After the day

Care, groom, store, re-use.

Real-touch silk and latex hold their shape and colour for 5+ years with basic care. Six short steps — three for the day, three for after — that keep them studio-fresh.

  1. Unpack carefully

    Open every box flat (not tipped on its side). Lift bouquets out by the bound stem, never by the petals.

  2. Steam the creases out

    Hold the bent area 10 cm above a kettle spout for 8–10 seconds. The latex relaxes and the stem reshapes by hand.

  3. Groom before photos

    Hand bouquets to bridesmaids 30 minutes before getting-ready photos. The five-minute fluff makes the biggest visual difference.

  4. Pack with the originals

    Keep the boxes and packing paper. After the day, repack pieces upright in the original boxes for storage.

  5. Dust twice a year

    A microfibre cloth and a hairdryer on the cool setting. No water, no chemicals — just a gentle pass over each stem.

  6. Re-style for anniversaries

    Bouquets pull apart into individual stems for vase arrangements. Bridesmaids often gift them back as anniversary décor.
