Table of Contents Detailed List of Actions Short List of Actions In Conclusion... Flower care upon arrival is the most crucial step to ensure their longevity and freshness for your customers. Knowing how to take of flowers can improve your floral arrangements exponentially. This initial step not only maximizes the lifespan of the flowers but also enhances their appearance, making them more appealing for sale. There are two basic methods for flower processing: the simple way, which involves simple care techniques like cutting stems and hydrating the flowers in clean water, and a more advanced method that uses hormone solutions to boost water absorption and protect against bacteria. Both approaches can play a vital role in maintaining the quality and shelf life of the flowers, giving your customers the best experience possible. The more advanced method of processing wholesale flowers involves using chemical solutions, such as flower food or preservatives, to enhance water uptake and protect against bacteria and fungi. This method is especially beneficial for day-to-day florists who handle a high volume of flowers and need to maintain consistent quality. It’s also ideal for common flowers, like chrysanthemums and gerberas, or more delicate flower varieties, like lilies, which are prone to wilting or bacterial damage. Chemical solutions not only extend the flowers' lifespan by providing nutrients but also help prevent common issues like premature wilting, discoloration, or rotting at the stem base. By using these treatments, florists can ensure their flowers stay vibrant and fresh longer, giving customers a superior product that lasts. Here Is a Detailed List of Actions Clean your product. Leave the grower wrappers on for this, cleaning the foliage of leaves and off shoots one quarter of the stem length up. Cut the tips and hydrate using a hydration chemical like Floralife Hydraflor 100 or QuickDip. This opens the capillary system and allows for uninhibited hydration. For maximum benefit, put the water/hydration mix into the cooler overnight, and dip fresh tips in the cold solution. This bucket can be reused for up to 2 weeks as long as it is kept clean of debris. After several hours/overnight, or until designing, open the packing and clean the stems of any other debris (according to the variety-for hollow stems, be sure to clean most of the leaves off to prevent rot.) Give another fresh cut and place in a holding chemical (like Floralife 200) in the cooler. This bucket can be reused for up to 2 weeks as long as it is kept clean of debris. Keep stems in this solution until designing. When designing, use an opening chemical such as Floralife 300 Chrystal Clear. You can use this when soaking oasis or filling vases. This will kill bacteria and encourage the blooming process. Keep Finishing Touch and Crowning Glory on deck for after designing. Crowning Glory is a sealant, and Finishing Touch provides extra hydration to petals. Short List of Actions While the long version of processing flowers is incredibly beneficial, it is not always necessary, or not always feasible. To ensure your flowers get the best second option-follow the following steps: Cut stem tips and clean leaves off. Place in the cooler for several hours or overnight during water uptake. Keep roses in packing paper for this process, other flowers can be taken out of wrapping. After unwrapping, finish cleaning the stems of excess debris/leaves. Use floral food in a vase when designing. Finish with a finishing spray. In Conclusion... Properly processing your flowers, whether through simple methods like trimming stems and hydrating, or by using hormones and chemicals for added longevity, plays a vital role in maintaining their freshness and beauty for your customers. This care ensures that your flowers remain vibrant, healthy, and appealing, giving you a competitive edge. Additionally, iBuyFlowers ships directly from the farms to your florist, ensuring that your flowers arrive as fresh as possible, with minimal handling. This added freshness, combined with proper processing, enhances the overall value and longevity of your flowers, helping you deliver the best product to your customers every time.

Table of Contents Traditional Uses and Symbolism of Lavender A Look at Other Lavender Flowers and Their Symbolism The Rise of Pastels in Wedding Floral Palettes Lavender for Spring Events and Daily Deliveries Lavender is one of nature's most beloved flowers, captivating florists and flower lovers alike with its delicate appearance and soothing fragrance. Known for its soothing lavender blooms with pastel dainty stems, this flower has deep symbolism, a rich history of use, and continues to be a favorite in floral arrangements, especially for weddings and special events. As a floral wholesale company that connects florists with over 100 farms, we’re excited to dive into everything lavender has to offer—both as a flower and as a color. Traditional Uses and Symbolism of Lavender Lavender is a versatile herb that has been cherished for centuries. Historically, it has been used for everything from culinary purposes to medicinal remedies. Its fragrant oils have been a cornerstone of aromatherapy, prized for their ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Lavender’s calming properties make it ideal for use in herbal teas, bath products, and essential oils, offering relief from anxiety and helping to promote a peaceful night's sleep. In the delicate language of flowers, few blooms speak as softly yet profoundly as lavender. Often linked to purity, serenity, and clarity, lavender has long held symbolic meaning across cultures. Some even consider it a flower of love and devotion, adding emotional depth to its already calming presence. Its signature soft purple hue evokes elegance and grace, qualities that make lavender a timeless choice in floral arrangements, whether for intimate gatherings or grand ceremonies. A Look at Other Lavender Flowers and Their Symbolism While the classic lavender flower is stunning in its own right, it’s far from the only bloom that falls under the lavender category. Several other flowers, each with their unique characteristics, can be found in this delicate color palette, bringing versatility and vibrancy to any floral design. Lavender Roses: A favorite for weddings and romantic occasions, lavender roses symbolize enchantment and love at first sight. Their graceful beauty is perfect for a soft, elegant touch to any bouquet. Milka and Malva Ranunculus: With their velvety petals and rounded shapes, these ranunculus varieties in shades of lavender bring texture and fullness to any floral arrangement, symbolizing charm and radiant beauty. Campanula: Also known as bellflowers, campanulas come in various shades of pastels. Their bell-like form is a symbol of gratitude and compassion, often used to express appreciation. Lavender Mums: Mums in lavender hues convey love and joy, making them ideal for special occasions. Their long-lasting blooms also add a touch of luxury and elegance. Hydrangea: Known for their large, showy blooms, lavender hydrangeas evoke feelings of understanding and emotional clarity, often symbolizing gratitude and grace. Each of these flowers brings its own layer of symbolism and beauty to any bouquet or centerpiece, making them perfect for a variety of occasions, from weddings to daily deliveries. The Rise of Pastels in Wedding Floral Palettes Pastels have been steadily gaining popularity in wedding floral design, and lavender is leading the charge. Soft lavender tones are becoming a staple in the wedding industry, as couples opt for serene, romantic color schemes that evoke calmness and elegance. In 2025, we predict lavender will play a starring role in many wedding palettes, from floral arrangements to centerpieces and even the bridal bouquet itself. Lavender's muted, yet vibrant shade pairs beautifully with other soft pastels like blush pink, mint green, and peach. Its calming nature also contrasts beautifully with darker hues, adding a fresh burst of color without overwhelming the senses. Whether used alone or in combination with other soft colors, lavender brings a touch of sophistication and timeless charm to any wedding design. Lavender for Spring Events and Daily Deliveries As spring approaches, the demand for lavender flowers is expected to soar, not just for weddings, but for all kinds of events. Whether it's for Easter, Mother's Day, or just to brighten up someone's day, lavender is the perfect flower to celebrate the season.

Table of Contents The Charm of Smaller Celebrations Personalization is Key Creating a Lasting Impression with Flowers In Conclusion… In recent years, the trend of micro weddings has been gaining momentum, and it's not hard to see why. Couples are increasingly opting for more intimate celebrations that focus on personal connections rather than extravagant gatherings. As a wholesale flower supplier who sources directly from over 100 farms, we've noticed a significant shift in floral demands, as smaller weddings often feature more unique, tailored floral arrangements that highlight personal style and creativity. Let's explore how this growing trend is shaping the flower industry, and how we can continue to stay profitable while catering to our couples needs. The Charm of Smaller Celebrations Micro weddings, typically defined as having 50 guests or fewer, offer a unique charm that traditional large-scale weddings can't always match. With fewer guests, couples can focus on creating a more meaningful experience, often choosing to host their wedding in intimate locations such as backyards, gardens, or boutique venues. The intimacy of these non-traditional micro weddings open up opportunities to be more thoughtful with wedding details, and one of the most important aspects of this is flowers. Smaller weddings often allow for more elaborate floral displays, showcasing bespoke arrangements that reflect the couple’s personality and theme. This trend is a chance for floral designers to get creative with unusual combinations of flowers, colors, and textures that may not suit a larger, more formal setting. Photo Source: @nikkigibson Personalization is Key One of the biggest advantages of a micro wedding is the ability to truly personalize every aspect of the celebration. For many couples, this means investing in bespoke floral designs that align perfectly with their vision. Whether it’s an elegant bouquet of rare blooms or a rustic table centerpiece made from US grown wildflowers, the flowers chosen for a micro wedding often become a central part of the story. iBuyFlowers' access to over 100 farms offers florists a broad array of options, ensuring that every detail is tailored to the client’s tastes. From floral color palettes to types of flowers and the vessels they are displayed in, personalized floral arrangements add an extra layer of meaning to the celebration. Photo Source: @juleswiththeflowers Creating a Lasting Impression with Flowers While micro weddings are often smaller in scale, they still leave a lasting impression—especially when it comes to the floral arrangements. The flowers at these intimate weddings are often the centerpiece of the event, from the aisle décor to the bride’s bouquet. By sourcing flowers directly from our farms, you are able to offer an impressive array of high-quality, fresh blooms that can stand out to your couples and their guests. With smaller events, floral arrangements tend to be more intricate and detailed, giving florists the opportunity to create jaw-dropping displays that would be difficult to pull off at larger weddings. Photo Source: @juleswiththeflowers In Conclusion… The trend of micro weddings is here to stay, and it’s transforming the way couples approach every aspect of their big day, especially their floral choices. With more focus on personalization, sustainability, and the creation of a unique experience, flowers play a central role in making these intimate celebrations truly unforgettable. At iBuyFlowers, we’re excited to be part of this growing trend, helping you create the perfect floral arrangements for these special celebrations. If you're planning a micro wedding, remember that the flowers you choose will be an important part of the memory—let's make them bloom in a way that reflects your client’s vision.
