Plant Care

Floral Guarantee Policy:

We want you to love your flowers for as long as possible. The most important thing you can do to ensure your floral arrangement's longevity is to add water to it every day. You don’t need to change the water unless it gets murky, but you must top off with water daily. You should not place your flowers in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Most floral arrangements should last a week, and some flowers, such as carnations, alstroemeria, and daisies, can last much longer even up to 3 weeks!
Because we cannot control the care and environment of the floral arrangements after they have been delivered, we have a 24-hour guarantee on our floral arrangements. If you have concerns after the guarantee period is up, please reach out to us, but the decision if a replacement is merited will be solely up to the discretion of the shop.
Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the country. Our experienced Designers take care to maintain the look and feel of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Still, ultimately, it is up to their expert discretion on which substitution will look best. If it is important that we use ( or not use) a particular flower or color, please call to discuss this with us. Additionally, substituting certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays.

Plant Guarantee Policy:

We strive to send out the best possible plants. Our plants are guaranteed for one week after delivery; during this time, we will gladly replace your plant if you have concerns.
Please see below for plant care instructions.
