Cut enough paper towels to completely wrap bottom 4” of stems.
Wet the paper towels and place on counter. It is okay if the paper towel is dripping—this is going to act as hydration while the bouquet is going through transit.
Cut enough aluminum foil to completely wrap the paper towels and bottom 2” of the stems and place to the side.
Carefully lift bouquet.
With bouquet in one hand and the wet paper towels in the other, wrap the paper towels around the stems of the bouquet.
While holding bouquet, grab aluminum foil and wrap around base of bouquet, making sure all of the paper towel is covered. Secure foil as tightly as possible.
Place bouquet to the side.
Take small box and tape all edges closed.
Choose a side of the box to be the opening and carefully slice a 4” x 1” in the middle of the chosen side. (You may be cutting over tape. This is OK as long as you do not completely re-open the box)
Push the edges of the 4” opening down into the box and place box to the side.
Take the larger box and assemble accordingly, keeping the top open.
Place the small box inside the large box and secure to the bottom:
Take packing tape and create 2–4 tape “donuts” or pieces of tape that form a circle and stick them to the bottom of the small box.
Place small box inside the large box directly in the center.
Add more tape to side of small box attaching it to the large box as needed to ensure the small box is secure in the large box.
Test sturdiness of small box by turning large box to the side and tugging at small box.
If small box moves, add more strips of tape to secure small box.
Set large box flat with opening facing up.
Carefully lift bouquet and place already wrapped stems into the opening of the small box (the 4” that was sliced in step 10).
Cut a piece of parchment paper (no larger than the width of the top of your bouquet). This is to create a barricade between the bouquet and the top of the box—do not tape or tuck parchment down.
Grab recycled paper/filler and place inside the box surrounding bouquet:
Fill in any gaps remaining in the large box.
Do not put recycled paper/filler on top of bouquet; this will suffocate the flowers.
Grab paper and pen and write your order information:
Name of person that placed the order
Order number
Contents of box (i.e., bouquet, additional bouquet, any additions) If sending additions (invitation, ribbon, etc.), place in a plastic bag to keep tidy and add to the box.
Tape this note card to the inside of one of the open flaps of the box.
Close box lid and tape closed, making sure it is not easily opened during transit.
Please add/write “FRAGILE” on sides of box for carriers to view during transit.

Preservation is an intricate and delicate process. You'll receive information on the preservation timeline and care, and you’ll be involved throughout the process—especially during the design stage. Before flowers are placed in resin, you will approve the final layout.
It's worth noting that each flower species can react differently when drying. The specific pigments and flower thickness play a role:
Red & Pink Blooms: Roses, carnations, peonies and others in red or pink often lose vibrancy. Their red pigments may fade or darken. Don’t be surprised if a bright red rose dries to a wine-purple or a soft dusty pink. This happens because the red pigment (anthocyanin) breaks down with less water and more air exposure.
Blue & Purple Blooms: These tend to fare better. A purple statice or blue delphinium might look almost the same dried, especially if dried properly. Their pigments are a bit more stable, though they can still dull over a long time or if exposed to sunlight. Sometimes a purple flower might reveal a hint of green or blue undertone once dried, because the mix of pigments shifts as one fades faster than another.
White & Yellow Blooms: White roses, baby’s breath, daisies, sunflowers – these often undergo a noticeable color change. Whites can dry to ivory, cream, or even light brown. Yellows might deepen to golden or get a beige cast. This is due to oxidation and the breakdown of chlorophyll. It’s common for a dried white bouquet to look antique-white compared to the crisp white it started as.
Multi-colored or Pastel Blooms: Flowers with variegated colors or delicate pastels (like hydrangeas or tulips) might dry with surprising results. Sometimes one color will dominate after drying, or the petals could develop a more uniform tone. Pastels often become paler or slightly brown-edged. Multicolored petals might blur into one tone or show an interesting gradient as some pigments fade faster.
Even with careful drying, you might notice your dried bouquet’s colors aren’t quite what they used to be. Color correcting dried flowers is the art of restoring or enhancing those faded or changed colors after the flowers have been dried.
This can be a game-changer for wedding bouquets that you want to display or encase in resin – the flowers can be touched up to look more like they did on the wedding day.
Airbrushing (Floral Airbrushing)
Airbrushing is one of the most effective and precise methods to color correct dried flowers. This technique uses an airbrush gun (a small spray tool) to apply a fine mist of special floral paint or dye.
Bouquet preservation artists match the paint color to the flower’s original hue and gently spray the dried petals to bring back the vibrancy.
Why Airbrush? It allows very controlled application of color. You can build up thin layers of paint, so the result looks natural and not like a heavy coat of paint. Skilled airbrush artists can even do subtle shading – for instance, adding a blush of pink back into the center of a white rose, or restoring the purple tips of a two-tone orchid.
What Paint is Used? Typically, a floral paint or dye designed for dried or silk flowers. These are usually acrylic or alcohol-based paints that dry quickly and won’t harm the petals. Regular water-based paint is avoided because adding water can make dried petals soggy or cause colors to bleed. The paints are often slightly translucent, meaning the flower doesn’t get completely masked, just tinted with the desired color.
Heavenly Haven Artistry offers a professional color restoration service that uses airbrushing to revive faded flowers. They’ve noted that colors naturally fade as flowers dry, but expert airbrushing can revive those hues and make a preserved bouquet “as vibrant as your memories.”
They can take an ivory-tinted dried rose and airbrush it back to bridal white, or refresh the edges of a bruised red rose so it looks red again.
Because they specialize in wedding bouquets, they focus on restoring colors true to the original. Airbrushing is practically an art form — it takes a careful hand to avoid overspraying and to keep the flowers looking real. When done well, you might not even realize a dried flower has been painted at all!
