Flower Care
Fresh flowers are delicate and naturally have a limited lifespan, but with proper care, you can enjoy them for even longer.
Keep Your Flowers Beautiful
Trim the Stems
No need to do this when you first receive your flowers—we've already taken care of it for you. Every arrangement is professionally conditioned, hydrated, and freshly trimmed before pickup or delivery to ensure your blooms arrive at their best.
After 2–3 days, trim about ½–1 inch off each stem at a 45° angle before placing them back into fresh, clean water. Re-trimming the stems every few days helps maximize water absorption and extends the life of your flowers.
Fresh Water
For the longest-lasting blooms, replace the water every 2–3 days and rinse the vase thoroughly before refilling it with fresh, clean water. This helps minimize bacteria and keeps your flowers looking their best.
Be sure to check the water level daily, as some flowers naturally drink much more than others. It's completely normal for certain arrangements to use water quickly, so don't be surprised if the vase needs refilling sooner than expected. Keeping the water clean and at an appropriate level is one of the most important steps in extending the life of your arrangement.
Flower Food
If flower food is included with your order, simply add it to fresh water according to the instructions provided. It helps nourish your flowers while keeping the water cleaner for a longer-lasting arrangement.
If flower food is not included, your bouquet has already been professionally conditioned and treated before pickup or delivery. In many cases, additional flower food isn't necessary. Over-treating certain blooms can actually shorten their vase life, so we only include it when it's beneficial for your specific arrangement.
The Perfect Spot
To help your flowers stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible, display them in a cool indoor area away from direct heat and sunlight.
For the best vase life, avoid placing your arrangement near:
Direct sunlight
Heating vents
Air conditioners
Fireplaces
Warm or sunny windows
Keeping your flowers in a cool, stable environment will help preserve their beauty and allow you to enjoy them for even longer.
For Wrapped Bouquets
Our signature bouquets are wrapped in premium waterproof paper, so there's no need to unwrap them right away. Simply place the bouquet directly into clean water as it is.
Before pickup or delivery, every bouquet is professionally hydrated, and the stems are freshly trimmed, so there's nothing you need to do when you first receive it.
After 3–4 days, remove the bouquet from the wrapping, trim about ½–1 inch off the stems at a 45° angle, and place it back into fresh, clean water. Continue changing the water every 1–2 days to help your flowers last as long as possible.
Because our luxury bouquets are designed with a full, oversized presentation, some standard household vases may not be large enough to support them. We offer premium vases for purchase if you'd like to display your bouquet without changing its original design.
If you don't have a large enough vase, you may carefully separate the bouquet into two or more arrangements. While this changes the original presentation, it's a great way to continue enjoying your flowers throughout your home.
Specialty Flowers
Some flowers naturally require a little extra attention. Here are a few tips to help them look their best throughout their vase life.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are one of the thirstiest flowers and should always be kept in plenty of fresh water. If they begin to wilt, don't panic—this is often caused by a stem blockage that limits water absorption. Simply trim about ½–1 inch off the stems and place them back into clean, fresh water as soon as possible.
Tulips
Tulips continue to grow even after they're cut and will naturally lean toward light. This is completely normal. Keep the water level below the leaves to help prevent bacteria from developing.
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are heavy drinkers and will stay happiest with plenty of fresh water. For the longest vase life, display them in a cool area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Roses
You may notice a few darker or bruised outer petals on your roses. These are called guard petals and are intentionally left on to protect the bloom during shipping and handling. They can be gently removed if desired, revealing the fresh petals underneath.
