A Bride’s Guide to Color Correction for Preserved Wedding Flowers

Your wedding flowers are more than just a beautiful decoration; they symbolize love, joy, and cherished memories. Preserving your wedding flowers allows you to relive those special moments for years to come. As a flower preservation artist specializing in both resin and pressed frames, I’m here to help you understand the importance of color correction to keep your arrangements vibrant and stunning. Understanding the Drying Process: When it comes to flower preservation, particularly using silica gel, moisture is quickly absorbed to maintain the shape of your flowers. However, certain blooms may discolor during this process. Knowing which flowers are prone to fading can help you preserve their beauty effectively. Flowers Prone to Discoloration: Some wedding flowers are particularly susceptible to discoloration during the drying process. Here are common varieties that you should know about: 1. Roses: Beautiful but often fade, especially lighter colors like white or pastel shades. 2. Hydrangeas: Known for their rich colors, hydrangeas can turn brown or dull over time. 3. Peonies: These stunning blooms may lose their vibrant hues during drying. 4. Tulips: Delicate tulips can discolor and lose their brilliance quickly. 5. Lilies: Some lily varieties may turn yellow or brown as they dry. 6. White Flowers: White roses and white orchids are particularly prone to discoloration, often turning brown or yellow during preservation. 7. Tropical Flowers: Many tropical varieties, such as hibiscus and bird of paradise, can lose their bright colors and turn dull.
