Preserved flowers

Preservation is also a form of drying, although it is much more sophisticated. The result is completely different. The preservation technique allows flowers to maintain a completely natural appearance and feel, as if they were freshly-cut flowers!

This is achieved in the following way: Fresh flowers are cut at their peak of beauty and splendor. Instead of being left to dry, they are subjected to a patented preservation process that replaces the fresh flower liquids with a liquid that does not evaporate, is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

The final result is a flexible flower with a completely natural appearance. The stabilizzative keeps working for months, or even years! With minimal care, we can enjoy our preserved flower for a long time.

Preserved plants and flowers are the best solution for making all kinds of original and exclusive floral compositions. They are ecological and economic as they are excellent value for money. This makes them the perfect solution for making all kinds of floral art in places that need floral decoration on a regular basis: hotels, restaurants…and, of course, to decorate the home in an exquisite and original way.

When we talk about preserved plants and flowers, there is an important name: Verdissimo, the leading company in the sector. Preservation allows us to obtain a 100% natural product, which is long lasting and has infinite possibilities.

Fresh or natural flowers

Fresh or natural flowers are those that are in their original state, freshly cut from the plant and without any type of treatment for their preservation. These types of flowers are valued for their natural beauty, fragrance and variety of colors and species. They are widely used in events, decorations and floral arrangements due to their freshness and ability to convey a sense of connection with nature.

The choice of fresh flowers can be especially relevant in events such as weddings, celebrations or funerals, where the aim is to highlight the ephemeral beauty of flowers and create a special and emotional atmosphere. In addition, they offer a wide variety of options depending on the season and region, allowing you to adapt the floral decoration to the preferences and style of the event.

However, these flowers have a limited lifespan and require specific care, such as fresh water and regular cutting of the stems, to maintain their freshness and beauty for a longer period of time. In addition, they can be more expensive than preserved flowers, especially if they are exotic or out-of-season varieties.

Dried flowers

There are different techniques to preserve fresh flowers. Probably the best known method is to leave them to dry by dehydrating naturally, placing them face down. Once completely dry, they can undergo a colouration and setting treatment so that they regain some of their original appearance.

Flowers that have undergone this treatment can be used to make certain types of floral decoration, generally those with a rustic or simple appearance.

However, dried plants are not very long-lasting. Their branches and stems break easily, the colour gradually fades and the petals fall off or break.

So, what are the differences between preserved flowers and dried flowers?

The differences between preserved flowers and dried flowers are numerous:

• Process: Dried flowers undergo a completely natural process where the flower (or plant) is left to dry, while preserved flowers involve the use of chemicals.
• Durability: Dried flowers require more careful handling as they are more fragile and can easily break, whereas preserved flowers can be more resilient.
• Lifespan: Preserved flowers have a limited lifespan. Although they can last a long time (even years) and maintain an incredible appearance, their lifespan is ultimately finite.
• Appearance: Preserved flowers have a more natural appearance compared to dried flowers. Preserved flowers closely resemble natural flowers in their appearance. They look exactly like natural flowers, but preserved flowers can last much longer over time with virtually no maintenance required.

As for the difference between preserved flower and fresh flower, it is simple. The choice depends on factors such as desired durability, context and personal preference. Fresh flowers offer freshness and fragrance, while preserved flowers have extended durability, require little maintenance and in the long run are much more economical. The final choice depends on the specific event or decoration and individual preferences.

What are the advantages of preserved flowers over fresh or dried flowers?

Preserved flowers offer several distinct advantages over fresh or dried flowers:

No water needed

They do not require water to maintain their freshness, making them ideal for spaces where it is not practical or possible to provide regular watering.

Durable

Preserved flowers have a long shelf life, maintaining their appearance and color for months or even years, making them an option for decorations and floral arrangements.

Ecological impact

Because they do not require water and are not disposed of as frequently as fresh flowers, preserved flowers can have a lower environmental impact in terms of water consumption and waste generation.

Suitable for all locations

They are versatile and can adapt to a variety of environments and conditions, including those with low light or extremely dry locations, where fresh flowers may not survive.

Easy to care

Preserved flowers are easy to care for, as they do not require regular maintenance, such as water changes or stem pruning, making them a convenient option for people with little time or gardening experience.

Smell and feel

Although preserved flowers may not have the same scent as fresh flowers, they retain their original texture and appearance, allowing you to enjoy their beauty without worrying about wilting or wilting.

A perfect gift

Because of their durability and long-lasting beauty, flowers preserved as gifts can be enjoyed for a long time after they are received.

How to work preserved flowers together?

Preserved and fresh flowers together

Preserved flowers can be a great complement to fresh flowers in events or situations where durability is not necessarily required.

A great example is weddings, where the bridal bouquet and centerpieces can be made with preserved flowers to last for many years, while the altar flowers can be fresh, since the floral designs for these are so specific and design that they are rarely reusable or taken as souvenirs.

What is advisable is to never mix fresh and preserved flowers in the same arrangement, as this may affect the durability and beauty of the preserved flowers.

Preserved and dry flowers together

You don´t have to choose to work with one or the other! The good thing about preserved flowers is that they combine perfectly with dry flowers. Many decorators and interior designers combine them to créate arrangements made with plants and flowers that bring that natural touch that preserved flowers can contribute but at a more economic price.

One of the main advantages of compositions that combine preserved and fresh flowers is that when preserved flowers need to be changed (even if they are very lasting, their life is no illimited), it´s not necessary to change all the floral compostion, resulting in an reduced “renovation” price.

The decoration of comercial spaces and restauration combining these two types of flowers are trending more tan ever. The most vanguard trends bet for the rustic touches these dry products bring and the natural and fresh touch of preserved products, making these elements in the absolute protagonist of any space.

Next, we will anwer some of the questions we are sure you have regarding the combination of preserved flowers with dry flowers. Don´t miss it!

Is it posible to combine preserved and dry products?

The possibilities are endless! You can work together with the two products to create true floral masterpieces that can adapt to different decoration styles: boho, farmhouse, country, nordic, minimalist, nautical, ect.

How can I achieve a good combination of dry and preserved flowers?

In general, flowers play a special role in weddings whether at the church (or any other place where the ceremony is held) or as centerpieces at the reception—we recommend the article “Wedding Centerpieces”—in hair accessories worn by female guests, decorations in the banquet hall, and obviously we can’t forget the bridal bouquet.

In this article we’re going to focus on bridal bouquets since a nice preserved bridal bouquet can be the center of attention if the flowers and greenery are chosen with care and skill.

Flowers for bridal bouquets

From Verdissimo, the leading producer of preserved plants and flowers, we present four perfect flowers for creating preserved bridal bouquets. Each one of these products is suitable for a floral composition in a certain color.

Below, we’ll give details about these flowers:

Bridal bouquets with preserved roses

These are the most beautiful, highly-demanded flowers in the world. At Verdissimo we have roses in many colors, but for a ceremony we recommend white roses since they symbolize purity and innocence, as we explained in our article, “White roses: what do they signify?”. However, more brides are daring to use more vibrant roses, especially red roses or even blue roses for boho-style weddings.

Bridal bouquets with preserved Peonies

When choosing a bridal bouquet, preserved peonies offer a number of irresistible advantages. These flowers stand out for their beauty and durability, making them an exceptional choice for the big day. Preserved peonies retain their lush, romantic appearance for much longer than natural flowers, ensuring that your bouquet looks impeccable from the very first moment until the end of the celebration and beyond. Also, because they are not seasonal, preserved peonies allow you to enjoy this flower regardless of your wedding date. So, by choosing preserved peonies for your bridal bouquet, you are opting for timeless beauty and lasting elegance that will accompany you every step of the way to the altar.

Wedding bouquets with preserved Gardenias 

These are the most suitable flowers if you want to create an elegant and sophisticated bridal bouquet. Our favorite color for a bouquet of gardenias is white (like roses), as well as light pink, which is a sweet and romantic color ideal for more classic and vintage brides. However, depending on the style of the wedding and dress, you can create beautiful bouquets with gardenias in other colors.

They keep well without water for quite a while, which is why they are also ideal for making many different floral compositions.

Chrysanthemum are a safe bet. These beautiful and resistant flowers are increasingly being used in bridal bouquets. Due to their extensive range of colours, they are very versatile and perfect for any kind of floral composition.

Other options for bridal bouquets

Traditionally, bridal bouquets are made with flowers, usually with one of those we’ve mentioned above, or by combining several flowers in different colors.

However, in recent years, we’ve been seeing more brides opt for bouquets using eucalyptus, among others, which gives off a rustic and country-style effect. This is perfect for weddings using this style.

Also, oftentimes branches are mixed with flowers to create different, natural and simple bouquets.

This change in bouquet trends shows that more women are choosing current styles, especially those that define more millennial brides.

Floral fillers to complement a bridal bouquet

Gypsophila

Gypsophila, also known as bridal veil or “Baby’s Breath” in English, is a popular flower in bridal bouquet making because of its delicacy and versatility. It is often used to fill in or complement main floral arrangements because of its light and ethereal appearance, which adds a romantic and elegant touch. Its fine structure and small flowers create an airy effect that softens and beautifies the bouquet, adding volume and texture without overwhelming. In addition, gypsophila is highly adaptable to a variety of styles and color palettes, making it an ideal choice to accompany a wide range of main flowers.

Lavender

Lavender is a lovely choice to complement bridal bouquets. With its soft, delicate purple color, lavender adds a touch of country romance and natural elegance to any floral arrangement. Whether used as a subtle accent or as the centerpiece in a bouquet, lavender brings a sense of freshness and serenity that perfectly complements the ambiance of a wedding. In addition, its durability and strength make it a practical choice for adorning bridal bouquets, ensuring that they maintain their beauty throughout the celebration and beyond.

Sustainable Achievements

Nowadays, sustainability has become a fundamental pillar for companies wishing to have a positive impact on the world. More and more organizations are adopting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guide to promote a better and more equitable future.

In this context, the launch of the SDG report by Innovaflora (a leading group in the production of preserved nature, of which Verdissimo is a part) is an opportunity to highlight its achievements and commitment to sustainability. This article explores the key aspects of this presentation and the positive impacts it can have.

Commitment to the SDGs

Innovaflora and its industry-leading brands, Verdissimo and Florever, have integrated the SDGs into their business model and daily operations. This commitment is reflected in its report, which details the initiatives carried out to contribute to each of the 17 goals.

Among its main achievements is the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices on its farms, minimizing the use of chemicals, and promoting soil conservation and biodiversity. In addition, the company has implemented education and training programs for its workers and local communities, promoting gender equality and access to decent work opportunities.

Reducing environmental impact

The report highlights efforts to reduce its environmental impact throughout the supply chain. Measures have been implemented to minimize the carbon footprint, such as the use of renewable energies in the facilities (solar panels) and the optimization of industrial processes.

In addition, efficient water management has been promoted, and a system for recycling and reusing materials in production processes has been implemented.

Biodiversity conservation

Innovaflora recognizes the importance of protecting biodiversity and local flora. This report highlights the implementation of conservation practices on the farms, such as the protection of natural areas and the promotion of native flora. In addition, alliances have been established with environmental organizations for the preservation of ecosystems and the promotion of reforestation.

Social and economic impact

The report also highlights the company’s commitment to the social and economic development of local communities. Through corporate social responsibility programs, it has promoted projects that improve people’s quality of life, such as the strengthening of fair working conditions and the adaptation of workspaces to maximize safety and comfort, in addition to the various initiatives described in the document.

Primitive Materiality, Surfaces that Tell Stories

In the “Custodian” trend, the need to bring nature closer to home manifests through pieces that exhibit a primitive aesthetic. Materiality takes center stage with rough, rugged, raw-looking, cracked, and even burnt surfaces. These finishes not only enhance the authenticity of materials but also add a layer of history and experience to the spaces.

The choice of furniture with primitive finishes is not just a stylistic matter but a statement that embraces the beauty of imperfection and the resilience of time. The connection with nature becomes palpable as textures tell stories that unfold over the years.

Graphics that Resurrect Nature

The incorporation of graphics reproducing natural effects is another distinctive feature of this trend. Walls become canvases that bring to life the flow of water, the dance of clouds, or the majesty of forests. These representations not only provide a unique visual aesthetic but also create an atmosphere that invites reflection and serenity.

Earth-toned Palette: Blues, Emeralds, Greens, and Terracottas

The predominant tones in the palette for this style pay homage to the richness of the earth. Blues and emeralds offer a sense of calm and freshness, while greens connect with the vitality of nature. Orange and terracotta tones add warmth and comfort, creating a palette that balances contemporary sophistication with a connection to the earth.

Preserved Nature, Elegance, and Timeless Durability

In the implementation of “Custodian,” preserved flowers and nature-inspired pieces stand as elements that bring elegance and freshness to spaces. These products, subjected to a careful preservation process, maintain their original beauty without requiring constant maintenance like fresh flowers or live trees and ferns.

The strategic inclusion of floral arrangements with preserved flowers adds an ethereal and romantic touch to environments. Whether in charming centerpieces, botanical walls, everlasting bouquets, or special events, preserved nature aligns with the trend’s philosophy, bringing a natural and enduring touch.

Integrating “Custodian” into Your Home

To bring this trend into your home, choose furniture with primitive finishes, decorate walls with nature-inspired graphics, and play with earthy color palettes. Additionally, the inclusion of preserved flowers in your decor will add an element of elegance and enduring nature.

“Custodian” presents itself as an invitation to create spaces that merge nature with timeless elegance. From primitive materiality to graphics that recreate nature and the durability of preserved flowers, this trend redefines how we conceive and live in our homes; your habitat becomes a sanctuary that celebrates authenticity and a connection to the earth.

Mother’s Day: What is its origin?

The origin of Mother’s Day is much more distant than many people think. Some people still associate it with consumerism and department stores; however, the tradition is much older than these. Its origin goes back to when the mother figure was paid tribute to as a symbol of life and fertility.
For example, in ancient Greece, festivals were held in honor of the goddess Rhea, considered the mother of all gods. In ancient Rome, a festival was held in honor of the goddess Cybele, considered the mother of the earth.
However, the modern celebration of Mother’s Day began in the 20th century in the United States, when a campaign was launched to create a special day dedicated to mothers. In 1914, the President of the United States officially proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
Since then, the celebration of Mother’s Day has spread to many countries, with dates and traditions unique to each place.

Which flower symbolizes mothers?

All the flowers we have mentioned in this article are appropriate and symbolize the love between mothers and children and other feelings linked to them. Therefore, there is no specific flower that exclusively symbolizes mothers. The choice of a flower as a gift for Mother’s Day depends on the taste of each person and the message you want to convey.

At Verdissimo, you can find many of them, and they are all preserved flowers, so give your mother a lasting memory!

The Magic of Preserved Flowers and Environmental Responsibility

Preserved flowers are the embodiment of nature captured in its fullest expression. Unlike fresh flowers, these natural pieces have been carefully treated to maintain their freshness and vitality without the need for water. This process not only allows us to enjoy their splendor for much longer but also emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable practices in the floral industry.

The Crucial Role of Water in Flower Cultivation

Water is essential in flower production. That’s why it’s crucial to emphasize that the high percentage of water we use for the growth and sustenance of our crops comes from a natural source like rain, underscoring the need to manage this resource responsibly. By adopting techniques for harvesting rainwater, we can reduce dependence on external sources and contribute to the sustainable use of water. This practice not only benefits our environment but also promotes the stability and quality of aquatic ecosystems.

The Importance of Water Conservation in Sustainable Production

On World Water Day, it’s imperative that we reflect on how our individual and business actions can make a difference. In the production of preserved flowers, implementing efficient irrigation systems and water reuse are crucial steps. By embracing sustainable technologies and responsible practices, we not only ensure the quality of our products but also contribute to preserving one of our planet’s most precious resources.

A Lasting Commitment

At Innovaflora (and its brands Verdissimo and Florever), we recognize the importance of caring for water and are committed to sustainable practices. On this World Water Day, we invite everyone to join us in the ongoing effort to preserve and responsibly utilize this vital resource. By choosing preserved flowers, you not only bring the beauty of nature into your home but also support an environmentally respectful approach in the floral industry.

We invite you to cultivate a future where beauty and sustainability flourish hand in hand.
