FLOWER CARE
Remember, flowers are a perishable product. Sometimes the most ethereal and dreamy blooms fade the quickest. We call it “a zen lesson in impermanence” - consider thinking of flowers as a weekly meditation :) Bouquets will have a mix of ingredients with different varieties lasting from 4 - 7 days, some much longer!
When picking up your bouquet, bring a plastic bag or jar filled with water or wet paper towels to take your flowers home in. For the longest life of your bouquet, keep flowers upright during transport to avoid losing water - Don't leave in direct sunlight or a hot car!
Once home, you can trim the ends of the stems before transferring flowers to a vase to encourage water uptake. Keeping the water level high enough to cover all stems, and changing water regularly will ensure the longest vase life. Flowers also keep the longest out of the heat or direct sunlight.
Over the course of the week, remove flowers as they fade to extend your arrangement.
