Shipping Your Flowers
Here are simple instructions for sending your flowers to me to be preserved for life!
1
If you can, deconstruct your bouquet by taking the ribbon and floral tape off of the bouquet. Place the flowers as flat as possible and cut an inch or so off the ends of your flowers at a diagonal with sharp scissors.
2
Wrap a damp paper towel around the bottom of the stems, covering completely.
3
Wrap the wet paper towel in plastic wrap and secure with a rubber band.
4
Fill a shipping box half way up with packing peanuts. Lightly wrap your bouquet in bubble wrap or newspaper and place stems down into the packing peanuts. Do not tightly wrap your bouquet in plastic. Your flowers will rot! Lightly wrap just for padding.
5
Fill the rest of the box with packing peanuts so that no movement can occur but not so much that the flowers get crushed. Include your confirmation email on the top.
6
Secure the top with packing tape. Write FRAGILE in big block letters with a black sharpie (or use fragile stickers) on all sides of the box. Overnight your bouquet to me, along with your confirmation email.
A few more tips:
Please overnight your bouquet as quickly as possible. If you are getting married on a Saturday, this will mean that you will need to wait until Monday to ship. If you ship on Saturday/Sunday the flowers will sit in a warehouse and die.
Keep the flowers in a cooler and hydrated until you are ready to ship.
If you have large blooms or especially fragile flowers, consider putting floral tubes (available online or from a florist) with water on the bottom of those stems. Make sure to tape the tubes tightly around the stem so that the water doesn’t leak out.
Do not send anything that you will want back. This could be anything attached to your bouquet, like ribbon, picture or sentimental object.
Do not send extra or excessive amounts of flowers, as it is costly, we won’t need them to create your artwork and I will not return them.
