Flower Preparation & Care

Beautiful flowers start with a little preparation.

Our Flowers by the Bunch collection is designed for anyone who wants to create something beautiful at home. Your flowers arrive in bunches, ready for you to prepare, arrange, and enjoy.

1. Prepare your vase

Start with a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water. Make sure it’s free from soap residue and bacteria. If flower food is included, mix it into the water according to the packet instructions.

2. Trim your stems

Using clean floral shears, trim approximately ½ to 1 inch from the bottom of each stem at an angle. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline.

3. Arrange your flowers

Start with greenery to establish the shape of your arrangement. Add your larger blooms, then fill in with smaller flowers and textural elements.

4. Keep your flowers hydrated

Check the water daily and replace it every one to two days, or sooner if cloudy. Recut stems as needed.

5. Choose the right location

Display your flowers away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and ripening fruit. A cooler environment helps flowers maintain their freshness.

A little care goes a long way.

Every bunch is an opportunity to create something uniquely yours.
