CUT FLOWER BOUQUET.

This is when your flowers come wrapped as a bouquet and are not already in water.  The stems have been cut fresh for you but you may need to cut them shorter depending on the vase. Fill your vase with room temperature water. Remove any foliage that would fall below the water line, put the packet of flower food in the water. If you do need to recut, cut each stem 1″ at an angle.

FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS.

These come already in water and have been custom designed by one of our trained floral designers. As soon as you receive your arrangement, please top up the water with room temperature water.

Add fresh water daily.
