Tip 1:

Hydration Spray or Water Mister

Keep a hydration spray or water mister on hand. By lightly misting the affected blooms, you offer them a revitalizing surge of hydration, effectively breathing new life into their delicate petals. This will help perk up the blooms and restore some of their freshness. Avoid spraying too much water, as excessive moisture can damage certain flowers.

Tip 2:

Water Tubes

When faced with wilting flowers, a clever and effective remedy is to consider relocating them to water tubes, if circumstances allow. These small tubes hold water and can help rejuvenate the blooms until the ceremony or reception. Gently cut the stems at an angle and place them in the water tubes, making sure they are submerged in water.

Tip 3:

Cool and Shady Area

To halt the progression of wilting, transfer the impacted arrangements to a shaded and cool locale. Shielding them from direct sunlight and excessive heat is paramount, as these factors can hasten the wilting process. Opting for a sheltered spot safeguards the flowers' vitality, ensuring their freshness endures for an extended period.

Tip 4:

Flower Replacement

Have our customer service information on hand. If the wilting is severe and you are unable to revive the flowers, contact our award-winning customer service for immediate assistance. We may be able to provide replacements or offer advice on how to salvage the arrangements.

Tip 5:

Stay Calm and Delegate

Stay calm and delegate the task of handling the wilting blooms to a trusted friend or family member. They can assist in misting the flowers, transferring them to water tubes, or moving them to a shaded area while you focus on other wedding preparations.

Flower emergencies, such as wilting blooms, can happen unexpectedly on your wedding day. By being prepared and knowing how to handle such situations, you can ensure that your floral arrangements stay fresh and vibrant throughout the celebration.
