Fresh flowers can stay beautiful much longer when they are cared for properly. A few simple steps can help your bouquet keep its freshness, color, and shape for days.
As soon as you bring your flowers home, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle using clean scissors or a knife. This allows the flowers to absorb water more easily. Always place your bouquet in a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water, and change the water every one to two days to prevent bacteria from forming.
Remove any leaves that fall below the water line, as they can cause the water to become cloudy and shorten the life of your flowers. Keep the bouquet away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioners, since heat and drafts can cause flowers to wilt faster.
For best results, use flower food if provided, or refresh the water regularly and re-cut the stems every few days. Each flower variety has its own needs, but gentle care and attention will help your bouquet stay fresh and beautiful for as long as possible.
Flowers are not just decoration — they are living beauty. With proper care, they will continue to bring joy and elegance into your space.
