How to Prepare & Ship Your Flowers
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
