How To Style And Keep Fresh Flowers In Your Home

That's why in this article, we will share with you our top tips on how to style fresh flowers through the letterbox in your home so that they stay vibrant and beautiful for longer than ever before!

The first thing to do is remove all the packaging from your flowers.

The first thing to do is remove all the packaging and fresh flower letterbox cards from your flowers. Don’t worry: you can recycle it afterwards! You don’t want to cut the stems until you have removed all of the packagings, as this will allow oxygen to get through to them and help them stay fresh for longer. It’s also important that you don't put your flowers in water until they have been removed from their packaging and given some time to recover their strength after being shipped in a box for so long.

Cut 5-10cm off the stems of your flowers at a 45-degree angle.

• Cut 5-10cm off the stems of your flowers at a 45-degree angle.
• This helps the water to flow through the flower and will help it to last longer in your home.

Remove any excess leaves from the lower half of the stems.

Use your scissors to snip off any excess leaves from the lower half of the stems. You can use these to decorate your vase, make an arrangement with them, or turn them into a crown!

Use tepid water to avoid shocking your flowers and affecting their opening.

When arranging flowers in your home, you want to make sure that the water is at room temperature. If the water is too hot or too cold, it can damage the stems and cause wilting of your flowers.

To avoid shocking your flowers when arranging them in a vase or other container:

• Use tepid water (water that's about room temperature) instead of cold or hot water when adding fresh cut stems to a vase or other container filled with water.
• Use cool tap water if you're using an arrangement that requires refrigeration (like this rosebud bouquet).

Don’t fill your vase right to the top as your flowers need space to breathe.

• Don’t fill your vase right to the top as your flowers need space to breathe.
• When not using fresh-cut flowers, always make sure they have water in the container.
• Changing out your water every few days is important so that it doesn’t become too stagnant and cause mould or rot on your blooms. If you notice any signs of this, change their water immediately!

If you want a longer-lasting flower arrangement, consider using silk arrangements instead. This will extend their life so when you do decide to change the arrangement for something new and exciting, all you need is some fresh food colouring!

Split your bouquet into smaller bunches and change the water regularly.

Once you've split your bouquet into smaller bunches, you should change the water every two to three days. To do this, remove the flowers from the vase and shake them gently in order to remove any excess water. Then replace them in the vase, adding fresh water as necessary.

Don't leave your flowers in their vases for more than a few days—if they start looking droopy or limp, it's time for fresh blooms!

Recut the stems at a different angle every other day to allow more water to be absorbed by the flower.

To ensure that your flowers stay fresh, cut the ends of their stems at a 45-degree angle every other day. This will allow more water to be absorbed by the flower, keeping it vibrant and full.

Make sure you use a sharp knife or scissors when cutting the stem! You don't want to cut too close to where it meets the base of the flower or else you'll damage its ability to absorb water. Also don't cut through both sides of one stem—it's better for each stem to be on its own side instead of having them connected in half like two halves of one whole (weird metaphor but I think you get what I'm saying).

Place letterbox flowers on windowsills

It would be wise to put your letterbox flowers on windowsills where they can get some indirect sunlight. This will help them to last a bit longer than if they were kept in darker areas of your home.

You can be sure that your flowers last as long as possible

The details above are the simple steps that you can follow to ensure that your flowers last as long as possible. By applying them the next time you have flowers delivered to your home, you are sure to enjoy their beauty for a longer time!
