When desiring to create a floral bouquet that will maintain its freshness and beauty as long as possible, the most important step is the choice of flowers to use in the bouquet. Not all flowers will maintain their petals and shape for the same length of time.
In making your flower selections the best choices would be from the following varieties: daisies, chrysanthemums and carnations. All three of these varieties are well known for their lasting beauty in cut flower arrangements. In addition to their hardiness after cutting, each of these varieties come in a wide selection of colors and sizes. Their longer stems also allow for greater creativity in forming of bouquets in both short and tall arrangements.
After you have selected your flowers, you will also want to select filler greens. Baby’s breathe and fern leaves would be excellent selections to increase the fullness of your bouquet with fillers that will beautifully enhance the appearance of the floral arrangement and have the same hardiness of the flowers you have selected.
Now that you have your flowers and fillers selected, the desired height and shape of your bouquet will determine how to proceed. If you are planning for a tall long stemmed bouquet, then you will simply need a tall vase and some floral arrangement preservative to complete the arrangement. Select your flowers and greenery, cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife and arrange them in your vase. Fill the vase with lukewarm water in which you have dissolved the floral preservative.
If you are planning for a short stemmed arrangement, then you may want to utilize floral foam in the base of your vase. Floral foam provides two functions. It holds your flowers in place and gives them a strong moisture retaining base. Again, remember to cut your stems at an angle with a sharp knife to maximize their moisture draw before inserting them into the foam.
The only other item necessary to maintain your flower arrangement for the longest time possible is to replenish the water in the vase daily so that the stems do not lose their moisture.
