Things to consider when buying and processing Wholesale Flowers for your Wedding or Event:

• If your wedding is on Saturday, schedule your flower delivery for Wednesday or Thursday. This will enable the flowers to open nicely and will ensure that you won’t have last minute delays due to weather or flight cancellations

• Fill a sink or bathtub with several inches of filtered warm water to hydrate your flowers. Carefully remove the flower wrapping and stand the flower bunches in the water until you make the arrangements. Make fresh cuts on all stems before arranging, and make your rose cuts underwater. This will ensure that the flowers will be hydrated properly and will look radiant for your wedding or event
