Tips for Taking Care of Your Flower Delivery

Just received a beautiful flower delivery? Here are a few tricks and tips to make your flowers last longer and stay fresher!

🌼 Unleash the Beauty of Your Fresh Flowers

As soon as your bouquet arrives, remove the packaging. Untie the stems and give your fresh blooms some breathing space!

🌿 Trim and Tidy Your Cut Flowers

Give your flower stems a fresh start by trimming them at a 45º angle with sharp scissors or garden shears. Also, remove any excess leaves. Trimming the stems at an angle helps them absorb water faster!

💦 Quench Their Thirst with Flower Food

Before putting your flowers in a vase, make sure it's clean! Eliminate any harmful bacteria by cleaning the vase thoroughly. Fill the vase halfway with room temperature water and add the flower food packet that comes with your bouquet. This will keep your flowers hydrated and nourished, ensuring their vibrancy and freshness. Flower food is their best friend!

☀️ The Perfect Spot to Keep Your Flowers Fresh

Now that your fresh 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 flowers will appreciate a comfortable environment just as much as you do!

🍎 Fruit-Free Zone

Avoid placing your bouquet near ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas. These fruits can cause your flowers to wilt faster, and we want them to last longer!

🐶 Attention pet owners! Keep your furry friends safe and happy by keeping flowers and plants out of their reach.

With a little love and care, your cut flowers will thrive, adding joy and beauty to your home. Follow these steps to make your flowers last longer, extend the life of your bouquet, and enjoy the pleasure of fresh flowers in your home.

Failed, Returned, or Non-deliveries

While we strive for successful deliveries, there may be circumstances where deliveries fail or are returned. Please note that Designer Blooms cannot be held accountable for such instances if the recipient is unavailable at the specified delivery address, fails to respond to the doorbell, buzzer, or phone call after a reasonable amount of time, or refuses to accept the delivery. In such cases, Designer Blooms reserves the right to charge for re-delivery (fees may vary based on the location).
It is important to understand that orders returned to the studio due to unsuccessful deliveries are not eligible for a refund. However, alternative options are available. If it is still within our delivery time window, you have the choice to request re-delivery on the same day (additional fees apply). Otherwise, it will be re-delivered the following day.
We would like to highlight that we cannot be held responsible for the quality of the blooms, particularly for fresh or mixed bloom products. Designer Blooms cannot be held liable for non-delivery caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses, closed or inaccessible roads, or other uncontrollable factors. If delivery failure occurs under such circumstances, the order will be returned to the studio, and a full refund will only be issued in rare cases. Otherwise, customers are encouraged to contact Designer Blooms to arrange for repurchase and redelivery.
