Caring For Your Flowers
Bouquets, Bunches and Posies
​
To keep your flowers looking beautiful:
-
Gently unwrap your flowers and handle them with care.
-
Fill a clean vase with fresh water.
-
If your flowers arrive in a glass vase - refill the vase with fresh water.
-
If the stems are tied, carefully snip the twine to release your flowers.
-
Re-trim the bottom of each stem at an angle.
-
Remove any leaves that may fall below the water line.
-
Arrange your flowers as desired.
-
Place your flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators and draughts.
-
Replace the water regularly, at least every 2 days, keeping your vase clean.
-
Re-trim your stems each time you change the water.
-
Remove flowers and foliage as they fade.

Forever Flowers: Dried Flower Wreaths
​
Protecting Your Wreath:​
-
Display your wreath indoors
-
Locate your wreath in a dry, damp-free area.
-
Your wreath should not get wet - if it does, components will begin to perish.
-
Position your wreath away from direct sunlight.
-
Dried flowers are very fragile so please handle your wreath with care.
-
Display your wreath away from draughts and in a position where it is unlikely to get knocked.
​
Maintaining Your Wreath:
-
Your dried flower wreath is designed to be enjoyed in the home as a wall hanging, to adorn an internal door or to be used as a table centrepiece.
-
Dried flowers naturally fade over time but keeping your wreath away from direct sunlight will preserve the vibrancy of your flowers for as long as possible.
-
All my flowers are dried naturally and bound to a grapevine or willow wreath frame with natural twine - there are no wired or glued elements. It is not unusual for small fragments of ingredients to shed when your wreath is handled or moved - this is perfectly normal and could be petals, leaves, grasses, seeds or seed heads. Pick them up. pop them in a little pot and you'll have your very own natural confetti!
Enjoying Your Wreath:
By taking care of your wreath you will be able to enjoy and celebrate beautiful homegrown British flowers in your home for many years to come.
