A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

Precious In Pink
Precious in Pink is a mix of pink lilies and roses gift wrap, combined with Prestat's delicious organic milk chocolate wafers infused with Earl Grey tea and a bottle of Contarini brut prosecco.
Pink Gift Wrap
A similar selection to Tickled Pink with the addition of attractive wrapping paper in place of the vase. This gives the bouquet more height, with the raw stems protruding from the base in a hand-tied arrangement.
Prosecco Frizzante Spago, Domenico de Bertiol NV.
Lightly sparkling with a taste all of its own, Prosecco is fast becoming the discerning sparkling wine lover's alternative to champagne. Refreshingly low alcohol (10.5%) and far finer than many more expensive Proseccos. Prosecco is also the principal ingredient of a Bellini so as long as you have some peach juice to mix with it, you're away.
Prestat, Organic milk chocolate wafers
These wafers are handmade so as to be exceptionally thin and contain only the finest ingredients. Infused with Earl Grey tea they add a touch of elegance to this perfect gift. Each pack contains 200g, 7oz, Allergy advice: Contains nuts, milk and soya.
People love to talk about sending flowers, but don't always get round to actually doing it. So send someone a hint to buy you this arrangement. You can also add a message and your name (if you want). Good luck!
Send hint.
Oh THANK YOU!!! A colleague here recommended you as a flower ordering company with that extra difference and you have proved her right! Many many thanks.

Excellent A+++++++
To the great people at Arena Flowers,
My first time as an Arena customer, and certainly won’t be the last. Excellent customer service could not fault it. I ordered flowers from the UK to Holland and communication was terrific with all my many questions being quickly answered and my worries being put to rest. She was delighted with her flowers, they looked even better than those pictured.
Thank you very much,
Ryan C
