Answers to common questions about our bouquets
We land on this page when we have practical questions that need clear, honest answers before we place an order. Maybe we are unsure about delivery timing, worried about substitutions, or trying to decide between pickup and courier. Instead of long promises, we prefer straightforward explanations of what usually works, where limits are, and how seasonality affects flowers in Canada.
Delivery timing
We outline typical delivery windows, how far ahead we suggest ordering, and when urgent or same day requests might be realistic in your part of the city.
Substitutions
We explain how we handle substitutions when specific flowers are unavailable, and how we keep the agreed palette and mood even when recipes change.
Pickup options
We describe how pickup from our studio works, what time windows are common, and how
this differs from home or venue delivery options.
Holiday schedule
We share how our schedule shifts around holidays, what to expect from product ranges, and why early planning helps during busy periods.

Care tips for keeping your bouquet looking its best
1
How to prepare your bouquet once you receive it
When we bring a bouquet home, the first step is to give the stems a fresh, angled cut under clean water and place them in a washed vase. We remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline, because they tend to break down quickly and can affect water quality. Using cool, clean water and changing it regularly helps slow bacterial growth and keeps stems hydrated. Keeping the bouquet away from direct sun, heaters, and fruit bowls also makes a noticeable difference to how long the flowers stay presentable.

How often to change water and trim stems
We sometimes forget that water matters as much as the flowers themselves. Topping up is
not enough; fully changing the water and rinsing the vase helps. Every time we refresh
the water, we can trim a small piece from the stem ends to open them up again. If we use
flower food, we follow the packet instructions rather than guessing the amount. These
small steps help many common varieties stay attractive longer under normal home
conditions.

Where to place flowers so they last longer
Placing bouquets near radiators, in strong sun, or right under air conditioning can shorten their life noticeably. We try to choose a spot with stable, moderate temperature and no constant drafts. If the arrangement is part of an event, we keep it in a cooler, shaded area until just before guests arrive. This way, the flowers spend less time under stress and are more likely to look fresh when it matters most.
4
What to do when some stems fade earlier than others
Not all flowers age in the same way. Some varieties open slowly and hold their shape, others drop petals quickly once fully open. If a few stems start to fade earlier, we remove them rather than waiting for the whole bouquet to change. This keeps the overall arrangement looking cleaner and can reduce any smell from decaying petals. Results may vary depending on season, stem type, and room conditions, so we treat care tips as guidance rather than a strict rule.
5
How to think about allergies and sensitivities around flowers
If someone in the home has allergies, asthma, or a strong sensitivity to scent, we mention this when ordering. That allows the florist to suggest lower fragrance options and avoid common triggers. At home, we can also place more fragrant flowers in well ventilated areas instead of small bedrooms. When in doubt about specific sensitivities, we consult a healthcare professional before placing large, strongly scented arrangements in shared spaces.
Still have questions after reading our FAQ
If we read through these answers and still feel unsure, that is normal. Every bouquet and event has its own timing, venue rules, and personal details that do not fit neatly into a generic question. When that happens, the fastest path is usually a short message or call with a few specifics: date, area of the city, approximate time window, and whether we need delivery or pickup. From there, we can confirm what is realistic for that day, suggest formats that travel well, and explain how substitutions might work for your order. We prefer honest conversations over promises we cannot keep, so feel free to outline your constraints and we will reply with straightforward options. Results may vary with season and traffic, but our goal is always calm, clear planning.
