Caring for Your Freesia

Our flowers are shipped fresh directly from our farms to your doorstep. When you first open the box, your flowers might appear "sleepy" or "thirsty," which is completely normal. These flowers have just completed an international journey and need water. Following the important care and preparation steps below will help rehydrate them and ensure they last as long as possible.

Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Arrangement

Step 1: Unpack and Inspect

  • Unpack and Inspect: Cut any straps to remove flowers from the box, but leave their protective packaging on for the first 4 hours of hydration. As you unpack, check your blooms for any visible concerns.

  • Process Immediately: Begin the steps below immediately upon opening the box to ensure your flowers rehydrate and recover from their journey. Again, don’t worry if they appear sleepy or thirsty—they will perk up beautifully with proper care.

Step 2: Prepare the Containers

  • Choose Clean Buckets or Vases: Ensure your containers are clean and sanitized to remove soap residue, bacteria, and dirt, which can shorten flower life.

  • Fill Containers: Add at least 4 inches of cool, fresh water, and mix in flower food if available.

Step 3: Trim and Place in Water

  • Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent mold or bacteria growth.

  • Cut Stems Correctly: Use clean, sharp floral shears to cut stems diagonally about 1 inch from the bottom. Avoid household scissors, as they pinch the stems and block water absorption.

  • Place and Space: Place the freshly cut stems into the prepared water immediately, ensuring enough space in each container to allow the flowers to bloom properly.

Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain

  • Hydration Time: After the initial 4-hour hydration period, remove protective packaging, strip additional leaves and thorns (if applicable).

  • Re-cut and Space: Give your flowers another fresh cut and place them in your prepared buckets. You may need to spread your stems out into more buckets to give them even more room to bloom. It is important not to overcrowd your buckets. Allow your flowers to continue to hydrate for another 8 hours before beginning the design process.

  • Store in a Cool Place: Keep flowers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat. Avoid placing them in a refrigerator, as this can harm flowers.

  • Monitor Water Levels: Flowers drink heavily upon arrival, so check frequently to ensure all stems are always submerged. If the water drops below the stems, refill immediately and recut them before placing them back in the container.

Step 5: Time to Design

  • Ready to Arrange: After completing the hydration and processing steps above, your flowers are now ready for design.

  • Recut and Maintain: As you design, make sure to recut the stems and maintain water levels.

  • Refresh Regularly: Change water daily and recut stems every 24-48 hours to keep flowers fresh.

Tips from Our Experts

  • Always keep flower buds above the bucket or vase rim to prevent your blooms from bruising.

  • Warm environments speed up blooming, while cooler areas slow it down. Adjust storage as needed, but always avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.

  • Use a floral finishing spray after arranging blooms to help them last longer.

Dreamy Lake wedding

I got married to the man of my dreams on the lake on a 90 degree day in August. My flowers were the one thing that went off without any complaints from me. I wanted a lot of bang for my buck and that's what I received. My wedding was on a Saturday so all of my flowers were delivered on Thursday which you will receive multiple text messages warning you about don't worry, but if you are getting anywhere near the amount of flowers that I did I would suggest taking the day off and maybe having some one come over to help. For one, you don't really know what time they are going to show up at, but also it takes way more time to unpack and place them all into buckets of water then I had imagined. Like by myself, it was pretty much an all day deal including a run to home depot for more their signature orange buckets because those flowers are big and you don't want to smash them together. I had about 15 buckets of flowers by the time everything was unpacked. The next day, Friday evening, (I had my rehearsal Thursday FYI which is a good idea if your doing this) I had 3 of my bridesmaids come over to help put together all of the centerpieces bouquets and corsages and it took about 4 hours. For the bridesmaids bouquets I had them put them together and put the floral tape around the stems to keep them together, but didn't cut the long stems and just put them back into a bucket of water for the night and then cut them and wrapped them more the morning of the wedding. For my bouquet I wanted more of a round cascade so I looked up videos on youtube on how to make a cascade bouquet and bought a bouquet holder that you dip in water before you put the flowers in for $5 on amazon. It's pretty easy once you figure out how long to cut your stems. As for the boutonnieres, the roses in this package are way to big not to look stupid as boutonnieres even if you just did the single rose thing. Instead I ended up picking up some of those boutonniere vase things at Micheals for like $8, but you can get them anywhere if you get them ahead of time. Then we just wrapped a couple of the carnations and baby's breath with floral tape and stuck them in. My main worry was that if we put the flowers together Friday afternoon, could they hold up without being in water until Saturday evening for the wedding and the answer is yes they will be fine. My bouquets I was bit more careful with like I said since I knew they were going to be heavily pictured but all my centerpieces were exactly the same the next day without having had any water. I kept all the flowers in my garage FYI and it was 90 degrees out the whole time they were in there.

Great flowers for a September wedding

After reading tons of reviews I bit the bullet and ordered from Fifty Flowers. Their customer service was excellent. I got confirmation calls and emails and everything arrived on time as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. Even my wedding photographer thought my flowers had been professionally done : )

DIY Vintage Whimsical Inspired Wedding

When planning my wedding I wanted the flowers to be simple yet elegant. I knew that I wanted to make my own bouquet and that I had some creative and crafty friends that could help me create our centerpieces. We had a flower party the day before the wedding and I'd have to say it really brought everyone together and created a bond that I wouldn't have had otherwise. It was great! The flowers arrived very promptly. They were more beautiful that I could imagine. The wedding took place at Mercury Hall in Austin, Texas. My bridal bouquet was made of Garden Roses, Roses, Veronica, Scabiosa Pods, Lisianthus, and Spray Roses. I bound the bouquet with one of my grandmother's handkerchiefs and a custom made ribbon that said "to have and to hold". My bridesmaid bouquets were simply made with white veronicas and bound with twine. All of the centerpieces were absolutely stunning! I'm so impressed with FiftyFlower's quality and customer service. I was nervous about getting the flowers but, my expectations were blown away!
