How far in advance should I order for an event?

Substitutions, Returns & Refunds Policy
What is your substitution policy?
Flowers are seasonal, and availability may vary. If a specific bloom is unavailable, we’ll substitute it with a similar flower of equal or greater value to maintain the style and color palette.
What is your return or refund policy?
All sales are final due to the perishable nature of flowers. If you experience any issues, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo of the arrangement, and we’ll make it right with store credit or an appropriate resolution. Proper care of the flowers is required, and it is the recipient's responsibility to follow the care instructions provided.
Flower Care Instructions
How do I keep my flowers fresh longer?
Each order comes with a care guide and a flower food packet. To ensure longevity:
- Trim the stems at an angle.
- Place the flowers in clean, fresh water.
- Keep them out of direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources.
Can I reuse the vase from my order?
Yes! All vases included with your arrangements are reusable and designed to complement any space beautifully.
