"I want to talk about how to store the beautiful flowers that you have just made. Usually you are going to be making these at least a day ahead of time, so first you have your bouquet and since you have free hanging stem I recommend that you use a vase of water. Put the stems in and leave the ribbon outside of the vase, spritz with water and keep it in a cool place possibly the refrigerator if you can. And then we have our little corsages, spritz with water and you can use a Ziploc bag to keep it fresh over night, zip the bag and keep it in the refrigerator. I want to remind you that the corsages all need 1 or 2 pins. The boutonnière each need a pin and I also recommend that if you have a lot of these that you can label each one with the person’s name on it because your people may be frantic at the end and you want each person to get the correct corsage or boutonniere."
