Here are some great tips for your Wedding Flowers to keep them Fresh especially if you are doing a DIY Bouquet
Roses …
Roses are best preserved at 5 degrees Celsius … the best way is to put them in water as deep as possible, but keeping the buds well above the waterline. Do this for at least 3 hours. If possible, then keep them at around 20 degrees Celsius.
All thorns and any lower leaves should be removed.
Peonies
Preserve peonies at 5 degrees Celsius.
Here is a wonderful Tip! If you have a tight bud on your peony blossom, but want it to open, you can put it into a hot water for a very short time, and it will blossom in front your eyes.
Orchids
Preserve Orchids at 8 degrees Celsius.
Be Aware of drops of water left on the flowers as they can harm the blossoms. Fresh Clean Water is the best way to keep Orchids Fresh.
Tulips
Tulips love very cold water, even with ice.
If you want to keep tulip stems straight, you should fix them with paper and leave in the water for couple of hours.
