Orange Infusion

I did flowers for a wedding a couple weeks ago that used the most beautiful mix of orange florals. I hope to get some professional pictures with the Bridesmaids etc, since the whole wedding was this great vibrant bright orange color. It was a really fun wedding to create floral designs for.

Longer Lasting Flower Fun

Quality:

All Florists do not process flowers the same way. At Studio B Floral Designs, we take every precaution required by the Society of American Florists' Chain of Life program while processing your flowers to ensure that they are fresh and will last as long as possible after your event. You can feel confident that Studio B Floral arrangements will bring you and your guests enjoyment long after your event.

Tips for Longer Flower Fun

• Allow newly bought flowers, still in their wrapping, to drink clean fresh water for awhile.
• Make sure the flowers are put into a clean vase.
• You will enjoy your flowers longer if you feed them cut-flower food. Make sure you accurately measure the amount.
• Before arranging the flowers in a vase, first cut off one inch from each stem while holding it under water.
• Stems should never be broken off or flattened - not even "woody stems". Scraping off the bark is also a fallacy.
• Leaves should never be covered by water. They will only make it dirty and this will shorten the lives of the flowers.
• Top off the vase regularly with clean fresh water.
• During nighttime, flowers will benefit from a lower thermostat setting.
• Flowers cannot stand direct sunlight and drafts.
• Daffodils can be deadly to other flowers because they secrete a sap into the water. After trimming them, leave them on their own for 20 minutes. Do not cut them again when combining with other flowers.
