Bouquet Care Instructions
Your Laurel & Vine Decor bouquet is designed to arrive beautifully styled and ready to display. With simple care and gentle handling, it will continue to bring life and beauty into your space for years to come.
1. Handling & Safety
1. Handling & Safety
Each stem contains a flexible wire core that allows shaping and provides structure. This ensures your bouquet holds its natural, graceful proportions.
Please handle with care, in some cases, a small wire tip may be exposed at the end of a stem. This is normal, but be mindful when arranging to avoid scratches or injury.
2. Shaping & Fluffing

Once your bouquet arrives, remove it carefully from its packaging and gently fluff the petals, leaves, and stems.
Separate each bloom and leaf to create an organic, lifelike shape. You can reference real floral images online to help guide your styling, or watch our short video tutorial on how to fluff your Laurel & Vine Decor bouquet:
To reshape compressed petals, lightly adjust them by hand or use a cool hairdryer setting to relax the material and restore its natural form.
3. Adjusting Height & Arrangement
3. Adjusting Height & Arrangement
Your bouquet is hand-tied and ready to place in a vase of your choice. If you’d like to adjust the height:
Bend the stem ends to shorten them for opaque vases, this allows you to reuse the stems later if you wish to restyle. For transparent vases, you can trim stems with heavy-duty wire cutters. If the stem is thick, gently bend it back and forth at the cut point to snap the wire cleanly. Use caution when cutting to avoid injury.
Style Tip: For a visually balanced look, choose a vase that’s roughly one-third to one-half the height of your bouquet.
For example, a 40" bouquet pairs beautifully with a 12"–20" vase.
These proportions create harmony between the vase and florals, but feel free to experiment and style to your taste.
4. Water & Moisture

Your Laurel & Vine Decor florals are designed to stay beautiful without water.
Do not place stems in water or expose them to moisture, as both the internal wire and exterior materials can become damaged or discolored.
5. Display Environment
5. Display Environment
Your bouquet is best enjoyed indoors. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, as these can cause fading or warping over time.
While outdoor use isn’t recommended, if you do choose to display your arrangement outside, note that it may shorten its lifespan. You can apply a UV-protectant spray to help reduce fading and preserve the color for longer exposure.

6. Cleaning & Maintenance
6. Cleaning & Maintenance
Keep your arrangement looking fresh with light, regular cleaning: Dust occasionally using a soft, dry cloth or feather duster.
For delicate designs, use compressed air or a cool hairdryer setting to remove dust from intricate areas.
For heavier buildup, gently wipe petals and leaves with a slightly damp cloth, then allow them to dry completely before displaying again.
Tip: The hairdryer method also works beautifully to fluff out leaves or petals that may have been compressed during storage.

If a petal or leaf becomes detached, simply pop it back into place if possible. If it cannot be reattached, use a small dab of hot glue to secure it. This quick fix restores your bouquet’s natural appearance with ease.

When not in use, store your bouquet in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes.
Avoid attics or garages, as heat and humidity can cause fading or warping.
