Make Your Flowers Last Longer
If you've received a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, there are a few simple tricks to keep them looking fresh for longer. First, remove any leaves below the water line of your vase. Keep the flowers away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Monitor the water and change it if it becomes cloudy. Remove individual flowers as they wilt, and consider mixing the remaining stems with a smaller, cheaper bunch of fresh blooms to create a new bouquet.
Dry Out Your Flowers
Some flowers can look just as lovely when dried out, allowing you to keep them on display for a longer time. Flowers such as hydrangeas, eucalyptus leaves, baby's breath, and roses work well for drying. Before the flowers wilt, remove the foliage from the stems and hang them upside down in a dark, dry place for about two weeks until they are completely dry.
Consult Your Friendly Florist
Don't hesitate to ask your local florist for advice on more affordable flower varieties. They may also be able to inform you about specific times of the week when they discount older stock to clear it out.
Forage for Flowers
Explore your garden or nearby woodland areas to find plants like holly that can be used to create beautiful seasonal bouquets at a lower cost. Consider using spray paint to add a pop of color to your arrangements.
