Finding a florist in your area: Relying on word of mouth is often the best way to find a florist. Keep an eye on the flowers at weddings and parties you attend, or the flowers in arrangements delivered to your friends and co-workers. If you like the flowers and design style, inquire as to which florist they came from.
Where to put flowers:No matter what type of arrangement you have, it is important to keep your flowers off of televisions, appliances and heating/cooling units. You should also keep them away from hot or cold drafts and out of direct sunlight. Cut the stems: If you receive flowers in a box or tissue, remove all of the foliage that falls below the water line, then cut the stems with a sharp knife in a sink full of warm water. Be sure to cut the stems under the water and place them immediately into a vase of warm water mixed with the floral food provided by your florist.
