Beautiful Florals Deserve Thoughtful Care

A little care today helps preserve the beauty of your arrangement for seasons to come.

At Designs by Sonya, every handcrafted floral arrangement is thoughtfully created to bring lasting beauty to its intended setting.

Whether you're displaying a seasonal centerpiece, decorating your home, celebrating a special occasion, or honoring a cherished memory, proper placement and gentle care can help maintain your arrangement's appearance.

✨ Choosing the Perfect Location

• Select a location that complements your arrangement's size, shape, and intended purpose.
• For indoor arrangements, choose a stable surface away from excessive heat, moisture, and prolonged direct sunlight.
• For outdoor and cemetery arrangements, consider exposure to wind, rain, sunlight, and changing weather conditions.
• Not all artificial floral materials are designed for outdoor use. Please review your individual product description for recommended placement.

✨ Cemetery & Memorial Placement

• Our cemetery and memorial florals are designed with thoughtful attention to their intended presentation.
• Depending on the design, arrangements may be created for cemetery vases, headstones, memorial displays, or other remembrance settings.

Before placement:

• Confirm the arrangement is compatible with the intended vase, monument, or display area.
• Follow all cemetery regulations regarding floral decorations, attachment methods, and seasonal removal.
• Ensure the arrangement is securely positioned to reduce the risk of movement or tipping.
• Check outdoor arrangements periodically for weather-related wear or loosening.

Cemetery regulations vary by location, and some facilities restrict certain decorations or attachment methods.

✨ Indoor Floral Arrangements

• Our indoor florals can bring beautiful color and texture to tables, entryways, mantels, and decorative displays.
• Place your arrangement on a level, stable surface with adequate space for its full dimensions.
• Avoid positioning delicate flowers or decorative elements where they may be crushed, pulled, or frequently disturbed.
• For arrangements featuring removable accessories or decorative containers, handle each component according to its intended use.

✨ Outdoor & Seasonal Displays

• Artificial florals may experience fading, discoloration, or deterioration when exposed to prolonged sunlight, moisture, wind, or extreme temperatures.
• Even arrangements intended for outdoor display benefit from sheltered placement whenever possible.
• During severe weather, consider temporarily relocating removable arrangements to a protected area when practical.
• Outdoor durability varies according to the materials used and environmental conditions.

✨ Gentle Cleaning & Maintenance

To help keep your florals looking their best:

• Remove surface dust with a soft brush, microfiber cloth, or gentle burst of cool air.
• Support delicate stems and blossoms while cleaning.
• Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, soaking, or excessive moisture.
• Gently reshape flexible stems or foliage if they shift during handling.
• Inspect decorative accents and attachment points periodically.

Avoid pulling forcefully on flowers, greenery, or embellishments, as this may loosen their attachments.

✨ Storing Seasonal Arrangements

• When your seasonal display is ready to be stored, choose a clean, dry location away from extreme temperatures and excessive humidity.
• Use a sturdy container large enough to accommodate the arrangement without compressing its flowers or foliage.
• Protect delicate accents with appropriate cushioning, and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
• Before displaying the arrangement again, gently fluff and reposition any flexible stems that may have shifted during storage.

✨ A Note About Decorative Accessories

• Some floral designs may feature candles, lighting, containers, or removable decorative components.
• Use only the accessories identified as suitable for your specific arrangement.
• Never place an open flame near artificial flowers, greenery, ribbons, or other decorative materials.
• For arrangements featuring flameless LED candles, follow the candle manufacturer's battery and operating instructions.

✨ Every Arrangement Is Unique

• Materials, construction, dimensions, intended placement, and included accessories vary throughout our floral collection.

Please review your individual product description for specific details about your selected arrangement.
