Although virtually all types of flowers may be preserved, some respond
better to the preservation process than others. As a quick guide,
pick flowers that have nice, firm, leathery-feeling petals. Also,
the more resilient a specimen is in its fresh form, the better. Flowers
of this type, such as roses and calla lilies, will more often than
not, stand up well to the preservation process -- and therefore will
retain their original fresh forms best. Blooms with high moisture
content -- those we might consider spongy in texture, like tulips
and "Casablanca" lilies -- will respond to preservation
differently. Their coloring will give way to lighter shade, and the
petals may become so papery thin that they cannot hold up on their own.
The same characteristics also hold true for foliage. To assist you
and your florist in your floral choices, here is a collection of the
most classic bridal blooms in white.
