Why we use Freeze drying as the process to preserve our flowers.
Flowers can be dried using several methods. Each one has its own pros and cons. Silica gel, pressing, and hanging upside down are all popular methods. However, if you want a more professional look of your flowers being preserved then freeze drying is the option.
Freeze drying flowers requires special equipment that causes the liquid particles inside the flowers to freeze before they evaporate from the flower and result in perfectly dried blooms. This means that your flowers maintain their perfect form and you will have dried flowers faster than any other method.
When flowers dry out in nature, they slowly decompose. When using the freeze dry method, however, you preserve the flowers through the process. They will not decay when drying out because the moisture is extracted far faster than if they were left to dry out on their own. These dried blooms can then be enjoyed for many months or even years, but they need to be encased within resin to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
The one drawback of freeze-drying flowers is the cost of the equipment is not cheap in fact very expensive, but the results really do speak for themselves, one thing we have never looked back on.
