  • FlowersIf possible, ask your florist to deliver your party flowers the day of the event.
  • If the flowers are delivered the day before your party, hold in moisture by misting the flowers with a spray bottle and cover lightly with a thin plastic bag or dry cleaner bag.
  • Always select the freshest floral products that will work best in your environment.
  • Keep your flowers as cool as possible, but never below 35 degrees.
  • Keep them away from drafts and sunlight and away from appliances or equipment that generate heat.
  • Never store fruit and flowers together. Fruit puts off ethylene gas, which can cause some flowers to wilt.

Ask your florist about flowers for parties.

Florists have always known that flowers make people happy, and now scientific research proves flower power. Aboutflowers.com highlights university research proving the emotional and behavioral benefits of flowers and plants. Rutgers research shows that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. Another Rutgers study demonstrates that flowers ease depression, inspire social networking and refresh memory as we age. A Harvard study reveals that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home. And a Texas A&M study demonstrates that workers' idea generation, creative performance and problem-solving skills improve substantially in workplace environments that include flowers and plants.
