At Srushti Resin Art in Hyderabad, India, we transform these fleeting flowers into timeless keepsakes. Our expert resin artists specialize in preserving wedding garlands and cards in stunning wooden teakwood frames using high-quality epoxy resin.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through our meticulous process of preserving wedding garlands in teakwood frames. This not only safeguards your memories but also creates a beautiful display piece for your home. Let’s dive into the art and science behind it!
Why Preserve Your Wedding Garland?
Before we get into the steps, consider this: Fresh flowers wilt and fade, but with epoxy resin preservation, your garland remains vibrant forever. Encased in a custom teakwood frame, it becomes a conversation starter – a piece of art that tells your love story. Plus, our frames allow visibility from both sides, thanks to an acrylic base, making it perfect for shelves or walls. At Srushti Resin Art, we tailor everything to your preferences, ensuring a one-of-a-kind heirloom.
The Step-by-Step Preservation Process
Our process is handled by experienced resin artists who ensure every detail is perfect. Here’s how we do it:
1. Drying the Garland with Silica Gel
The foundation of successful preservation is proper drying. We carefully place your wedding garland in silica gel, a moisture-absorbing agent, to remove all water content. This step typically takes a few days and prepares the flowers for resin embedding.
Important Note: If flowers aren’t fully dried, problems can arise. Moisture trapped in the petals can lead to mold growth, discoloration (turning yellow or brown), or air bubbles forming in the resin, which compromise the clarity and longevity of the piece. That’s why we never skip or rush this crucial phase – it’s all about protecting your memories!
2. Crafting the Custom Teakwood Frame
Once dried, we build a sturdy teakwood frame with an acrylic base. Teakwood’s natural durability and elegant grain make it ideal for a premium finish. The acrylic base ensures the garland is visible from the backside, adding depth and versatility to the display.
Frame size is entirely up to you! Whether you want a compact 12×12 inch piece or a larger statement frame, we customize it to fit your space and style.
3. Adding LED Lighting (Optional)
For that extra wow factor, we can incorporate an LED strip slot into the teakwood frame. Imagine your preserved garland softly illuminated at night – perfect for romantic evenings or as a nightlight in your bedroom. This feature is added based on your preference, enhancing the frame’s ambiance without overpowering the natural beauty of the flowers.
4. Multi-Partition Frames (Optional)
If you have multiple items to preserve – like the garland, wedding card, and accessories – we can create multi-partition teakwood frames. This divides the space into sections, allowing for organized and artistic arrangements. It’s a popular choice for couples wanting to encapsulate their entire wedding essence in one frame.
5. Sealing the Frame
Preparation is key to a flawless result. We meticulously seal the frame from all edges and corners using high-quality sealants. This prevents any resin leakage during pouring and ensures a clean, professional edge.
6. Pouring the First Resin Layer
With the frame ready, we mix epoxy resin and hardener in precise ratios for optimal clarity and strength. We pour the first layer – about 3mm thick – to create a stable base. This layer sets the stage for embedding your items.
7. Arranging the Garland and Accessories
After allowing the first layer to cure for about 12 hours (ensuring it’s tacky but firm), we artfully arrange the dried garland, wedding card, and any accessories (like rings or petals) on top. Our artists position everything with care, considering balance, aesthetics, and your personal story.
8. Layering with Epoxy Resin
To fully encase and protect the items, we pour multiple layers of epoxy resin over them. Each layer is added gradually to avoid bubbles and ensure even coverage. This builds up a crystal-clear dome that preserves the colors and textures indefinitely.
9. Sanding for Perfection
Between layers or as needed, we perform light sanding to refine the surface. This removes any imperfections, like minor bubbles or uneven spots, resulting in a smooth, glass-like finish.
10. Adding Customized Golden Stickers
Personalization is our specialty! We affix custom golden stickers featuring the couple’s names, meaningful quotes, or even a logo. These elegant touches add a sentimental layer, making the frame truly yours.
11. Applying the Final Top Coat
For ultimate shine and protection, we pour a final top coat of epoxy resin. This seals everything in and gives the piece a glossy, professional look that resists dust and fading.
12. Finishing Touches: Burr Removal and Polishing
Once fully cured, we remove any burrs (small imperfections) and polish the entire piece with specialized resin polish. This step enhances the luster, making your preserved garland sparkle like new.
13. Secure Packaging
Finally, we package your masterpiece with care, using protective materials to ensure it arrives safely. Whether you’re in Hyderabad or shipping across India, we handle delivery with the utmost attention.
