FloraLife Clear Crowning Glory - Liquid Shield Finishing Spray - 32fl oz

My daughter's wedding was Saturday evening, and we made the bouquets and memory table floral-ringed lantern that morning. The flowers and greenery were bulk floral purchases from membership big-box stores, and they arrived Tuesday and Wednesday before the wedding. As they arrived, we trimmed the stems and placed them in buckets with water + FloraLife Flower Food Powder according to the directions on the jar. At first the water was cloudy after stirring, but after a few minutes it became clear. The morning of the wedding, we prepared a deep pot with fresh water + FloraLife powder (if you're doing a lot of florals buy a second jar of FloraLife Flower Food powder--we needed two jars; it went fast). We soaked bouquet holders that had wet floral foam centers and 6-inch wet floral foam disks in the pot, one at a time. Before inserting each stem into the soaked foam we dipped them in FloraLife Quick Dip 100 for one second. It was extremely easy to dip the stems as we went along, and there's still plenty of Quick Dip left even after dipping hundreds of stems (you'll probably just need one bottle). After the bouquets and centerpieces were completed, they were sprayed with FloraLife Crowning Glory Solution. They looked pretty wet at first but dried quickly. I suggest spraying Crowning Glory outside or over a protected surface because there is overspray. Even though we did a lot of arrangements, we've still got plenty of Crowning Glory left in the one bottle we bought. We were worried that some of the heavier stems would fall out as the bride and her attendants walked down the aisle, so Oasis Floral Adhesive was applied a few hours before the ceremony. The tube was easy to squeeze and wiggle in the arrangements to where the stems met the wet foam. The glue was clear and a little runny (have a paper towel on hand), but we were able to make quick work of securing the larger flowers in the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets; the adhesive dried within an hour. Not a flower fell during the entire evening or the days after, so the Oasis Floral Adhesive did it's job. I'm not sure which product or products we owe our phenomenal success to, but wow, it's over three days later and the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid's bouquet, and centerpiece we brought home still look great! They've had nothing else done to them, not even water added to the floral foam; we just have them displayed on tables in the house (see photos). They look as fresh as when we made them over 80 hours ago. Can't overstate how well the products worked for us, and if we had to do it over again, we would confidently get the florals finished the day before the wedding to give us more time for other items on our to-do list the day of the wedding.

I use this with all my flower arrangements . It really does help with the longevity of the flowers !

Looking forward to trying it.

Product works great

preserving wedding flowers but heck how can you tell if it really preserves fresh flowers, I mean you make the bouquets etc a day or two before the wedding and most cut flowers can last that long so is it REALLY "preserving" them-idk and it's expensive!

Excelente

Crowning glory is amust for all flower arrangers to keep flowers looking fresh for an extended period of time. The first time I used it, I knew this was a must for me to have in my cabinet. If you. love flower arrangements and want them to last a few more days than usual, this is a must.

Product works great

I just did all the flowers for my nieces wedding. Lots of white calla lilies and the ones that were sprayed with crowning glory stayed perfect and still looked perfect Sunday afternoon after a hot day outside on Saturday. The flowers without it turned brown on the edges. I made the calla boutonnieres and bouquets on Friday afternoon and generously sprayed the flowers before and then again after. My only regret is that I ran out of product - it doesn't go as far as you'd think - and there was a noticeable difference between callas with spray and w/o. I did the cascading bridal bouquet last and ran out... everyone's callas were perfect except the bride's where I ran out of spray

This spray works really well my flowers lasted close to two weeks after using it.

Flowers loves it!

This is a great spray for hydrangeas and flowers. It gave the blooms a sparkle and helped to keep them looking healthy throughout the wedding weekend!

Purchased flowers on June 6 and still have them in vase and just started to wilt June 20. Highly impressed.
