How to make your flowers last longer?

Looking for tips on how to make your flowers last longer? As a local florist in Dartford and Gravesend, we know the importance of keeping your bouquets and wreaths fresh and vibrant. Here are a few simple steps to follow to ensure your flowers last as long as possible:

Bouquets

  • Carefully remove any paper wrap or hydration pack from the bouquet, being sure not to disturb the handcrafted design.
  • Trim the stems to the right length for your vase and make sure to cut them on an angle. Split any woody stems with scissors.
  • Remove any leaves that would be below the waterline to keep the water clean and prolong the vase life.
  • Pour flower food into your vase and fill with freshly-drawn, lukewarm water.
  • Position the bouquet away from direct sunlight, draughts, and any heat sources.

Wreaths

  • Our handmade winter wreaths typically last 2-3 weeks and dry beautifully. Any fresh flowers on the wreath should last 5-7 days.
  • Mist the wreath with water regularly, making sure to reach both the foliage and the base.
  • Keep the wreath outside or in a cool place to maximise its lifespan.

By following these simple steps, your flowers will stay fresh and vibrant for longer. For any additional assistance with flower care or to purchase more bouquets and wreaths, please feel free to contact our team of experienced florists in Dartford and Gravesend.
