Flower Care
- Flowers are perishable, fresh products and need to be cared for accordingly. We have a 48-hour freshness guarantee. If your flowers die/wilt within 48 hours, we will happily replace them within reason. We are trained florists, and as such, are able to discern whether flowers were properly cared for after leaving our studio.
- Replace with fresh water daily if possible. Every other day is okay, but we highly recommend daily. Use this opportunity to clean or swap out your vase.
- Trim the ends at a 45 degree angle with clean, sharp shears.
- Remove any foliage below/touching the water line. Foliage in water breeds bacteria and will lead to early wilting.
- Keep away from: fires/open flames, heat sources, drafts/air conditioners, windows with direct sunlight, and fresh fruit (specifically lemons, limes and apples).
- If you have pets or children, make sure your flowers are placed in a safe space for them.
Flower Packaging
Your flowers will arrive wrapped in waterproof tissue and Kraft paper. Unless you opt for a vase, your flower stems will be wrapped in a plastic bag of water for hydration.
