September 12, 2024 BEHIND THE BLOOMS ~ OUR FLOWER CARE JOURNEY | LORETA DAKA FLORAL BOUTIQUE


Join me as I share the dedication and care that goes into every bouquet!

When it comes to sourcing your flowers, I personally take the time to find the freshest and highest quality blooms. For specialty flowers, I work with trusted suppliers and forage locally, depending on the season. It may take a bit more time to secure these unique flowers, but it ensures that every piece is as beautiful and fresh as possible. I also take pride in growing some of our own blooms in my garden and supporting local farmers. I believe flowers should be kept in their natural form, so I avoid painting or coloring them. My focus is on eco-friendly and sustainable practices, ensuring that every bloom is as natural and vibrant as possible.

When the flowers arrive at my studio, they are carefully inspected for quality and freshness. Each bloom is trimmed at an angle to open up the stem and allow for better water absorption. I place them immediately into cool, clean water treated with flower food to extend their life. This step helps ensure that the flowers stay hydrated and healthy during the design process.

After the initial preparation, the flowers are stored in a temperature-controlled refrigerator. This helps preserve their freshness until they are ready to be arranged. Depending on the design, I may let certain flowers 'rest' for a short period to ensure they open just in time for your event. Once I begin designing your arrangements, I take into account any special requests or details we've discussed, allowing for unique customizations. Each arrangement is crafted with attention to the colors, shapes, and overall aesthetic you’re looking for.

Finally, when everything is perfect, I carefully package the flowers to protect them during transport. I handle the delivery myself or work closely with a trusted team to ensure that the flowers arrive at your location in perfect condition, fresh and ready to display. The entire process is managed to guarantee the highest quality and attention to detail from start to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read our blog! I truly appreciate your interest in the journey of our flowers and the care that goes into every step, from arrival to the final arrangement. Your support means a lot to me, and I hope you found the behind-the-scenes look both interesting and informative. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from our floral studio, where we’ll continue to share our passion for creating beautiful, natural arrangements.
