Question: What’s a good gift to send?

Answer: Flowers of course! There’s a primal reason that flowers are a timeless option to express your emotion. Flowers have been used as a gift for ages, as they were the first gift given for beauty’s sake alone. When someone receives a bouquet just for them it’s a pure moment. A moment that pierces the noise of busy everyday life, and shares a powerful emotion directly. That’s why sending flowers is the perfect solution for any gift giving situation. There’s no wrong size, off colour, or batteries needed. Both young and old, personal and professional, immediately and viscerally understand what you’re trying to communicate. From weddings to graduations, to get well soon, to lifting someone’s spirits, nothing does the job like a masterfully designed arrangement.

Question: What flowers do I send for a Birthday?

Answer: A birthday of a friend, lover or a family member is an important occasion. This is true especially when they are far from us and we are not able to be with them on their special day because of work or other life circumstances. However, precisely this is when sending flowers is convenient and one of the best way to convey your feelings to your loved ones. The selection of birthday flowers depends on the recipient's likes and dislikes. Usually we recommend a bright, colourful and cheery arrangement in a vase or better yet, in a crystal vase that they can re-use throughout the house. A mixed arrangement of fresh seasonal flowers and blooms would underline the importance of the occasion and bring a guaranteed smile. If you know of a particular flower type that the recipient might like, make sure to note this so the designers can create your arrangement including these flowers. For best results, stay way from elaborate, high style designs and go with simple, yet colourful solutions.

Answer: The turn around time can vary depending on what you need. For everyday flowers, we do accept same day orders, meaning, you could place your order and can arrange to have it delivered later on that same day. Please keep in mind that there may be additional fees if there are time restrictions. For specific/rare flowers, it’s always good to place your order a week in advance. We have weekly shipments of fresh flowers, therefore, if we happen to be sold out of a certain type of flower when you place your order, there is still time to add it to our following week’s flower shipment and still have the flowers delivered on time. For funeral orders, it is the same idea, though most of time pieces include more common types of flowers, it’s always good to place your order 4-6 days in advance to give our designer’s the opportunity to give your requested piece the time and attention it deserves. Funeral pieces can be very large and require a lot of design time. As for specialty plants and trees, we require a 2 weeks advance as they can be a little tricky to locate, and once we’ve located one, we need time to get it imported. We require 2 weeks notice for artificial arrangements as well. For all edible items, we require a 24 hour notice. All of our produce is bought fresh, therefore, we do not keep any in store and only buy as we need.

Question: What is the difference between as shown size, deluxe size, premium size and royal size bouquets?

Answer: The as shown size is a correct depiction of the image on our website. We will create the arrangement as close as possible to the shape, style, colour schema and container used as it is on the image. If we do not have some of the flowers we will substitute with similar or higher quality flowers to complement the arrangement. The deluxe Size is roughly double the size of the as shown where we include more of the same flowers, in the same colours and style as the as shown size. In case where the container does not allow for more flowers we will replace the container or vase with a larger one to accommodate the extra flowers. The premium size is identical to the deluxe simply with a lot more flowers and a larger container that will make the arrangement more impressive and will create a lasting impression. The design is kept close to the original floral concept as mush as possible. Keep in mind that when the size of an arrangement is increased, the design may have to be adapted to the fact that it includes more stems and blooms. The royal size is at least 3 times larger then the as shown size and is designed to wow the recipient. The container is surely to be upgraded to a larger one as well as the quantity of the blooms. In most cases, simply using more of the same flowers is not enough for a royal size arrangement but rather we will deploy more expensive and high end blooms. the general colours will be kept to conform to the as shown size.
