CARE INSTRUCTIONS
How to look after your flowers until you can get them to us.
​
• Take care with your flowers during day/ night of your special day keeping them out of the heat if possible especially on hot days.
• Remember to place them down, not dropping them. It will protect them from breakages, especially lilies.
• At the end of the day, if possible, place them back in the box they were delivered in.
• Keep them in the coolest place in your home, the laundry or shower recess is often the best place.
• You can slightly mist them with water or place some wet paper over them.
• You can place them in the fridge, but not close to fruit and vegetables as that can cause them to rot, and the element in the fridge
can sometimes burn the flowers.
• DO NOT place them in plastic bags - that can cause them to rot as well.
• DO NOT put them in the freezer. That will cause them to go slimy and transparent when they thaw out.
• You can put natural stemmed bouquets or single flowers into a vase of water if you wish, take care not to put the ribbon into the water.
• The fresher the flowers and the better they will preserve, the better the flowers look in the finished product.
• We do sometimes get flowers that are quite old and can be salvaged, so if you are concerned about the age of the flowers, please contact us by clicking HERE or call 0412 699 841 to see what we can do for you.
• Most flowers CAN BE preserved. If you're not sure, make an inquiry to get some help.
• Any questions are usually answered within 48 hours.
