Flower & Wreath Care Guide

Flower Care

• Carefully remove the paper or hessian wrap.
• Do not remove the string as this holds the handcrafted design together.
• Remove any leaves that would be below the waterline to keep the water clean and prolong the vase life.
• Cut the flower stems on an angle and split woody stems with scissors. Trim to the right length for your vase.
• Fill your vase with freshly‐drawn, lukewarm water.
• Place the flowers in the vase ensuring the water is high enough to reach any shorter stems.
• Position the flowers away from direct sunlight, draughts, radiators or air conditioning.
• If these steps are followed, a mixed bouquet should last 5‐7 days. The flowers may last varying lengths of time, simply remove any dying flowers as the bouquet ages.

Wreath & Garland Care

My winter wreaths and garlands are handmade to order and they remain fresh for approximately one to two weeks and dry beautifully.

• Mist with water regularly (front and back) to keep both the foliage and the base moist.
• Keep outside or in a cool place to maximise the lifespan.
