Flower Care:

Simple steps to keep your blooms fresh and ready for preservation on your big day.

BEFORE THE EVENT:

• Keep Cool: Store flowers in a shaded, cool space away from direct sunlight, heat, or drafts.
• Mist Gently: Lightly mist delicate blooms (like orchids, sweet peas, or hydrangeas) with a spray bottle.
• Skip the Fridge: Unless advised by your florist, avoid refrigeration—cold can damage certain blooms.
• Ask Your Florist: Get personalized care tips to keep your bouquet looking its best.

ON THE DAY:

• Limit Handling: Hold your bouquet only when needed. Between photos and events, rest it in water or a hydration wrap.
• Avoid Heat and Wind: Don’t leave flowers in hot cars or exposed outdoor areas—even brief exposure can cause wilting.
• Don’t Toss the Bouquet: If you’d like to preserve your wedding bouquet, consider a separate bouquet for the toss tradition.

AFTER THE EVENT:

• Trim and Hydrate: Cut stems at a 45° angle (about ½") and place them in clean, cool water.
• Preserve the Memory: Drop off or ship your bouquet within 24–48 hours. The sooner we receive it, the sooner we can begin preservation.

If you're sending your bouquet to Honest Bloom Studio for preservation, follow these steps to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully.

 WHAT YOU’LL NEED: 

• Snug-fitting box: Not too tight, not too loose
• Packing paper: Or crumpled newspaper
• Damp paper towels: For stem hydration
• Plastic wrap or bag: To seal moisture
• Rubber bands or tape: For securing wraps
• Black marker: For labeling

 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Trim and hydrate: Cut ½"–1" off the stems and place the bouquet in clean water.
2. Wrap stems: Remove from water and wrap the bottom of the stems in damp paper towels.
3. Seal moisture: Wrap the paper towel-covered stems in plastic wrap. Avoid touching petals.
4. Nest the bouquet: Using packing paper, create a soft nest in the box. Place the bouquet stems down.
5. Secure gently: Fill gaps with crumpled paper to prevent movement.
6. Label clearly: Write “FRAGILE” and “THIS SIDE UP” with arrows on multiple sides. Include your name if it’s not on the label.
7. Ship promptly: Use 2-day shipping to send your flowers within 24–48 hours of your event. If more than 48 hours have passed, overnight shipping is required.
8. Timing matters: In most cases, we must receive your flowers at the studio within 4 days of your wedding. Delays beyond this window may affect preservation quality.
9. No signature required: Please ensure no signature is required upon delivery to avoid delays.

SHIPPING DETAILS:

• Include a note inside the box with your full name, phone number, and email address so we can match your bouquet to your order and contact you if needed.
