The Art of Floral Care: Tips for Longevity and Elegance

A bouquet is more than a fleeting gift—it’s an experience of beauty meant to be savoured. At Vieri Fleur, we believe the art of luxury floristry extends beyond our studio and into your home. With the right care, your flowers can remain radiant, elegant, and meaningful for longer.

1. Hydration is Everything

Just like us, flowers thrive with proper hydration. Place your blooms in a clean vase filled with fresh, room-temperature water. For best results, change the water every two days to keep bacteria at bay and ensure the stems can drink freely.

2. Trim with Precision

Cut stems at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors or a floral knife before placing them in water. This increases surface area for absorption and prevents stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase. Re-trim every few days to prolong freshness.

3. Remove Excess Foliage

Leaves submerged in water decay quickly and encourage bacteria growth. Always remove any foliage that falls below the waterline to preserve the clarity of your vase and extend the bouquet’s life.

4. Placement Matters

Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or ripening fruit, as these speed up the aging process. A cool, shaded area is ideal for maintaining the calm elegance of your arrangement.

5. Refresh and Revive

Every few days, rinse the vase, refresh the water, and add flower food if provided. For a luxurious touch, you can use filtered water and ensure your vase is crystal clean—because luxury is in the details.

Luxury Display Tips

  • Use a statement vase – A hand-blown glass or ceramic vase elevates the beauty of your bouquet.
  • Create space – Let your arrangement breathe; overcrowding blooms can cause bruising.
  • Play with lighting – Soft, indirect light enhances the natural textures and colors of your flowers, creating a serene atmosphere.

Bringing Calm, Joy, and Meaning

At Vieri Fleur, our motto is simple yet profound: we create flowers that bring calm, joy, and meaning. With thoughtful care, your blooms not only last longer but also continue to uplift and enrich your space with their timeless elegance.
