Hi Leslie! Most cut flowers that aren’t watered will start wilting after a few hours. You can cut them before an event and keep them in the fridge (away from fruits and vegetables about 4-6 hours) before your event. Or you could assemble them and spritz them with water. Hope this helps!

Hi Suz! The ones that we purchased on Amazon come in a package of 3. And we did 9 total. You can find acrylic blocks at the craft stores but we’ve had better luck online. You may be able to find them cheaper on ebay. Hope this helps!
