Top 5 Best Flowers to Preserve in Resin
When it comes to preserving flowers in resin, not all blooms are created equal! Some flowers keep their shape and color beautifully, while others need a little extra TLC to look their best. If you’re dreaming of turning your wedding bouquet or a special arrangement into a forever keepsake, here are our Top 5 Best Flowers to Preserve in Resin—and why they’re absolutely stunning.
1. Roses – Timeless and Romantic
Is there anything more classic than a rose? These iconic blooms hold their shape well during preservation and look breathtaking when cast in resin. Whether it’s a blush pink, vibrant red, or soft white rose, the layered petals create a gorgeous focal point in resin pieces like cubes or book ends.
Fun Tip: Mini spray roses are perfect for smaller keepsakes like resin ring holders.
2. Dahlias – The Showstoppers
Dahlias bring drama and texture to any resin piece! With their bold layers of petals and wide variety of colors, these flowers turn every piece into a true work of art. They work especially well in large resin blocks or trays where their intricate detail can really shine.
Why We Love Them: They’re like nature’s fireworks—full of volume and wow-factor.
3. Ranunculus – Delicate and Dreamy
With their soft, paper-thin petals, ranunculus flowers create a whimsical and romantic look in resin. Their circular petal pattern almost looks like it was designed for resin preservation.
Perfect For: Brides who love soft, romantic vibes and pastel tones—think ivory, peach, or blush pink.
4. Orchids – Sleek and Elegant
Orchids are the “luxury blooms” of resin preservation. Their smooth, unique shape and vibrant colors stand out beautifully in any piece. From classic white to deep purple or even bright fuchsia, orchids add a modern and elegant touch.
Bonus: Orchids hold their shape particularly well, making them ideal for both flat and three-dimensional resin designs.
5. Hydrangeas – Sweet and Versatile
Hydrangeas may look delicate, but they preserve surprisingly well! Their tiny clustered petals add texture and color to any resin creation, and they’re often used to fill gaps around larger flowers.
Why We Adore Them: They’re like the confetti of the flower world—colorful, fun, and perfect for adding little pops of beauty.
