Question 11

How can I ensure I'm choosing the right size of bouquet or arrangement?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right size is mostly about the occasion and where the flowers will be displayed.

For birthdays and thank-you gifts, a medium hand-tied arrangement usually gives a fuller look without being too large for easy gifting.

Question 13

How do you handle delivery issues - what if the address is hard to find or access is limited?

Accepted Answer

If access is limited - such as gated entrances, shared courtyards, or buildings with multiple entrances - we'll need clear delivery instructions. After you place your order, double-check the postcode, house number, and any access details like gate codes or where the recipient should meet the courier. If you're delivering near a local landmark or along busier roads, it can help to include a brief note for the driver.

Question 14

Can you help with bouquet care after delivery - how long will they last and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

To help your bouquet last, a few simple steps make a big difference. First, trim the stems at an angle (about 1-2cm) using a clean pair of scissors, then place the flowers in fresh water straight away. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria. Keep the arrangement in a cool spot away from direct sun, heaters, and draughts. If the bouquet is hand-tied, gentle misting may help certain blooms, but avoid soaking delicate petals. If you received the flowers in protective packaging, open it carefully and don't leave the flowers sealed for long once indoors. Our florists use professional techniques to condition and secure stems for transit, and the results typically last several days depending on the flower type. For best results, follow the care tips included with your order.
