I have to pick up my wedding flowers the day before the wedding travel about 2 hours to my wedding venue and than store for the next day. I tried asking my wedding coordinate r about holding my flowers in the hotel fridge but she said no !Smiley sad now I have no idea what to do I have orchids roses and hydrangeas in the bouquet. Please any advise or tips would be great!

    I hope it all works out. I just wanted to give you my one piece of flower-related-advice. Have whoever picks up your flowers *count the bouts and corsages*! My sister was in a wedding where they were in one corsage, I was shorted one bout, and I know several others on here have mentioned it. So double check!

    I had a similar situation with my bouquet. I put a little bit of water in the bottom of a small plastic garbage can. I kept the room cool overnight and my flowers were fine the next day. I hope you figure something out. Could you give everyone in the BP their flowers the night before and they can keep them in the fridge wherever they are staying. That might help a little bit.

    Your wedding coordinator didn't have any other advice or suggestions for you regarding this?

    Will you be staying at the hotel that night? If so, bring some warm jammies and crank that AC in your room. They should be okay. Your room may have a fridge as well that the bouts might fit in.

    They will be fine. Make sure they are in plenty of cool water. Refrigerators that aren't made for flowers can actually make them wilt faster, since they pull moisture out of the air.

    If it were me I'd get a big cooler and pack it with sealed ice packs so they don't get the flowers wet.

    I agree with Mallori's advice, you don't need a refrigerator. Keep them in water and they'll be fine for a day. You can add a bit of ice to the water if you're really concerned that they're opening too much.

    Thank you ladies I was so scared. All that money would go down the drain.

    Hi Janisse! I'm planning my wedding and am finding myself in the same situation! How did everything work out with your flowers? What worked best for you?

    Thanks,
