How do you make fresh flowers last after making them into a wedding corsage before the wedding?

Question

Should i put them in the fridge or what? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Florists will make them the day before and refrigerate them .. but cover them to keep them from browning.

Answer 2

Any wedding I have been in, the flowers arrive in a plastic bag and have been refrigerated.

Answer 3

My mom is allergic to flowers and she stayed with me for several months after her husband passed away and everytime my husband would give me flowers I had to put them in the fridge so it would not kick start her allergies and i noticed they would last 2-3 days before they started to go a brownish color.  So a friend  suggested that I put them in the crisper with my veggies and it actually gave me almost an extra week with the flowers.

Answer 4

Usually the florist will make them the night before and then refrigerate them.

We didn't have a problem because we used fake flowers at my wedding for everything except my bouquets (real and throw away). My mother-in-law and I made everything. They looked great, it was way cheaper and no one knew the difference.
