If you were lucky enough to receive a beautiful bunch of flowers for Valentine's Day, you probably want to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible.
As much as you want them to, flowers unfortunately don't last forever. But carrying out a few simple steps, from positioning to pruning, will ensure they last for their whole lifespan after you've put them in water.
One florist has revealed her top tips for a long-lasting bunch of blooms, saying that the "basic" tips don't take very long - yet are key for making them last more than a couple of days. Wales Online reports a tip from Jade Robertson from Prestige Flowers who says the first step for a fresh bouquet is where you put them at home.
