Caring for Your Flower Delivery: Tips for Longer-Lasting Blooms

So, you've just received a delightful flower delivery! But before you can fully enjoy your fresh flowers, there are a few expert tips and tricks to help you make them last longer and keep them looking their best!

Unleash the Beauty of Your Fresh Flowers 🌼

As soon as your bouquet arrives, take it out of its packaging. Untie those stems and allow your fresh blooms to breathe freely!

Trim and Tidy Your Bouquet 🌿

Give your flower stems a fresh start by trimming them at a 45º angle using a sharp pair of scissors or garden shears. Also, remove any excess leaves. This step will help your cut stems absorb water more effectively!

Quench Their Thirst with Flower Food 💦

Prior to filling your vase with water, make sure it's clean and free from bacteria. Fill the vase halfway with room temperature water and add the flower food packet that comes with your bouquet. This helps keep your flowers hydrated, nourished, and looking vibrant and fresh. Remember, flower food is your ally!

The Perfect Spot for Freshness ☀️

Once your beautiful cut flowers are in lukewarm water, find a cozy spot in your home for your bouquet. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Your blooms will appreciate a comfortable environment just as much as you do!

Avoid Ethylene and Pet Mishaps 🍎🐶

Keep your bouquet away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas, as they can cause your flowers to wilt faster. Additionally, if you have furry friends, make sure to keep flowers and plants out of their reach. We want to keep both your flowers and pets happy and safe!

With a little love and care, your cut flowers will thrive, bringing joy and beauty to your home. Follow these steps to make your flowers last longer, extending the life of your bouquet and allowing you to relish the pleasure of fresh blooms in your home.

In the event of any disputes, customers must provide proof of purchase (order number, order form, receipt, and a photo of the product in question) within 24 hours of delivery.

Failed, Returned, or Non-Deliveries

While we strive for successful deliveries, certain circumstances may result in failed or returned deliveries. Designer Blooms cannot be held responsible if the recipient is not present at the specified delivery address, does not respond to the doorbell, buzzer, or phone call, or refuses to accept the delivery. In such cases, Designer Blooms reserves the right to charge for re-delivery (fees vary based on location).
Please note that orders returned to the studio due to unsuccessful deliveries are not eligible for a refund. However, alternative options are available. If within our delivery time window, you can choose to have your order re-delivered on the same day (additional fees apply). Otherwise, it will be re-delivered the next day.
We will not be liable for the quality of the blooms, especially for fresh/mixed blooms products. Designer Blooms is not responsible for any non-delivery caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses, closed or inaccessible roads, or other factors beyond our control. In the event of a delivery failure under such conditions, the order will be returned to the studio, and a full refund will only be issued in rare cases. Otherwise, customers may contact Designer Blooms to arrange for repurchase and redelivery.
