Always trim at an angle
Remove any foliage that will be below water
Use a clean vase
01.
Prepare your stems by trimming them to the desired length and cutting the ends of the stems at an angle. This helps to ensure that there is maximum surface area for water absorption and also so the stems don’t sit flat against the bottom of the vase blocking water from absorbing.
02.
It’s important to keep foliage out of the water because it causes bacteria growth which will, in turn, cause your flowers to die more quickly.
03.
It’s important to actually wash the vase between bouquets. Bacteria caused by the decay of your last arrangement can linger causing your new flowers to die much faster than they otherwise would.
Refresh water daily
Use flower food
Use fresh, local, & seasonal flowers
04.
This extra step can help prolong the life of your blooms, exponentially. When you change the water, you are literally removing bacteria.

You know those little packets you often get when you buy flowers? They’re totally worth using! The sugary formula feeds your flowers and keeps them vibrant longer.

I believe that the most beautiful flowers are those you get closest to your home. Whether it’s beautiful peonies and dahlias during the summer, or evergreen branches and dried hydrangeas in the winter, nature gives us so much beauty to enjoy!
