FAQs

Our Flowers

Why do some flowers arrive still in bud?

This is mainly to protect the flowers from being damaged whilst in transit. Certain flowers (such as Carnations, Lilies and Tulips) are sent directly from our growers still in their bud stage, and to prevent any further damage to the flowers whilst in transit we try to keep them in the same stage as when they arrived until they reach your recipient. This is also beneficial for the recipient as it means that they will be receiving the freshest flowers possible and will be able to enjoy them for much longer.

How are the flowers protected whilst in transit?

All of our arrangements are sent in specially designed boxes, with a range of sizes to fit each bouquet. These boxes ensure that the flowers are as snug as possible whilst out for delivery - the way the boxes are designed means that the flowers won't be able to move around whilst in transit, which can cause damage.

Why are certain bouquets not arranged when they are received?

Some of our smaller boxes are designed for the flowers to be packaged in a way that completely protects them, but means they are more likely to incur damage if arranged. With bouquets delivered in these boxes we find that the flowers are safer if we do not professionally arrange them before we pack them. We shoot our bouquets in full bloom to show how lovely they will look when they are fully open and arranged in a vase.

My bouquet looks different to the image online?

The majority of our flowers are sent in bud to maximise vase life and limit damage during their journey, so they may not look quite as expected. Once the blooms have been trimmed and arranged into a vase with water and the solution provided they should start to open over the next few days. The stem count for your chosen arrangement is also included within the bouquet contents on each product page, so if you're missing any stems, please let our Customer Support Team know so we can resolve this for you.

My flowers are in poor condition

We send a lot of our flowers in bud to ensure that you can enjoy them in the home for as long as possible. So if your bouquet arrives looking a little sleepy, simply pop them in fresh water and give them a little time to perk up. If after 24 hours they still don't look right to you, please get in touch with our Customer Support Team.

Looking droopy?

This is normal so if your flowers look sleepy or droopy don't worry! Simply trim the stems and pop them in a vase of fresh water and watch as your blooms unfurl. You'll find helpful care tips included with your flowers.

Broken or damaged stems?

While we do our very best to protect your flowers on their journey to you, very occasionally they can get damaged. Please contact us if you're not happy so we can make this right for you.

Looking squashed?

Some stems can look a little flat on arrival but they are just thirsty. After a big drink and 24 hours you will soon see them bloom!

Roses looking tired?

We intentionally keep the 'guard' petals on our Roses to protect them during their journey to you. These are the oldest and tougher outer petals which can make the flower look tired and brown. Gently remove the outer 2-3 petals to reveal the new and soft petals inside and allow the flower to open up.

What is the difference between standard and letterbox flowers?

Letterbox flowers are delivered in specially designed letterbox friendly packaging that fits through a standard size letterbox, meaning they can still be delivered even if your recipient is out. It's entirely plastic free too! Our standard bouquets are presented in larger boxes which means that your recipient needs to be home to accept the delivery.
