How Flower Colors Change During Preservation (and What You Can Do About It)
This blog explains why flower colors naturally shift during preservation, what to expect, and how Wild Coast’s color correction and bouquet replication services can help your keepsake stay as vibrant as your memories. Discover tips for getting the look you love—even as your flowers evolve.
Preserving your wedding or memorial flowers is a magical way to keep your memories alive—but did you know that flowers naturally change color during the preservation process? 🌸
Why Do Flower Colors Change?
No matter how careful we are, flowers are at the mercy of nature. As they dry, their texture and color shift—orange blooms may turn yellow, and white flowers can become creamy or even slightly yellowed. Some flowers, like hydrangeas, peonies, orchids, and certain leaves like monstera might develop translucent spots once placed in resin.
This is totally normal! Drying and resin casting both bring out unique characteristics in each bloom. Even with the best UV-resistant, food-safe resin, some color change is inevitable.
