what about the way they are displayed in the stores, Make a chicken wire screen column and stick them in it . That way you can organize them by color and size.

My mother used to hang them upside down as well as store upright. Depending on the size, she would either stuff the stems into florist's foam or clay that she had mounted onto cardboard or hangers coat hangers. Larger ones she would hang from clothes pegs. She would glue snap-close pegs on boards that ran floor to ceiling, placing the pegs so the zig zagged on the boards in order to place more flowers. Some smaller bunches of flowers she would protect with a thin, inexpensive shower cap (that she collected from hotels). To store them upright, the florist's foam or clay works, and then cover them with one of those clear plastic zippered containers/bags that bedding/blankets/comforters usually comes in, with the zipper on top for easy access.

String them up. Run a wire or cord across the run and hang the flowers upside down on the line. They will be easy to see and stay in shape.
