They'll be fine wihtout, as long as you process them correctly once you get them. As soon as you get your flowers, cut the stems and put in room temp water, and let them drink for a while. Once your bouquet is done, re-cut stems to even length, but leave them longer than needed, so your ribbon doesn't get wet. Most flowers, except for tropicals, will stay freshest at between 38-42 degrees, so clean out the fridge and put your blooms in there! (never put flowers in with apples or anything else that give of ethylene gas). Recut the stems to desired length just before you go down the aisle. :) For centerpieces, sicne you will run out of room in your fridge, try a dark basement or garage, and get it as cool as possible in there.
