Picking A Vase

Picking a vase actually matters when you want your flowers to look more beautiful and last longer. Remember, you want to make the flowers as your focal point thus, pick a simple vase. It can be a simple translucent vase.

Water

No need to fill your vase to the top. Just make sure to fill the vase with room-temperature water and at least halfway to keep your flowers hydrated. It’s also important to clean and change the water every two to three days.

Avoid Direct Sunlight or Heat

Keep your flowers in a room with cool temperature so they will last longer. Also, avoid placing your flowers in a place where sunlight will directly hit them or anywhere near heat. This way, they won’t get quickly dehydrated.

Aspirin

This is a tried and tested trick to keep your bouquets fresh; drop some crushed aspirin on the water before putting your flowers. The salicylic acid in the aspirin will help keep the water clean and free of flower-damaging bacteria.
