Are you considering preserving your beautiful, all-white wedding bouquet? While the idea of immortalising those delicate blooms is enchanting, it’s crucial to understand that white flowers require extra care to avoid bruising. At Oshi Florals, we specialise in flower preservation, and we’re here to guide you through the process of protecting your precious white blooms every step of the way.
White flowers, though stunningly elegant, are more susceptible to bruising compared to their coloured counterparts. Bruising can occur due to various factors, including damage to the petals during handling or the transfer of oils from hands. This vulnerability persists throughout the lifecycle of the flowers, from growth and harvesting to transportation, processing, arrangement, the wedding day, and finally, their journey to the preservation artist.
How to protect your white wedding bouquet for preservation
To ensure the optimal condition of your white wedding bouquet, here are some essential steps to follow:
Follow Care Instructions:
Pay close attention to the care instructions provided by your florist and/or preservation artist. These guidelines are designed to minimise the risk of damage to your flowers. Handle your bouquet gently and avoid touching the petals unnecessarily.
Communicate with Everyone Involved:
It’s vital to communicate the delicate nature of your white blooms to anyone who will handle them throughout the preservation process. This includes florists, wedding planners, family members, and friends. Emphasize the importance of gentle handling and adherence to care instructions.
Drop Off the Bouquet in Person:
Whenever possible, personally deliver your bouquet to the preservation artist. This ensures that you can oversee its safe transport and minimise the risk of mishandling. If distance makes it challenging to drop off the bouquet in person, opt for a reliable courier service that specialises in transporting delicate items.
Avoid Tossing the Bouquet:
While the tradition of tossing the bouquet is a beloved part of many weddings, consider alternatives for preserving your white blooms. Instead of tossing your main bouquet, you can opt to toss a bridesmaid’s bouquet or choose a symbolic gesture that won’t jeopardise the integrity of your flowers.
By following these precautions, you can help protect your white wedding bouquet from bruising and ensure that it arrives at the preservation studio in optimal condition. At Oshi Florals, we understand the sentimental value attached to your wedding flowers, and we’re committed to preserving their beauty for years to come.
