Will Travel for Flowers: Tips on Traveling with Fresh Cut Flower

Traveling with fresh cut flower arrangements can be a delightful way to bring beauty with you, whether you're heading to an event, visiting loved ones, or simply brightening up your space at your destination. Here are some practical tips to ensure your flowers arrive in perfect condition.

Purchase our Joy Jars from our Flower Cart Stand for Easy Transport

Our small jars, known as "Joy Jars", are designed to fit perfectly in your car's cup holder. This makes them an excellent choice for transporting smaller bouquets. Simply place the Joy Jar in the cup holder, ensuring it’s stable and won’t tip over during your journey.

Keep Flowers Cool and Hydrated

Flowers thrive in cooler temperatures. During transport, aim to keep your flowers as cool as possible. Place them out of direct sunlight, and if you can, keep the air conditioning on in your vehicle. Once you reach your destination, top off the water to keep the flowers hydrated. 

Consider Buckets for Larger Arrangements

For larger bouquets buckets are a fantastic solution. You can place these buckets on the floor in the backseat or in the hatchback of your SUV. Line the bucket with a towel to keep the arrangement in place, cushioning during the trip. To maximize vase life, avoid leaving the flowers in your vehicle with the engine turned off, especially in our warm Georgia weather.

Refresh Your Flowers Upon Arrival

If your flowers look a bit weary after the journey, give them a quick pick-me-up. Trim the stems at an angle and place them in fresh water with a dash of flower food. For an extra boost, you can even pop them in a 42-degree fridge for a few minutes or overnight. This can help revive and extend the life of your blooms.

The Benefits of Prearranged Bouquets

Opting for a prearranged bouquet over a bouquet in a sleeve has its advantages. Prearranged bouquets are always in water, which keeps them fresher for longer. This means your flowers will look vibrant and healthy from the moment you pick them up until they reach their final destination.
