Packing instructions

Please note in person drop offs must be pre-arranged

 Before you start preparing your flowers it is important to remember I preserve flowers in the condition they are in when they arrive to me, not how they were when they were fresh.

1. Leaving your bouquet intact, cut the end of each stem at a 45 degree angle. Then let the flowers sit in fresh water for 10 minutes to hydrate them for the journey before continuing.

2. Take them out of the water and wrap the ends of the stems in damp kitchen roll, ensure the ends are covered at the bottom so the flowers can drink the moisture if needed. Only wrap the stems, not the entire flower. Secure this in place with kitchen foil

3. Place these in a tall box and use scrunched up newspaper or kitchen roll to pad out any negative space. DO NOT use bubble wrap or any plastic as this can cause the flowers to sweat and accelerate moulding. Your bouquet should travel in an upright position.

​• Smaller blooms for smaller orders can be banded together and placed in a strong sturdy box.

4.​ On a piece of paper write your full name that you used when placing the order (note this may be your maiden name) so I can identify them.

5. Please write FRAGILE FRESH FLOWERS on the box.

​6. Take to the post office and ask for a next day guaranteed service (before 1pm only not 9am as I am always on a school run before 9am), this should cost around £11-£14 depending on the size of the box
