When Should I order DIY Wedding Flowers?
We recommend delivery 2-3 days before the wedding and event
This allows time for essential conditioning and flower development
Some flowers arrive in tighter bud to maximise vase life and freshness.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Common Problems & Solutions:
Drooping Flowers: Usually caused by dehydration or blocked stems. Re-cut stems and place into fresh water immediately.
Flowers Arriving Tight or Closed: Many wedding flowers are shipped in bud for freshness. Allow time for natural opening in a slightly warmer room.
Short Vase Life: Often cased by bacteria build up or warm environment. Refresh water regularly and keep flowers cool.
