How can I care and keep my lilies fresh before my event?

When your flowers arrive, they may be slightly wilted when you open them. This is normal, as they are just extremely thirsty! When they arrive, open them up but leave them in the corrugated wrap packaging. Let them hydrate for 1-2 hours in a bucket of water before preparing them for any flower arrangements or flower bouquets! Once they have properly hydrated, keep them in a cool location, change the water, and recut the stems every three days.
