It is the number one question we get from brides looking to invest in preserving their wedding bouquet: "Will the resin turn yellow in a few years?"
It is a valid concern. We have all seen cheap plastic phone cases or old craft projects that turn a dingy yellow after a summer in the sun. When you are investing in a timeless heirloom, you need to know it will stay beautiful.
Here is everything you need to know about resin yellowing and how our studio prevents it.
Why Does Resin Yellow in the First Place?
All epoxy resins will eventually show signs of aging if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. The UV rays from the sun break down the chemical polymers in the resin, which causes that amber or yellow tint.
Cheaper, mass-produced resins (the kind used in craft kits or budget preservation studios) degrade incredibly fast.
The Museum-Grade Difference
We treat your wedding bouquet as fine art. That is why we exclusively use premium, UV-resistant floral casting resin.
This specialized resin is formulated with advanced HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) and UV inhibitors. While no resin in the world is 100% immune to the sun forever, our museum-grade formula is specifically engineered to aggressively combat UV degradation, keeping your Square Resin Floral Preservation Block crystal clear for decades.
How to Care for Your Resin Keepsake
To ensure your floral preservation lasts a lifetime, you just need to follow a few simple care rules:
-
Keep it out of direct sunlight: Display your block or Resin Floral Preservation Bookends on a shaded bookshelf or a bedside table, away from bright windows.
-
Avoid extreme heat: Keep it away from fireplaces or direct heating vents.
-
Clean gently: Only use a microfiber cloth and specialized plastic polish. Never use harsh chemicals or glass cleaners like Windex.
