Bridal Bouquet Guide
Today’s the day! To keep your flowers looking beautiful and photo-ready from morning preparations to the dance floor, follow these simple care steps. The same steps can be applied to your wedding party bouquets.
Quick Care Checklist
When Your Bouquet Arrives
Inspect & Unpack: Carefully remove your bouquet from its delivery box and tissue wrapping.
Keep It Hydrated: Until you are ready to hold it for photos, keep the stems resting in its glass vase filled with clean, cool water.
Choose the Right Spot: Place the vase in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, air conditioning vents, heaters, or open windows.
Pre-Ceremony Preparation
Dab the Stems Dry: Before picking up your bouquet for portraits or walking down the aisle, hold the bouquet over the vase and gently pat the bottom of the stems dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. This prevents water drops from dripping onto your wedding dress or attire!
Handle with Care: Always hold the bouquet by its ribbon-wrapped handle, keeping your hands away from delicate flower heads and soft petals.
During Photos & Event Transitions
Give Flowers a Water Break: Whenever you aren't actively taking photos or holding your bouquet (such as during hair and makeup touch-ups or seated meals), place the stems back into the vase of clean water.
Watch Your Surroundings: Avoid setting the bouquet down flat on table surfaces, as delicate outer petals can bruise or crush under the bouquet's weight.
Post-Ceremony & Reception Care
Showcase Your Bouquet: Set your vase at the head table or sweetheart table so your bouquet can serve as beautiful reception decor while staying continuously hydrated.
Overnight Storage: If you plan to preserve your bouquet after the wedding, keep the stems in fresh, cool water overnight in a cool room.
