What Is Resin Flower Preservation & Why It’s So Special
Flowers don’t last forever — but the memories they hold can.
At Alma Makes, we take the blooms that mean the most to you and turn them into beautiful, long-lasting resin keepsakes. Whether it’s your wedding bouquet, funeral tribute, or even flowers from a special moment with a loved one or pet, resin flower preservation gives those memories a home you can hold onto.
But… what is resin flower preservation? And why do so many people fall in love with it?
Let’s break it down.
💎 What Is Resin Flower Preservation?
Resin flower preservation is the process of embedding real flowers in crystal-clear epoxy resin to preserve them permanently. This creates a durable, glass-like piece that showcases the shape, colour, and natural beauty of your flowers.
At Alma Makes, each piece is:
- Handmade in our Surrey studio 🖐️
- Crafted using high-quality resin that’s built to last
- Fully custom, tailored to your bouquet, colours, and story
From wedding bouquet blocks to pet memorial ring holders, every flower is arranged with love and intention.
🌼 Why Is It So Special?
Because it’s more than just art — it’s memory made tangible.
Every preserved flower holds meaning:
🌸 The first bouquet you held as a bride.
🌿 The farewell blooms from someone you miss.
🐾 A floral tribute to a beloved pet.
Preserving them in resin lets you:
- Keep a physical piece of your story
- Display your flowers beautifully for years
- Pass down a handcrafted keepsake with emotional value
It's the perfect blend of nature, art, and heart.
🧊 How Does It Work?
We’ll cover the full process in this post here but here’s the short version:
- You send us your fresh or dried flowers
- We carefully dry, prep, and arrange them
- They’re cast in layers of clear resin
- Once cured, we polish, finish, and ship your keepsake!
