All About Flowers Arrangements And Keeping Flowers Fresh

Flowers are always a welcome add on to any special occasion

, such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and corporate events and banquets. Different types of flowers can represent different symbolic meanings and express our deepest joys, condolences or desires. However, choosing a type of flower to use is just part of the equation. Determining a nice arrangement for them completes the whole package.

Wedding flower arrangements, for example, are very different from flower arrangements for a funeral. Weddings often require an elaborate design with the use of a combination of colors and flower types, but for funerals, it is much common to use only simple arrangements and one type of flower with single color. Special types of flowers also have a different type of arrangement. Orchid flower arrangements, for example, often would be nicer if they are set on a beautiful vase or pot like container.

Whether you choose to have your local floral store do the flower arrangement for you, or you give it a shot yourself, what is important is to have fresh flower delivery for the arrangements you plan to make. Flower stores often have fresh deliveries daily of different kinds of flowers and bonsais for sale. The idea is to have the freshest flowers for your piece. Fresh flowers that are bright in color and plump will instantly liven up your arrangement.

Besides getting the best and most appropriate flower arrangement for your special occasion, it would also be helpful to know some tips in keeping your flowers fresh and make them last longer. A tip is to always use clean vases and containers and removing all leaves, which will be under water in the vase. Submerged leaves will rot and create bacteria, shortening the life of your flowers.

Also, do not underestimate the preserving qualities of flower food. You can purchase flower food at your local floral shops, it really does make a difference in prolonging the life of your flowers. Remember to change the vase water and add new flower food every three to four days. Use the cut flower food mixture to top up containers using floral foam too, as this will help to prolong the life of the flowers.

For flowers that have been arranged in a bouquet or basket, remember to place them in a cool place, not hit directly by the sun. Putting flowers in full sun or near radiators will cause them to rot even faster. Heat causes water loss to the flowers and they will wilt very quickly. A cool room is the best place to put your flowers for maximum life. In connection to this, you can lightly spray your finished arrangement with clear water from time to time, to create a humid atmosphere around the flowers.

Next time you want to give something special or beautiful, why not consider giving beautifully arranged flowers that are fresh from the pick. They are truly simple yet wonderful gift items and can last long when you take care of them properly.
