To achieve the best possible preservation results, it’s important that your flowers arrive fresh and in good condition. Please follow these steps carefully when preparing your bouquet for shipping.

🌸 Step 1: Act Quickly

Ship or drop off your flowers as soon as possible after your event (ideally within 1–3 days).

  • Keep stems in water until you are ready to pack
  • Store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight
  • Do not freeze your flowers

✂️ Step 2: Prepare Your Bouquet

  • Remove any excess water from the stems
  • Trim stems to a manageable length if needed
  • Remove wilted or damaged petals
  • Keep the bouquet intact if possible (this helps with design)

🧻 Step 3: Wrap the Flowers

  • Gently wrap the stems with a slightly damp paper towel
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a bag to retain moisture
  • Wrap the entire bouquet loosely in dry paper or tissue for protection

⚠️ Do not soak the flowers—too much moisture can cause mold during shipping.

📦 Step 4: Pack Securely

  • Use a sturdy box with enough space around the bouquet
  • Cushion with packing paper (not loose items that shift easily)
  • Ensure flowers are snug and won’t move around

💡 Tip: You can secure stems to the bottom of the box to prevent shifting.

🚚 Step 5: Ship Your Flowers

  • Use a fast shipping method (1–2 day delivery recommended)
  • Ship early in the week (Monday–Wednesday) to avoid weekend delays
  • Mark the box: “Fragile – Perishable”

📝 Step 6: Include Your Information

Inside the box, include:

  • Your name
  • Order number
  • Contact information
  • Event date

📍 Local Drop-Off

If you are local, drop-off instructions will be provided after purchase.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • The condition of your flowers upon arrival directly affects the final result
  • Some flowers preserve better than others
  • While every effort is made to maintain color and shape, natural changes may occur during drying
