The freshest flowers make the most beautiful pressed floral art. You may ship your flowers to us, or bring them to either our Sterling, or Charlottesville, Virginia location. It is important to keep your flowers fresh prior to and during the shipping/delivery process. Please use the following guidelines:

Storing your flowers

• Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They can be placed in a refrigerator, but be sure that they do not freeze.
• If you have cut flowers (not in an "oasis"), you should cut 1/2 inch off of the stem and put them in water until you package them for shipment.
•  Never place flowers in a freezer or spray them with water.

Packaging your flowers

• Tuck tissue paper in amongst the flowers, then lightly wrap the entire bouquet with tissue paper.
• Any additional flowers you are sending (i.e. attendants flowers, corsages, boutonnières) should be wrapped separately and clearly labeled.
• It is ideal to place the flowers in an insulated cooler in the shipping box.  This will protect them from either extremely hot or cold temperatures. 
• To keep the flowers as cool as possible during transit in warm weather, we highly recommend securely taping frozen gel packs to the inside of the cooler/box.
• Your goal is to keep the flowers well stabilized to prevent any shifting during shipping. To do this, use crumpled tissue paper or newspaper to make a "nest" large enough to accommodate your flowers in the shipping box. Place the tissue-wrapped flowers in the box facing up.
• Tuck additional tissue paper or newspaper around the flowers to insure their stability.
• Do not use bubble wrap or styrofoam to package your flowers.
• The box should also contain the customer's name, address, phone number and event date.
• If we have not previously received a deposit, a $100 payment (check, money order, or credit card) is required in order to begin the preservation of the flowers. (See the Price List for other payment details.)
• Once box is sealed, write "This Side Up" on the top and "Fragile" on each side of the box.
