let’s begin.
start by filling a vase with fresh, room temperature water.
empty your black bucket, laying all your flowers & greenery on a table or counter. dispose of the water.
using your now empty black bucket to catch all the waste, clean each stem by removing the leaves and give each stem a fresh trim.
from here, you can either start designing right away or allow your stems to rest in the fresh water until you’re ready. just make sure the flowers are not out of water longer than 20 minutes!
