Keep your flowers or bouquet cool and dry until you are ready to pack and ship. Please do not allow water to get directly on the blooms. We recommend keeping your flowers or bouquet in an upright position if at all possible until you are ready to ship. This can easily be accomplished by placing the stems or holder in a jar or vase.
If an oasis is the water source for your flowers or bouquet, add a small amount of water directly to the oasis.
Refrigerate. Do Not Freeze.
Once you’re ready to pack and ship, remove the stems or your holder from the jar or vase. Gently place tissue paper in and around the blooms and then wrap tissue paper around the entire bouquet. Add newspaper or additional tissue paper to insure that your flowers will not move around while in transit. Each bouquet, corsage, flower arrangement, etc. be wrapped separately and labeled with your name, address, phone number, a description of Your Special Occasion and the date thereof.
