What should I do when I receive a bouquet?

• Soak up the unique pleasure of our handtied bouquet created for you.

• If you have a vessel / vase of suitable size to receive the bouquet, get it ready by cleaning it out

and filling it halfway with fresh lukewarm water.

• Bring the bouquet to a sink and carefully remove the aquapack (if there is one) and let the water drain away.

• Remove the wrapping around the bouquet but we suggest not to cut the string around the

flowers as this will ensure the bouquet keeps its fabulous structure as the florist intended.

• With a suitable scissors or carefully with a floristry knife, cut all the stems 1cm from their ends at a diagonal before placing the bouquet into the vessel.

• Don’t forget to thank the sender! If they love flowers and live in our delivery area, we can help.

How should I care for my flowers?

• If you have unwrapped the bouquet as we have recommended above, we suggest placing the bouquet in a pride of place but ensure that the air temperature is kept cool and out of direct sunlight. The warmer the environment the sooner your bouquet will begin to deteriorate.

• We recommend replacing the water and giving all the stems of the bouquet and fresh 1cm diagonal cut every two or three days. You may add a packet of ‘flower food’ to the water in the vessel, however, we don’t believe this is necessary and regular fresh water and snipping the stems should do just fine.

• Don’t be afraid to carefully remove any wilted flowers as some will wilt faster than others.

• By removing them the bouquet will look better for longer and wilted stems can also spread bacteria to the other flowers, so it is important to keep an eye on these.

The bouquet received looks different than the image of it online?
