Wrapping a Rose Bouquet Made Easy

Rose bouquets in Singapore are widely known as an expression of love. In fact, they are one of the most popular choices when it comes to romancing a special someone, or for many who just love a classic bloom. While there are countless stores one can purchase readily made rose bouquets, nothing says ‘I love you’, more than receiving a bouquet wrapped specifically by their loved one. With that, this article will teach you how to perfectly wrap a rose bouquet that will surely woo anyone.

How Long Do Wrapped Roses Last?

Freshly cut roses typically last up to one week if properly tended. Upon receiving your rose bouquet, however, you can lengthen the lifespan by making sure to cut the stems before placing them in a vase. It is important to remove at least one inch off the end of the stem and to cut at a 45-degree angle. This slanted cut helps the roses absorb more water and prevent wilting. To maximize the life of your flowers, you can re-trim your stems every few days. This helps keep the stems clean and ensures your blooms stay hydrated.

How Do You Keep a Bouquet Fresh Without Unwrapping It?

Now that you know the important steps to keep your roses fresh and beautiful, it is also important to consider how to keep them alive while still wrapped. The easiest and most immediate solution is to wrap the bottom of the stems with a damp paper towel. To ensure the paper towel doesn’t leak, you can place a sandwich bag around it and secure it with a rubber band. This is a perfect temporary way to ensure your flowers don’t dry out before you are able to place them into a vase. You can also refrigerate your roses as soon as you can. Just as florists keep their flowers in a cold, refrigerated area before they are sold, you can easily do the same for your bouquet. 

Choose Your Materials Wisely

While it may seem like an intimidating task, wrapping your own rose bouquet is actually easy as long as you use your creative imagination. It all boils down to the materials you will need. Make sure to use the following:

• Heavy-duty wrapping paper or Kraft Paper
• Tissue paper
• Clear tape
• Bouquet of flowers
• Ribbon or raffia
• Paper towels
• Sandwich bags

Tools:

• Scissors
• Tape
• Stapler (optional)
