Did You Know That Flowers Are Often Cut at Different Stages for a Reason?
Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company
One of the things that separates professional floral design from simply buying flowers and putting them into a vase is flower selection.
Did you know that a professional florist doesn't necessarily want every flower in an arrangement to be at the same stage of bloom?
Imagine receiving an arrangement where every rose, lily and carnation is already completely open.
Beautiful?
Absolutely.
But it also means everything is already further along in its natural life cycle.
Florists often combine flowers at different stages so the arrangement develops over time.
Some flowers may open immediately.
Others may open over the next several days.
That means the arrangement can actually change as you enjoy it.
This is especially important for flowers such as lilies, roses and certain specialty blooms.
The Goal
The goal isn't simply:
"Make it look good when we deliver it."
The goal is:
"Make it look good when we deliver it and give the recipient the opportunity to enjoy the flowers as they develop."
That's part of professional flower conditioning and selection.
At Petal Perfection Flower Company, we consider bloom stage, freshness, hydration, color, flower quality and the overall design before an arrangement leaves our studio.
