Flowers Delivered

Prepare to be there when the deliveryman arrives, and ask if you can request a specific time to have flowers delivered. That way, you can meet the delivery at the door and rush the flowers to water. Don’t be disappointed if the flowers look sad and droopy when they first arrive. They have been out of water for a while and therefore entered a sort of hibernation mode. It just takes a fresh drink of water and some cool air to freshen them up.

Have the flowers delivered to a location that can provide plenty or refrigeration space, or at least constant shade and air conditioning, for best storage conditions. A walk-in refrigerator is best, but you can also just take the shelves out of your own refrigerator. Be sure to prep the fridge and other materials before you get the flowers delivered, so you won’t have any delays in getting them to water. Some flower types, such as hydrangea, will need a full bath or at least a heavy mist of water, to be able to revive themselves.

You should have no problem with arranging your own wedding flowers, and you should be proud of your choice. Just be sure to prepare in advance of the time you get the flowers delivered, having all the right tools and plenty of water handy. And, do plenty of research. Most importantly, have fun!
