Floral care is imperative in ensuring that your florals have a long-lasting lifespan. Below, you will find specific instructions that align with each type of arrangement that we offer. You will also find the specific instructions, along with flower food, attached to your order for your convenience.

Wrapped Rose Bouquets

Feel free to leave your roses wrapped in the floral paper. You can just place the entire bouquet in an clean vase with fresh water and flower food. Leaving your roses wrapped, however, will slightly shorten their lifespan.

If you would like to remove your roses from the wrapping, please follow the instructions below:

  • Remove the floral wrapping paper

  • Trim each stem at a diagonal angle and remove any wilted petals or leaves

  • Add fresh water and flower food to a clean vase

  • Place the roses into the vase and style as you please

  • Place the vase away from direct sunlight & heat

  • Repeat these steps every 2-3 days for lasting roses!

Flowers Boxes & Baskets

  • Repeat these steps every 1-2 days for long lasting florals!

Vase Arrangements

To preserve the integrity of the floral vase design, leave the flowers inside of the vase, as they were delivered. However, please be advised that doing so will slightly shorten the lifespan o the florals.

To ensure that your flowers have the longest lifespan, please do the following:

  • Remove the florals from the vase

  • Thoroughly clean and wash the vase to remove any bacteria

  • Trim each stem at a diagonal angle

  • Remove any wilted petals or dried greenery from their stems

  • Add fresh water and flower food into the clean vase

  • Place the flowers into the vase and style as you please

  • Place the vase away from direct sunlight and heat

  • Repeat these steps every 2-3 days for long lasting florals

Hydrangeas & Other Picky Flowers

  • Hydrangeas are very thirsty. They must remain constantly hydrated. They drink through their petals and stems, so feel free to over-water or even submerge their whole head in cool water for 30-60 minutes when they begin wilting. Always cut their stems at angle.

  • Tulips bend toward light, so keep them away from direct light. Their stems also bend very easily, so try to use a tall vase to keep them upright.

  • Peonies are very sensitive to heat. Keep them in cool temperatures to slow down their blooming process. Avoiding warm environments keeps them alive longer.

  • Carnations, ranunculus and other delicate flowers - be very gentle with handling. Their stems are very delicate and are prone to snapping.
