  • Sacred Blooms: The Business of Preserving Religious Event Flowers - Episode 24
    In this episode of the Resin Mastery Podcast, the hosts dive into the theme of preserving flowers from religious events using ICOAT Epoxy. They introduce the idea that many blessed flowers, coming from events like weddings, funerals, baptisms, and religious holidays, are often discarded after ceremonies despite their emotional and spiritual significance. The conversation highlights the lost value in tossing out such flowers and advocates for their preservation as lasting mementos, not just for individuals, but as gifts or keepsakes available in the gift shops of churches, synagogues, and other religious institutions. The discussion broadens to include flowers and traditions from diverse faiths and cultures, such as marigolds for Día de los Muertos or poppies for Remembrance Day.Rachel and Ian explore the practical side of partnering with religious organizations or local businesses to offer flower preservation as a meaningful service, which can provide cherished keepsakes (like rosaries made from preserved flowers) and new revenue streams for community institutions. They emphasize the emotional resonance of these preserved pieces, suggesting they serve as physical reminders of important life events, capturing more than just the beauty of flowers, but the memories, promises, and emotions tied to significant milestones. Rachel shares that, in her own experience, a preserved bouquet would represent not just a wedding day but the enduring commitment and love behind it.The hosts wrap up by encouraging artisans and creators to take a proactive and personal approach, emphasizing the benefits of collaborating with local religious groups or gift shops rather than relying solely on online sales. The conversation notes the importance of supporting local communities and fostering connections, with heartfelt advice for artisans to reach out directly to organizations and offer their craft. Overall, the episode is a testament to the power of resin artistry in transforming fleeting symbols into cherished, memory-laden objects that carry both emotional weight and communal value.https://icoatepoxy.comtel: +1 602-258-1114https://www.facebook.com/iCoatProducts/Instagram @icoat.epoxyhttps://icoatepoxy.com/ai-agent/Podcast management by www.globalcreativegroup.com

  • Are There Wedding Outlets You Are Missing? - Episode 22

She explains her intention to preserve her bouquet and create small resin pieces, such as ring dishes or tokens, for her bridal party. Both hosts reflect on how wedding flowers hold deep sentimental value, with Ian highlighting the symbolic resilience of roses and how their ability to bloom again mirrors the enduring nature of marriage.The discussion then shifts to business advice for artisans working with epoxy and preservation. Ian and Rachel note that flower preservation is still a relatively new concept for many, and that most wedding planners and venues do not actively market these services.
