The florist told us to hang my daughter's bouquet upside down. We tied a sturdy ribbon around the area you hold, "stems", and let it hang from a clothes hanger. April will be 3 years and it worked perfectly.

I still have mine from 29 years ago. They live in a box in my closet and I drag them out every blue moon. 😍
