Everything you need to know about ordering your DIY Flowers with us
There are two ways to purchase flowers with Triangle Nursery:
- You can purchase flowers in any of our pre-curated flower packages on our website. The boxes can be ordered in advance. You can order over the telephone on 01394 385 832 or by email at [email protected].
- You can choose from a wide selection of flowers and order on the website. The dates for delivery is specified on the website here.
OPTION 1: Pre-curated Flower Packages
If you choose this path, the steps are simple:
- You can choose one of our florist-curated colour palettes with tried and true flower selections for seasonal consistency. We have a wide selection of flower packages to choose from.
- Choose the package size. We understand that weddings are not one size fits all! Each flower package offers Extra small to Large. This allows you to cater to different sized events from intimate to grand in size. The packages are available to suit a wide range of budgets and floral tastes.
- We deliver fresh products Tuesdays to Sundays. We recommend to receive the flowers 2-3 days prior to the event to allow time to condition, prepare and arrange the flowers ahead of the big day.
- It is important to remember that flowers do not arrive 'arranging-ready!' They may be thirsty as they've travelled far and need attention to ensure they are looking their best for the big day. We provide you with steps to help you make your fresh stay and look in their best condition for the event.

OPTION 2: Choose your blooms
If you choose to order flowers seperately from the website, here are some tips to consider when selecting your blooms:
- All of the flower varieties are sold in stem or bunch quantities. For example, the flower variety, Rose is sold in wraps of 10 or 20 stems, whereas Eucalyptus is sold in 50 stems or 1 bunch quantities. If you require 1 bunch of 10 stems of Roses, you simply add '1' into the basket. At the top of the screen, you will have a tally of total number of stems in your basket.
- Our suppliers are based at two flower auctions in Holland: Aalsmeer and Rijnsburg. You can purchase from both auctions.
- The products are categorised in types, colours, stem length, quantity and grade (quality).
- The grade of the stems can vary between BA or BG (best available/bouquet grade), A1 (great), EX (excellent).
- Some flowers are sourced direct from suppliers in England, Colombia and Ecuador (bypassing the flower auctions). These varieties tend to be Carnations, Hydrangea, Roses and seasonal flowers.
- If a product is showing as unavailable, it may be a result of being out in season, not grown anymore, low availability or quality.
The steps involved in choosing your own blooms are not complicated, you just have to make sure that you pencil the dates of ordering into your diary. Refer to our ordering date calendar on the website here to work out when you need to place your order for the best date of delivery.
As stated above, we deliver fresh products Tuesdays to Sundays. We suggest to order your flowers (advice can vary depending on the type of flowers) for delivery 2-3 days prior to your event to allow time to condition, prepare and arrange your flowers for the big day.
