Flowers should last a week or so in normal weather in wet oasis. I wouldn't bother with moss its not worth the hassle!

Wreaths


The flowers in an Oasis wreath should last well over a week. Obviously weather extremes are a consideration, but as long as the flowers are conditioned well and misted it should last. You could tell your client that they will still look good upto seven days and then any longer they will consider to be a bonus and probably come back to you. Do not bother mossing unless you are making a wreath for a biodegradeable tribute using hazel instead of the wire frame.

Good luck.
