All the flowers to be worn and carried should arrive on the morning
of your wedding boxed, well sprayed and covered with cellophane for
protection. The florist will be able to offer you advise about how
to unpack the flowers.
Store the flowers out of the reach of children and animals, and avoid
the temptation to keep touching them. Keep them in a cool place that
is out of direct sunlight. A garage is a suitable place, but a fridge
may be too cold.

should be distilled if your local tap water is very hard, since hard
water leaves unsightly lime or chalky deposits as it dries.
