Cut flower care instructions

Check the water supply right away upon arrival. Fill a sink or bowl with water, completely plunge the stems underwater and cut them at a 45° angle using a scissors, knife or pruner. Trimming your flower stem ends at a 45 degree angle is going to ensure that they have enough surface area to receive water and that they don't stand straight on the bottom of the vase.

Keep the container, vase or liner filled with fresh water. For best results, it is recommended to use floral preservative, if you've got one. Combine it with room temperature water, in the proportion suggested on the box. Even if the box has floral foam, you should keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers.

Wedding flowers

To save money on flowers for wedding use the ones that are ready, available and in season. They cost less than flowers that are out of season. Do not forget that all flowers cost more in the month of February because of Valentine's Day.

Even if roses are the flower usually associated with the color red, there are some other red flowers such as Tulips, Peonies and Sumatra lilies for a bride who wishes to add some red blossoms to her big day.

Sympathy flowers

Sympathy flowers and Sympathy Baskets are traditionally sent to the mortuary, funeral home or church. Most churches, mortuaries and funeral homes have a visitation, wake or viewing where friends and associates come to pay their respects. Proper sympathy flower etiquette is to send Sympathy plants or sympathy roses to the funeral home, mortuary or church prior to the initial visitation hours.

Wreaths are Proper for delivery to the church, funeral home or mortuary. These stunning wreaths are displayed on a stand and make stunning presentation.
