Is It Okay To Get Flowers For Wedding The Day Before?

Date : February 5th, 2010Category : Wedding in Red - Perfect MarriageAuthor : Editor5 Comments

I am planning on making my own bouquet for my wedding. I am planning on using red roses. Can I make the bouquet the day before and keep in the fridge until the next morning? Or will they wilt?
I plan on making the bouquet in the afternoon of the day before the wedding. I am getting married at 7am the next day.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank You.

    I had my flowers delivered the day before because I got married on a Sunday and the florist was closed on a sunday. They were delivered on a Saturday afternoon (cream roses, violet orchids and soft pink lillies). The florist knew I wasn’t getting married until 2pm the next day so she packaged them to last. I stored them in a cool dark room in a basement until the next day and they turned out fine. I’m not sure though perhaps the florist prepared them specially as she knew about the time wait.
    EDIT also forgot to mention, if you do store them in your fridge make sure you remove all fruits and veggies from your fridge as they produce a gas that is distructive to flowers. And don’t forget to double check the proper temperature of your fridge for flowers.

    Have them arrive 2 days prior to the wedding….not just the day before. Then, unwrap, cut the stems a bit, put in a bucket with rose food and leave in a cool place…but not your fridge.
    Make the bouquets the day before, but just keep them in very cool water….not the fridge. Temps in a floral frig differ from what you keep your food at. Also, they should not be mixed in where you have food! I did this with centerpieces for my son’s wedding and they lasted a long time.
    I have some roses right now in my living room in a vase and they are still nice after 4 days.

    They will keep over night just fine, I do suggest asking the florist for care details specifically for your arrangement, but at the basics I offer you this: Put them in lukewarm water before putting them in the fridge, and make sure they aren’t crouched underneath any other shelves. I work in a floral shop and the way we care for roses is to do this, as well as cut an inch off of the stem at a slant so that they are able to soak up the water easier and, depending on how bloomed they are, they last a couple of weeks this way so I am sure you will be fine over night.

    I got married on friday and i made all my bouquets the day of the wedding. I bought the flowers at 8 am, put them together and put them in the fridge. The did well…the only thing i forgot to do was put them in water before i put them in the fridge so they were a little limp at 6pm. Dont forget the water and the should be fine! Good luck!
