“Merry & Bright” Christmas Collection

Care Guide for the Neill Strain Floral Couture “Merry & Bright” Christmas Collection

Thank you for choosing the Neill Strain Floral Couture “Merry & Bright” Christmas Collection to bring festive elegance to your space. To keep your arrangements looking fresh and vibrant throughout the holiday season, please follow these care instructions.

Please Note: All flowers and foliage are for decorative purposes only and should be kept out of reach of children and pets.

  1. Petite Couture Candle Arrangement
    Care Instructions:
  • Your arrangement is set in a biodegradable foam base. Please top up the water regularly to ensure the foam stays moist.
  • Lightly spray the foliage with fresh water every few days to help retain its freshness.
  • Health & Safety: The taper candles should never be left unattended when lit and must be kept clear of flammable materials.
  • Placement: Avoid placing your arrangement near heat sources, as this will dry out the foliage and shorten its life.
  • Decorative Elements: Baubles and other decorative pieces are reusable; keep them to enjoy in future arrangements.
  1. Long & Low Candle Arrangement
    Care Instructions:
  • Arranged in a biodegradable foam base, so check regularly and top up with water as needed.
  • Spray foliage lightly with fresh water every few days to maintain its vibrancy.
  • Health & Safety: Ensure taper candles are placed away from flammable materials, and never leave them unattended while lit.
  • Placement: Keep your arrangement away from heat sources to prevent drying and extend its life.
  • Decorative Elements: Save baubles and other decorative items for future holiday displays.
  1. Tall Statement Arrangement
    Care Instructions:
  • Set in a biodegradable foam base, which requires regular watering to keep moist.
  • Lightly mist the foliage with fresh water every few days for lasting freshness.
  • Placement: Keep away from direct heat sources to maintain the freshness of the flowers and foliage.
  • Decorative Elements: Retain the baubles and other decorations for future holiday arrangements.
  1. Hand-Tied Bouquet
    Care Instructions:
  • Do not cut the binding cord when unpacking your bouquet. It keeps the arrangement intact.
  • Place the bouquet in a vase of suitable size and depth, and recut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife or floral scissors to improve water absorption.
  • Change the water every 2–3 days, and add fresh flower food to extend the life of the flowers.
  • Placement: Avoid placing near heat sources, which can reduce the bouquet’s longevity.
  1. Phalaenopsis Orchid Planter
    Care Instructions:
  • Please refer to our detailed care guide for orchids on our website: Neill Strain Orchid Care Guide for more information on watering, lighting, and other care requirements to ensure your orchid planter remains healthy and beautiful.
  • Placement: Avoid direct heat sources, as this will dry out the plant and reduce its lifespan.
  1. Fresh Wreath Collection
    Care Instructions:
  • To secure your wreath to the door, we recommend using a small chain and lock (available at most hardware stores) to prevent theft, if needed.
  • For indoor display, mist the foliage regularly with fresh water to maintain its freshness.
  • Placement: If displayed indoors, keep your wreath away from heat sources to help it stay fresh longer.
  • Decorative Elements: Baubles and other decorations are reusable, so please save them for next year’s holiday décor.

Additional Health & Safety:
All flowers and foliage are intended solely for decorative purposes. Please keep these arrangements out of reach of children and pets, as some plants may be harmful if ingested.
