Preserving your bouquet from a Bloom Bar workshop is a wonderful way to hold onto special memories. Whether your flowers mark a milestone, celebrate creativity, or commemorate a team-building event, several easy methods can help keep those beautiful blooms looking lovely for longer. Explore our expert tips to enjoy your flowers for weeks to come.
Air-Drying Flowers at Home
Air-drying is a traditional and simple method. To do this, remove excess leaves and tie the flower stems together. Hang them upside down in a cool, dry, and dark space. Good air circulation is key. In about two weeks, your flowers will be naturally preserved with rustic charm.
Flower Pressing Techniques
Pressing flowers is ideal for keepsakes, framing, or crafts. Place clean blooms between two sheets of absorbent paper, then insert into a heavy book or a flower press. After two to four weeks, your pressed blooms will be flat and papery—perfect for creative projects or preserving special memories.
Using Silica Gel for Professional Results
Silica gel is a desiccant that helps retain flowers’ shape and vivid color. Pour silica gel into an airtight container, nestle the blooms inside, and cover completely. Seal and leave for a week. Gently remove the dried flowers for a nearly fresh appearance, ideal for long-lasting displays.
