Bouquet Packing Instructions

Click here for Word Document to print out

It is best to ship your bouquet Overnight Express, as soon as possible. I need your bouquet within 3-5 days of your wedding. Designate a friend or family member to take care of the shipping for you, especially if you are going to be gone on your honeymoon.
Do not spray your bouquet with water. If the flowers are stuck in foam, you can add some water to the foam, let it sink in, and then pour off the excess.
Store your bouquet in the refrigerator (about 45 degrees) until you are ready to ship. DO NOT STORE IT IN THE FREEZER.
Wrap the bouquet in paper towels or white tissue paper, very carefully.
Label each item, ie: mother's corsage, etc.
Place the wrapped bouquet in a box that is larger than the bouquet. (Styrofoam cooler is best) and pack a lot of crumpled newspaper or white tissue paper all around the flowers to ensure that they do not bounce around in shipment.
Complete the Order Form and enclose a $50.00 deposit. Once I begin your order, this deposit is not refundable.
Contact me to let me know your bouquet is coming, so that I will make sure I am here to receive it. I will be in touch as soon as I receive your flowers to let you know the condition they arrived in.
Now RELAX! In about 2-3 weeks, when the flowers are pressed and dry, I will be in touch to talk about your choice of design, frame, background color. To view choices please click here ~ frames & color choices
The balance will be due upon completion of the art.
