Description
You can buy beautiful flowers and still lose them. A delivery signed for without checking, foliage left below the waterline, a bucket that has not been washed, a warm room the night before a hot Saturday — any of these will cost you blooms that were perfect when they arrived.
The Flower Conditioning & Care Guide is the studio process behind flowers that hold. It gives you the actual numbers: water temperatures, water depths, storage temperature, and how long a wedding-sized delivery really takes to process. Then it turns them into a plan you can print and work through hour by hour.
What is inside
- What conditioning actually does, and why the first two hours matter most
- A five step delivery receiving process, including what to check before you sign
- A printable delivery check-in sheet for stems ordered against stems received

- Water temperature and depth rules, with a handling table for ten flower groups
- Flower food dosing, bucket hygiene and water changing
- Cool storage temperatures, ethylene traps and what must stay out of the cooler
- How to open tight blooms on purpose, and how to hold them back
- A day-by-day care plan from seven days out to on site
- Rescue steps for wilted stems, plus a conditioning checklist and care log
Who it is for
Wedding florists, studio assistants and freelancers, growers selling to weddings, and anyone building their first floral workflow who wants it right from the start.
After you use it, your flowers arrive checked, get processed in the right order, and reach the wedding at exactly the stage you planned. Less wastage, fewer emergencies, better photographs.
