Centrepieces

Jade, on August 26, 2019 at 00:35 Posted in DIY 0 4

Does anyone know how long Orchids will last in water? For centrepieces I am wanting to put orchids in cylinder votives filled with water and then floating candles on top, but I am unsure how long they will last in the water before they start to wilt.

    From what I know about orchids they actually do best out of water. Theyre technically airplants so too much water causes them to rot. At least when they’re still attached to a plant. I help my sister who is a florist and we just did a huge wedding with purple orchids. They’re a lot less delicate then I imagined but I did notice They perked up not long after we took them out of water. You’ll be okay if your arranging them day of/day before

    That's great! Thanks so much! I will ask the florist as well but good to hear they should last around a week 😊

    I'm not using real flowers so I can't say for sure - but I would think just like any other flower when you cut it and put it in a vase it will last at least a week? It all depends on the environment it would be in before you place them in the water and then during. Best bet I've seen here on wedding wire for other flower questions would be to call up the florists that you are getting quotes from and see what they say.
