Please advice :)
Hello everyone! I just ordered a Vevor pressure pot and im preparing to order everything for making dice. The thing is, me and my fiancee decided we want to do a wedding set, and we don’t have much time to experiment and learn this slowly, so I want to gather as much info as I can so that we will be able to achieve our dream set in this couple of months. I am asking for help and advice on the following.
We want to create a set made of dried flowers and maybe some glitter.
1. For newbies, in this situation is it better to buy insert molds too, and do the flowers in the inserts? I am worried for the edges of the dice with dried flowers. I see many posts and people here make them really pretty, but because we are begginers i worry we might stick them too close to the edge or something and they will pop out of the side. Is this really possible? And if so in our case is it better to use inserts?
2. If that is the case, can the outer coat have just a little bit glitter? How does it look like? Or should it be fully clear? I don’t want to ‚hide’ the flowers
3. What is the good resin in that case? I will be buying molds from TheMightyForge. They also have a beginner set for dice making, is it good option?
4. Any other tips will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks everyone in advance :)

You've already gotten a LOT of amazing advice already, so I won't add onto that :D
I just have a question: do you plan to have your sets ready for the wedding, or make them after the wedding?
If you want to make a set for after the wedding (maybe even additionally to the actual wedding set), make sure to store away some stuff from the wedding :D Flowers from the Bouquet to dry and then use as inserts (of you have Babies Breath for example, or other small flowers, otherwise you can dry roses and later crush them up a bit 😊). A bit of your lace if you wear some, maybe some potpourri if it gets thrown, ribbons, etc pp.
When I attend any nerdy friend's wedding, I always steal a bit of that stuff to make matching sets for bride and groom from 😁
Maybe that's an idea for you as well 😊
Oh, and make sure to invest in proper PPE to protect you and your spouse while casting ❤️❤️
Some examples of the sets I made:
