Next-Day Flower Delivery – Fresh Blooms for Weddings, Events, & Special Occasions
1. Unpacking the Flowers
- As soon as your flowers arrive, carefully unpack them. Flowers shipped via next day delivery may be slightly dehydrated due to transit but will revive with proper care.
- Gently remove any packaging materials, such as plastic wraps or ties, without damaging the stems or blooms.
2. Hydrating the Flowers
- Water preparation: Fill a clean vase or container with fresh, room-temperature water. Add a floral preservative to the water to help nourish the flowers and prevent bacteria growth.
- Stem trimming: Using sharp scissors or a floral knife, cut 1-2 inches off each stem at a 45-degree angle. This allows better water absorption.
- Immediate hydration: Place the flowers in the vase immediately after cutting the stems. This prevents air from entering the stem and improves water uptake.
3. Flower Conditioning
- Let your flowers hydrate for 4-12 hours before arranging them. This allows them to regain their freshness and vibrant appearance.
- Keep the flowers in a cool, well-ventilated room away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources during the hydration process.
4. Water Maintenance
- Daily water changes: Replace the water in your vase or container daily to ensure the flowers stay fresh and hydrated. Each time you change the water, re-cut the stems slightly.
- Add fresh floral preservative with each water change to nourish the flowers.
5. Storage Environment
- If you’re storing the flowers for an event, keep them in a cool area (34-40°F) to prolong their life and prevent early blooming.
- Avoid placing flowers near ripening fruits, as they release ethylene gas, which can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.
6. Specific Flower Care Tips
- Roses: After rehydrating, gently remove the outer guard petals to reveal the full bloom.
- Hydrangeas: Submerge the heads of wilting hydrangeas in water for 30-60 minutes to revive them.
- Lilies: Remove the pollen stamens from lilies to avoid staining and prolong the flower's life.
7. Pre-Event Preparation
- If your event is within 1-2 days, keep the flowers in a cool area and monitor them for any signs of dehydration or wilting.
- Plan to arrange the flowers the day before or on the day of the event for maximum freshness.
8. Arranging
- When arranging, be careful not to crowd the flowers too tightly to avoid damaging delicate blooms.
- Trim the stems again before arranging for better water absorption and to give your flowers a refreshed look.
