Preserved nature: how to create long-lasting floral art with your favourite plants and flowers
Preservation is a completely natural technique that is applied to freshly-cut flowers and plants to maintain their beauty and colour intact for a long time.
The preservation process for plants and flowers is carried out in the following way: The plants are cut when they are at their most beautiful. Then, the stems are submerged in a liquid that contains glycerine and other 100% plant compounds. The plants absorb the liquid through their stems until the sap is completely substituted by the liquid. Once the conservation process is complete, any possibly damaged petals or leaves are removed in order to obtain a product with the same texture, colour and beauty as fresh flowers.
The preservation process allows flowers to be conserved for a long time. This means that apart from being excellent value for money, they have endless possibilities for interior plant and floral decoration and for making floral compositions of all kinds.
Now that you know how to preserve flowers and plants… You’ll be excited to try it out! However, from Verdissimo, we recommend as preservation experts that you buy preserved products to make any accessories, to guarantee that the products will last and, above all, that they’re high-quality.

Hair accessories
Hair accessories and beads create an elegant look for big occasions and those made with flowers are the most effective.
Brides
White is the quintessential colour for brides. For a small wedding, a single white rose strategically placed to one side suffices.
Maids of honour
Maids of honour are also important in weddings. Choosing flowers that contrast with the colours of the dress and combining them with beads and preserved leaves is a great idea. To add a finishing touch, you can make another similar composition, but smaller in size, and wear it as a brooch.
Sunhats
Personalise your sunhat by placing some preserved flowers around the ribbon. Apart from protecting you from the sun on the beach, you can also hang it on a hat stand as a decorative element.
Headbands
Liven up your little black dress by making a headband with a mixture of preserved and fabric flowers, perfect for giving a chic and elegant touch.
Hairclips
If you like upstyles, you can make your own hairclips with gems, flowers, pearls, beads and crystals to use in your hair.
Headdresses for girls
The First Communion day is really something special. Personalise your daughter’s dress with a small crown of pastel-coloured flowers mixed with green. Headdresses or small flowers placed among the curls also look great. Another trend is to make a sash from sackcloth fabric with a floral motif on one of the sides.
Brooches and pins
Brooches with a floral motif add an elegant and sophisticated touch. It is a classic that never goes out of fashion.
Chanel-style gardenia
The gardenia was Coco Chanel’s favourite flower and is the emblem of the brand. To get the Chanel look, make a shoelace bow with a black satin ribbon and put a white gardenia head in the centre. Use it as a brooch or to close the neck of a white blouse.
