    <description><![CDATA[A dried flower arrangement, looked after properly, can last two to three years before it starts to look genuinely tired. Most dried flowers that fade or fall apart early do so because of humidity, direct sunlight, or being handled too much. None of those are difficult to avoid once you know what to watch for.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most cut flowers die early because of two things: bacteria in the water and air in the stems. Both are preventable.

    <description><![CDATA[The most common mistake people make with event flowers is leaving the enquiry too late. Not because florists are fully booked months in advance (though in peak season that does happen), but because good event floristry requires time to source specific stems, test combinations, and plan logistics.
