MUSINGS VOL. I

By Dara Connell
MUSINGS VOL. I

When we think of Valentine's Day, we recall paper streamers, valentine exchanges at the lunch table, and surprise treats from secret admirers. Our Puppy Love collection aims to bring back the charm and whimsy of Valentine's past with a surprising arrangement in pastel hues. The recipient of our floral topiaries will enjoy fresh blooms that also dry beautifully to create a centerpiece that can be enjoyed for all of spring!

The blooms in our topiaries are arranged in a floral foam called Oasis. Prior to arranging, we soak the Oasis in a water solution mixed with flower food. Depending on environmental conditions (please avoid excessive heat and direct sunlight), Oasis will remain moist for up to a week. We recommend misting your arrangement daily to keep the blooms fresh for as long as possible. 

When the oasis begins to dry, please do not attempt to re-soak. The water will not absorb evenly and may even cause the foam to disintegrate. Instead, place your topiary in a dark, cool spot in the house. Over the next two to three weeks, you'll see your topiary begin to dry. Once completely dry, mist blooms with Ultra UV Floral Protectant (works on both faux and dried flowers) to prevent fading and damage by moisture or sunlight. Your dried arrangement can now be safely moved anywhere in the home!
