After receiving a beautiful floral corsage, you may wonder which wrist to wear it on. Check out this video for tips and be confident on prom night.
As this video explains, it’s generally a good idea to wear the corsage on the hand opposite of your dominant hand. This is simply because of practicality when eating, drinking, and shaking hands. Or, you may wish to wear your corsage on the side opposite of your date’s boutonniere so that they do not entangle when dancing. However, there is no one right answer, so whatever is most comfortable for you is best.
Call Connells Maple Lee Flowers & Gifts at (614) 808-1693 if you need a wrist corsage for prom. We can help you choose the right type of flowers, ribbon, and even glitzy accessories for your corsage. Call or visit our website today!

Floral Preservatives: What they Are and How to Use Them Effectively
When you order fresh flowers from you local florist, they will arrive in a special mixture of water and floral preservative. This preservative is essential for keeping your flowers fresh for as long as possible. Read on to discover exactly what this mixture is and how you should use it to keep flowers bright and beautiful.
What is Floral Preservative?
Floral preservative is a powdered or liquid solution that dissolves in water. This solution usually contains a mixture of microorganism inhibitor, a sucrose solution, and a respiratory inhibitor. When a flower is removed from the mother plant, its connection to food, water, and energy is severed. A floral preservative is specially engineered to provide a replacement for the essential elements the flower can no longer obtain naturally. It also helps to prevent premature decay and balance the acidity of the water.
How Do I Use Floral Preservatives?
If you’ve ever purchased wrapped bouquets of flowers, you may have noticed the packet of powder that comes with them. This is the preservative. With arranged flowers, the preservative is already in the water. However, your florist may provide an additional supply of the preservative with arranged flowers. The first step is to talk to your florist about obtaining a few packets of the preservative to use for the duration of your flowers’ life.
To use the preservative, add the entire packet to a jar of warm water and stir gently. It should dissolve easily. Use this mixture to water your floral arrangement and change the water completely every other day or so. If you take your flowers out of water in order to change the water, cut about half an inch off the bottom of the stems at an angle before placing them back in the container.

4 Excellent Tips for Sending Flowers Long Distance
Sending flowers is a wonderful way to let someone know you care and to help brighten a loved one’s day. Giving flowers to a friend or family member who lives locally is easy, but you may have wondered how to send flowers to a special someone who lives far away.

You can also pay instantly, which may allow for same-day delivery to your recipient. You can call the florist to arrange for same-day delivery when available.
- Remember that some flowers are seasonal: Even if your special someone loves gladioli, this flower may not be at its freshest and most beautiful at any given time of the year. Since spring has arrived, now is the perfect time for cheery tulips and fragrant hyacinths. Peonies also put in their seasonal appearance in spring. Roses, orchids, and lilies should be bright and fresh all year round.
- Plan ahead: For long-distance delivery of holiday flowers for Easter or Mother’s Day, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Mark your calendar a week before the big event to be sure your flowers make it to their special destination.
