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, bouvardia, daisies and white stock, may not freeze dry successfully. If in doubt, please call to to review your floral selection.

Call Renaissance Rose at (360)260-9599/1-866-379-7673 to schedule a drop off time and date before the wedding. Appointments fill up fast so schedule today!
Place the stems only in water. Do not put water on the petals or freeze. Do not let the flowers touch ice cubes.

COOLER
-Place a vase/jar of water in the center
-Put 1 inch of ice cubes on the bottom of the cooler
-Hang the boutonniere off the edge of the vase/jar
-Close the lid

This will create a secure cool area for your flowers away from fruits/vegtables. Be sure not to put flowers in a refridgerator with fruits and vegetables which will out-gas causing deteriorations in the flowers. Minimize handeling of the flowers which could turn the petals brown before freeze drying.
