True Love Vase

To guarantee the freshest bouquet possible, we may replace some stems in your arrangement for color or flower variety. While we always do the best to match the picture shown, sometimes different vases or wrapping paper may be used. Any substitution made will be similar to the original design and be of equal or greater value.

Floral and Plant Substitutions
For bouquets and plants of one variety, such as roses or orchids, we focus on matching the floral type but may substitute for different colors.

We deliver within 5 miles of our store! Our farm-fresh flowers are unique in that they are cooled at an optimal temperature which guarantees extra freshness and longer vase life.

1. Gather your tools. You’ll need a pair of scissors (or sharp knife), waste bin, clean water, and a vase.

2. Trim the stems about 1/2 inch from the bottom at a 45-degree angle, and hydrate for 20 minutes. When your flowers first arrive, it’s important to get them hydrated as soon as possible. It’s natural for stems to begin to harden as a defense from being cut away from the rosebush. Trimming the stems immediately revitalizes the flower’s ability to draw in water, which will help preserve the visual freshness of each bloom.

Water is essential for roses to keep their petals looking luscious and strong, and trimming at an angle can help them absorb water faster.

3. Remove damaged petals. Guard petals protect the rose and may be bruised. In rare occasions, tiny brown spots (botrytis) may be present on exterior petals. For longer-lasting roses, pluck off bruised or damaged petals to reveal a perfect, healthy bloom.

4. Fill the vase with fresh water, and add nutrients. We can’t stress this part enough – clear, fresh water is absolutely essential for fresh roses to live a long life. In addition to providing fresh water with flower food from the get-go, it’s best to change the water every 2-3 days to prolong the life of your roses.

5. Double-check to make sure all stems are freshly trimmed, and remove any low-hanging leaves that may come into contact with the vase water. Almost there!

6. Arrange your masterpiece. Here’s where the magic happens! Get inspiration from our social media pages for making beautiful floral arrangements with your own personal touch.

EXTRA TIPS FOR A LONG VASE LIFE

- Keep your bouquet at cool room temperature and out of direct sunlight.

- Change the water frequently; every 2 days is best!

- Never grab flowers by the petals when arranging your bouquet. Instead, gently grab flowers by the stem, which is more supportive.
