We’ve all been there, wanting our beautiful flowers to last as long as possible. This blog, brought to you exclusively by Huntress Florals, will bring you both simple and practical tips to help you keep your blooms looking fresh and lasting the longest amount of time.
This is part two in a three-part blog series. Click HERE for part one!
First things first, once you arrive home with your flowers, prepare your clean vase with room-temperature water.
When buying from HUNTRESS, you won’t need flower food, as we only use the highest quality product that has been professionally processed in our studio.
However, if you buy from the grocery store — feel free to drop that flower food in. Follow packet instructions for the appropriate amount.
Next up, unwrap the florals, discard any rubber bands and clear plastic wrapping. We repurpose or recycle all of these materials, and encourage you to recycle as well :)
Avoid bacteria by removing any leaves that may fall under the water level in your vessel.
Give your stems a fresh cut — about 1-inch off the bottom at an angle, allowing them to drink more water. We all get thirsty after long travels!
Next, arrange your flowers intuitively — we like different heights to add dimension. Maybe cluster similar flowers as they tend to grow in nature.
Play around and don’t overthink it!
The flowers will tell you what to do. Create something YOU find pretty! Happy SLAYing! 💐
Stay tuned for part three of this blog series.
