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 and joy on your special day. To help it stay fresh and stunning, follow these simple wedding bouquet care tips every Edmonton bride 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 a 45° angle to improve water uptake. Refresh the water daily to extend freshness.
Store in the Right Conditions
- Keep the bouquet away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioners.
- Choose a cool spot at room temperature; avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- When not using the bouquet for photos, return it to water.
Important Wedding Bouquet Care Tips for Your Photoshoot
Never place your bouquet on hot surfaces such as car hoods, heated tables, or under strong studio lights — heat damages delicate petals and shortens vase life. Set the bouquet on a cool, dry surface or keep it in water between shots.
Use Flower Food
If you received a flower food packet, dissolve it in the vase water according to instructions. Nutrients and a mild biocide help your wedding bouquet stay fresh longer.
Handle With Care
Hold the bouquet by the stems, not the blooms. Avoid squeezing the flowers — petals bruise easily. Every bouquet is handmade and unique, so some blooms may naturally open or change shape over time.
After the Wedding
Want to keep your flowers as a memory? Dry the bouquet, press individual blooms into a frame, or use a professional preservation service to create a long-lasting keepsake.
