Taking Care of Your Bouquet
Once you receive your beautiful bouquet, you might wonder, “How do I keep these blooms looking their best?” Great news — it’s simpler than you think! Follow these easy steps to help your flowers stay fresh and fabulous:
1. Keep the Water Clean
This is the big one! Change the water in your vase every other day. Fresh water keeps your flowers hydrated and helps prevent bacteria. If you wouldn’t drink it… your flowers shouldn’t either!
2. Remove Unhealthy Blooms
Check your bouquet daily and gently remove any wilted or tired blooms. This keeps the arrangement looking crisp and prevents decay from spreading to the healthy flowers.
Bonus Tips for Longer-Lasting Blooms
Trim the Stems:
Every time you change the water, trim about an inch from the bottom of each stem at a 45° angle. This boosts hydration and keeps your flowers happy.
Avoid Heat & Direct Sunlight:
Place your bouquet in a cool, comfortable spot — away from direct sun, heaters, and cold drafts. Consistent temperatures keep blooms perky.
Keep Fruit Away:
This one sounds quirky, but it’s true! Fruits release ethylene gas, which speeds up aging in flowers. Keep your bouquet far from the fruit bowl.
