which resin preservation style is right for you?
One of the most exciting parts of preserving your wedding flowers is deciding how you want to display them. When it comes to resin preservation, two of the most popular options are resin blocks and resin frames.
Both choices turn your delicate blooms into stunning, modern works of art, but they offer completely different aesthetics and ways to showcase your flowers. If you are trying to decide which style fits your home and personality best, here is a breakdown of blocks vs. frames to help you choose!
Ā
Resin Blocks: Modern, Bold, and 3D
Resin blocks are thick, free-standing geometric pieces (usually rectangles, squares, hearts, or hexagons) that capture your bouquet in a gorgeous three-dimensional display.
The Look: A block allows you to view your flowers from all angles. You can see the natural depth, the sides of the petals, and even the stems suspended in crystal-clear resin. It has a modern, sculptural feel.
Display: Because they are thick and heavy-based, resin blocks can stand freely on their own. They look incredible on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, entryway console, or desk without needing any hanging hardware.
Best For: Brides who want a bold statement piece that shows off the full, natural shape of their bouquet in 3D.
Resin Frames: Elegant, Traditional, and Wall-Ready
Resin frames capture your flowers in a flatter, more streamlined profile, often highlighting a pressed or semi-pressed arrangement.
The Look: Frames give a nod to traditional botanical art. They focus heavily on the face of the flowers, arranging them in a gorgeous, sprawling layout that often resembles a painting frozen in time.
Display: Designed to be hung on the wall or propped up on a picture stand, frames take up vertical space rather than surface space. They blend seamlessly with existing gallery walls or bedroom decor.
Best For: Brides who love a classic floral aesthetic, prefer wall art over shelf decor, or want a lighter, more delicate piece.

Which One Should You Choose?
To help narrow it down, ask yourself a few quick questions:
Where will it live?Ā
If you have open shelf space or a mantelpiece that needs a statement item, a block is a fantastic choice. If you want a dedicated piece of art for your wall, go with a frame.
What is your home decor style?
Modern and minimalist homes often lean toward the clean lines of a 3D block, while vintage, romantic, or bohemian spaces look right at home with a pressed floral frame.
How do you want your bouquet arranged?
If you love seeing the chunky, full-round shape of roses and greenery, blocks capture that best. If you prefer seeing the intricate details of flattened petals laid out artistically, frames shine.
