Flower Care & Tips
Your Flower Care Guide| Welcome to Artisan Savant Floristry
Welcome!
If you’re here, chances are you have fresh flowers in your home and excellent taste. At Artisan Savant Floristry, we believe flowers are more than decoration. They are storytellers, mood-lifters, and quiet style statements that bring life and feeling into a space.
Whether you’ve received a hand-tied bouquet or a luxurious arrangement set in a vase or floral foam, these simple care tips will help your flowers look their very best for as long as possible. And if you’re ever unsure, just ask. Sharing floral wisdom is one of my favourite things.
Caring for Hand-Tied Bouquets
1. Trim the stems
Cut 2–3cm from the bottom of each stem at an angle before placing them in water. This helps flowers drink properly.
2. Use clean water and a clean vase
Fresh water every two days works wonders. Bacteria are the enemy of beautiful blooms.
3. Remove foliage below the waterline
Leaves sitting in water shorten vase life and cloud the water.
4. Choose the right spot
Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fruit bowls. Cool and calm wins every time.
5. Let them evolve
Many of our flowers arrive in bud, so you can enjoy watching them open and change. This is not impatience. This is design.
Caring for Arrangements in Floral Foam
• Top up the foam daily with fresh water
• Pour gently into the centre of the arrangement
• Keep away from heat and direct sunlight
• Never let the foam dry out completely
Floral foam arrangements are designed to be enjoyed as they are. Please don’t remove the flowers or rearrange them. They’re already doing their thing beautifully.
When to Say Goodbye
Sad but true. Flowers don’t last forever. When they reach their final curtain call, compost what you can and either reuse or recycle your vase. If you’re feeling creative, drying petals for potpourri or keepsakes is a lovely way to extend the memory.

Love Having Flowers at Home?
If fresh flowers make your space feel calmer, warmer, and more you, The Orangery Registry was created with that in mind.
A monthly bouquet, thoughtfully designed around the season and released in limited numbers. Each arrangement is made to order in our signature garden-led style, with carefully chosen stems that reflect the moment.
No weekly schedules. No overwhelm. Just one considered bouquet each month, available to those on the list.
It’s effortless. It’s beautiful. And it allows flowers to become part of everyday life, not just special occasions.
