Back To The Basics

Admit it. You get an arrangement, love it, and, then, you leave it. This tends to be a common trend, but if you want to care for your bouquet and keep it kickin' for as long as possible we have a few tips for you...


Bad Idea: putting your arrangment near a freezing cold window or right next to a heating unit
Good Idea: putting your arrangment in a warm area to keep 'em comfy, which should be nuetral to both extreme heat or cold


Bad Idea: ignoring your flowers and therefore making them cry
Good Idea: nurturing your flowers! cut the stems as much as you can. once a day is good, or even every other day works. this should instantly cease the tear flow.


Bad Idea: not changing the water. yuck.
Good Idea: changing the water every few days or whenever you notice it looking a bit scummy. keep it clean!


Bad Idea: kicking your flowers and throwing them around.
Good Idea: hugging and maybe giving a smooch or two. even flowers need a little love sometimes.


Bad Idea: starving your arrangment to death
Good Idea: feeding your little guys some tasty flower food whenver you change the water


Bad Idea: not ordering your next arrangement from us. :(
Good Idea: supporting your local flower shop and coming to us with all of your floral needs :)!!!
