For
the best results in flower preservation, Renaissance Rose
highly suggests to arrange for a consultation with us after
you have met with your florist. We will review your flower
selections and determine the best care for your flowers.
Here
are a few things to keep in mind when choosing flowers
for your bouquet:
All
flowers will change color. Know that these are real dried
flowers and nature plays a part in this process. Over
time, your flowers will take on a softer antique look.
We call it the Renaissance look.
Most
flowers freeze dry well, some flowers like spider mums
and bouvardia may not freeze dry successfully. If in doubt,
please call to to review your floral selection.
Care
& Handling of your Floral Bouquet...
Arrange
in advance to have your flowers delivered to Renaissance Rose
as soon after the wedding as possible. The fresher the flowers,
the more successful the results. Before the delivery, keep the
flowers cool, but not frozen. An ice chest works well for transporting.
Line the bottom of the chest with ice or ice packs and cover
with a plastic bag and towel. Place the flowers upon the towel
or in a vase, yet do not allow them to become wet or float on
the water.
If
an ice chest is not possible, place the flowers loosely in a
plastic bag and blow air into it. Close the bag tightly and
place in a refrigerator without fruit. Because bruising causes
the flowers to brown, delicate handling can help minimize the
damage to the flowers.
A
pick-up service is available with advance reservations for
a nominal charge. Please feel welcome to call with any further
questions you may have at: 360-260-9599
