Cleanliness truly is important with cut flowers. Make sure your vases are clean, use clean water and change your water (cold) every 1 or 2 days to extend the life of your flowers.

Prepare your clean vases by adding warm water and the floral preservative we’ve provided.

Remove the flowers from the box, using sharp scissors, recut the stems diagonally at least 1 inch from the bottom creating a fresh surface for water absorption.

Immediately after cutting, place the flowers in your freshly prepared vase making sure to remove any leaves that might be submerged in the water as they will rot and shorten the life of your bouquet. Place your vase in a cool spot for at least 2 hours while flowers take up the warm water.

If you expose your flowers to warmer environments, the buds will open within 24-36 hours. Keeping them refrigerated will delay the bloom and allow you to ‘plan’ their opening. When refrigerating, place the buds in a sealed plastic bag.

We certainly appreciate your business and wish you the best of luck with your event.
