The flowers were stored in the photographer's studio, some in the 'fridge and some in a cool, dark room. Some flowers need to be stored *cold*, others don't. It's important to learn how your flowers need to be stored before you buy them. Your florist (or whomever you buy your blooms from) should be able to guide you on proper care for each type of flower you buy. If they can't answer - don't buy from them. I know of brides who've successfully stored flowers in cool garages or spare bathrooms overnight. Since the flowers were at the studio, I didn't need to transport them. However, the best way to transport is in a climate-controlled vehicle (meaning air-conditioned) with a large, flat surface to hold all the arrangements. (i.e. a van or SUV) with fold-down seating and a non-slip mat underneath the boxes or whatever you're carrying the flowers in. Car trunks can get too hot (especially in summer months), even on short drives. rzlna, it wasn’t for a wedding but for projects for my book.
