Wedding Bouquet Care Tips: How to Keep Your Bridal Flowers Fresh
Your wedding bouquet is more than just flowers — it’s a symbol of love, beauty, and joy on your special day. To help it stay fresh and stunning, we’ve put together simple wedding bouquet care tips every bride in Edmonton should know.
🌸 Keep Your Bouquet Hydrated
As soon as possible after the ceremony or photoshoot, place your bridal bouquet in a clean vase filled with cool water. Trim the stems at an angle to help the flowers absorb water better. Refresh the water daily to extend freshness.

🌿 Store in the Right Conditions
- Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, heaters, or air conditioners.
- Store it in a cool environment, ideally at room temperature.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, as they make petals wilt faster.

📸 Important Wedding Bouquet Care Tips for Your Photoshoot
Brides often place bouquets on surfaces for pictures, but here’s a key reminder: never place your bouquet on hot surfaces such as car hoods, heated tables, or under strong lighting. Heat damages delicate petals and reduces freshness. Always return your bouquet to water when it’s not needed for photos.
💧 Use Flower Food
If you received a flower food packet, dissolve it in the vase water. This provides nutrients and helps your wedding bouquet stay fresh longer.
🤍 Handle With Care
Always hold your bouquet gently by the stems. Avoid pressing the blooms, as petals bruise easily. Remember, every bouquet is handmade and unique, so some flowers may naturally open or change shape over time.
✨ After the Wedding
Want to keep your flowers as a memory? You can dry your bouquet, press individual blooms into a frame, or use a professional preservation service. Many couples choose these options to create long-lasting keepsakes.
