Cut flower care instructions

Verify the water supply straightaway upon arrival. Fill a sink or bowl with water, completely place the stem ends under the water and cut them at a 45-degree angle using a pocket pruner, scissors or knife. Cutting your flower stems at a 45 degree angle will make sure that they have plenty of surface area to absorb water and that they don't sit straight on the bottom of the vase.

Replace all foliage and leaves that will be below the water line in the vase that they will not rot. Leave the red and white roses packed in bunches and cut about one-half of an inch off of the bottom of the stems and afterwards put them in water. When you use the red rosebuds, trim the stems one more time and slowly remove any discolored or loose petals.

Wedding flowers

If you want to save some money on wedding flowers use flowers that are in season, available and ready. They cost less than the ones that are out of season. Don't forget that all flowers cost more in the month of February because of Valentine's Day.
