Baby's breath lasts forever! We still have some in little apothecary jars on our mantle from Valentines day without any water. So I think you'll be okay with 12 hours.

I would think so...I think it would look perfect at your venue too!

Oh, definitely! As long as its not baking out in the sun, it'll hold up just fine! :)

Oh for sure! If you just left it up, it would probably end up drying beautifully too!

I'll agree with everyone above, seeing as I have little to no experience with flowers. My suggestion before I read all the comments was going to be to maybe spritz it every once in a while, if you get a chance?

But I think the real question is: Will it blend?

Haha sorry I couldn't resist.

i'll just reiterate what was already said but baby's breath really does last a long time. you should be golden if it's only out of water for 12hrs.

Oh so pretty, I think it will last.

The instructions say: "To keep your garland fresh, coil it up, mist it lightly with water, and place it inside a plastic garbage bag. Put it in your refrigerator, or in the coolest spot available. It should stay fresh for 24-48 hours depending where you keep it."

So I'd say a little TLC in the storage and you're golden. :)
