Orders are arranged by trained florists, packed for safe transport, and delivered within precise local time windows.

Question 2

Do you offer same day and next day flower delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Same day delivery is available and nearby postcodes when you order by 2 pm, Monday to Saturday. Next day delivery runs seven days a week, subject to stock. Choose timed delivery windows where possible for homes, offices, and venues. Need something urgent or after hours? Call to check driver availability. We confirm by text or call once delivered. Order early for peak dates like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

Question 3

How do you keep flowers fresh and safe during delivery?

Accepted Answer

We use professional floristry methods and equipment: chilled storage at 5 to 7 C, hydration packs or aqua boxes, breathable sleeves, and shock absorbing wraps for delicate blooms. Arrangements travel upright in secured crates within temperature controlled vehicles. Routes are optimized to minimize time out of water. On arrival, we provide easy care tips to help stems last. This approach protects fragile flowers and ensures they reach Whickham addresses in perfect condition.

Question 4

What professional accreditations do your florists hold?

Accepted Answer

Our senior florists are City and Guilds Level 3 trained and we are members of the British Florist Association. We follow Good Florist Guide standards for conditioning, design, and customer care. Certificates and membership numbers are available on request for peace of mind. This recognised training underpins our design quality, flower handling, and safe delivery practices. If you have a specific design brief, ask for a trained florist consultation before ordering.

Question 5

Are your flower deliveries insured and legally compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold public and product liability insurance up to 5 million GBP and our vehicles carry courier insurance for goods in transit. We comply with UK consumer law, GDPR, and PCI DSS for secure card payments. If a gift includes alcohol, we operate Challenge 25 and deliver to adults only. Proof of insurance or policies is available on request. Your order is protected from preparation to delivery. Contact us for details.

Question 6

Can you deliver to hospitals, offices, and schools around Whickham?

Accepted Answer

We deliver to most workplaces and institutions in and around Whickham. For hospitals, we check ward rules, avoid restricted flowers such as lilies where necessary, and include compact vases for convenience. Offices and schools receive deliveries during reception hours with recipient name and department clearly labeled. If access is limited, we will arrange a suitable time window or meet at reception. Add any delivery notes at checkout or when you call.

Question 7

What if the recipient is not at home when my flowers arrive?

Accepted Answer

If no one is home, we follow your instructions first, then attempt safe alternatives: leave with a neighbor, place in a sheltered safe place, or arrange a free redelivery slot the same or next day. We add a delivery card and send a confirmation. All items are kept hydrated during any wait. If weather is extreme or a safe place is not available, we return flowers to our shop for care and redelivery.

Question 8

Do you create wedding, funeral, and event flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our experienced team designs bridal bouquets, venue flowers, funeral tributes, and corporate event arrangements with full delivery and on site setup in Whickham. We offer mood boards, sample stems, and clear timelines. Hardware such as stands and vases can be hired, and we advise on seasonal, cost effective choices. Dates book quickly in peak months, so request a consultation to secure your slot and tailored quote.

Question 9

Are there eco friendly or affordable bouquet options near me?

Accepted Answer

We offer seasonal, locally sourced stems when available, recyclable paper wraps, and reusable vases to reduce waste. Choosing in season flowers keeps costs down while improving freshness. Our florist choice bouquets provide the best value, with sizes to suit most budgets. Ask for no plastic options or pet friendly selections. Tell us your target price and preferred colors and we will design something beautiful and sustainable for Whickham delivery.

Question 10

How do I place an order and add special delivery instructions?

Ordering is simple. Choose your bouquet size and color palette, add a message card, and include any details such as gate codes, leave with neighbor, or no lilies. Select your Whickham delivery date and preferred time window. For custom designs or large orders, call for a quick consultation. We confirm receipt and delivery status.
