Caring for your blooms
Your flowers may be a little sleepy after their journey, but don't worry - all they need is a good drink and they will be standing tall and looking lovely in as little as 24 hours!
We send some of our flowers in bud to protect them on their travels, and so that you can watch them bloom and enjoy them for even longer! This means your flowers may initially look small or droopy, but all they need is a bit of time to flourish.
To perk your flowers up and help them blossom, follow these simple instructions.
Here's what you'll need:
Sharp
scissors
A clean
vase
Lukewarm
water
A sachet of food
(provided)
Getting started
1. Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and add your flower food.
2. Remove all flowers from the packaging.
3. Using scissors, trim 2-3cm from each stem.
4. Have fun arranging your beautiful blooms!
Don't forget
- We send our flowers in bud so they'll last for longer. Watch them unfurl after just a few days.
- When cutting your flower stems, cut at an angle to give your flowers a large area to drink from.
- Display your blooms in rooms which aren't too hot, cold, or draughty.
- The box and flower sleeve are fully recyclable, as are the hydration pots which your blooms may have arrived in.
How to arrange your bouquet
Break up foliage
Separate the foliage and position throughout the vase to create volume and structure.
Pick the perfect vase
The vase shape can make all the difference. A narrow opening supports the top of the flowers, whilst a wider base or an hourglass shaped vase helps your bouquet look fuller.
Play with stem height
Pop taller flowers at the back and trim some stems to feature at the front.
Cross the stems
This creates a stronger base and helps keep your blooms in place.
