Tulip Bouquets

Tulips or "tulipa" are a bulbous flowering plant. Tulips were brought to Europe from Turkey in the XVI century and today there is a permanent display of them in the Netherlands. They are always associated with spring and they make a wonderful choice of flowers for a spring wedding. Worldwide production makes them available year round, but tulips don´t like the heat. As the temperature rises, tulips open, invert, and loose their petals. However if you have a summer wedding and have your heart set on tulips, they must be kept cool all the time.

When you bring them home, keep the wrapped, cool, expose the ends, give them a fresh cut and set them in water.
