. 

  • Decorative Coasters: A functional way to preserve your blooms. 

  • Keychains or Paperweights: Small, meaningful keepsakes for you or your loved ones. 

 

Professional Preservation vs. DIY 

While UV resin kits are available for DIY projects, achieving professional-grade clarity and preservation can be challenging without experience. For sentimental arrangements like wedding bouquets, it’s often best to trust the experts.

Final Thoughts 

Preserving your wedding flowers with UV resin is a creative and heartfelt way to relive your special day. Whether you choose a DIY project or professional preservation, your blooms can continue to tell your love story in the most beautiful way possible.
