Cut flower care instructions

Control the water supply immediately upon arrival. Fill a sink or bowl with water, fully submerge the stem ends under the water and cut them at a 45° angle using a knife, pocket pruner or scissors. Cutting your flower stems at a 45 degree angle will guarantee that they have sufficient surface area to receive water and that they don't sit flat on the bottom of the vase.

Substitute all leaves and foliage that may be under the water in the vase otherwise they will rot. Leave the red rosebuds packed in bunches and trim about one-half of an inch off of the bottom of the stems and then put them in water. When you arrange the red roses, cut the stems again and gently remove any discolored or loose petals.

Wedding flowers

Modern wedding centerpieces are a contemporary way to form the theme of your wedding. An idea that works well for modern wedding centerpieces is to submerge the whole flower in water. You can try this with tulips, cymbidium orchids and roses.

When you are visiting the wedding florist, look carefully at the items in their display cases. If the products in the display cases look of good quality it is usually a good indication that they take pride in providing a quality product.
