About the flowers
Rose
The classic cut flower. Recut stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water out of direct sun.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Lily
Each stem opens several flowers in turn. Remove the pollen as they open; it stains fabric.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
Spray rose
Several small roses on each stem. Remove any blooms that fade to keep the rest going.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Baby's breath
Baby’s breath: clouds of tiny white flowers. It fills gaps and dries well.
Lasts 7 to 14 days
