Every flower is different and so is the way you need to care for them. Luckily there are some general flower care tips:

•  Use cut flower food. This contains everything that your flowers need.
• Use a clean vase and clean tap water.
• Change the water on a regular basis. It’s best to change the water every 2 days. Even if you don’t have any flower food left. It’s better to have your flowers in clean and clear water than in dirty water with flower food. Always throw out the old vase water before adding fresh water.
• Keep the flowers away from the fruit bowl. Tiny bits of ethylene gas is released by fruit which in turn ages your flowers at a faster rate.

If you follow these easy rules you should be able to enjoy your flowers for as long as possible!

Choosing flowers for a wedding anniversary is not always easy. Luckily, there is a list of flowers for each anniversary milestone:

• 1st anniversary: Carnations
• 10th anniversary: Daffodils
• 25th anniversary: Iris
• 30th anniversary: Lily
• 40th anniversary: Gladioli
• 50th anniversary: yellow Rose

But you don’t have to choose for these more traditional gifts. Getting your loved one some of the flowers that were in her wedding bouquet will most definitely earn you some points. In addition, you could also choose for flowers that have a special meaning, based on Floriography, the Language of Flowers.

Even though flowers are widely available, it is always best to go to a local independent florist. Why you might wonder? One of the reasons is that by buying from a local florist you support the local economy. Click here for four more reasons.

A Florist’s Choice bouquet or arrangement includes the designer’s choice of fresh and seasonal flowers, designed by the florist and ready for you to enjoy.
