What’s the difference between a Bouquet and an Arrangement?
A ‘Bouquet’ consists of a collection of flowers arranged in a hand-tied fashion, wrapped with paper and ribbon. These flowers and foliage are intended to be cut by the recipient and arranged in a vase according to their personal preferences. This can be a very enjoyable experience for those that love arranging flowers themselves.
An ‘Arrangement’ refers to the artful cutting and placement of flowers and foliage by our Florist, these are generally placed in a container base with a water source (floral foam) and requires replenishment with regular water top-ups and flower food sachet provided.
These ‘Arrangements’ are designed for immediate display readiness once presented to the recipient.
How do I care for my flowers?
For optimum flower care we recommend following the instruction card that is provided with each floral purchase.
For optimum flower life, we suggest re-cutting the stems on an angle before placing them in a vase full of fresh water.
We recommend refreshing the water in your vase or arrangement with floral foam daily so the flowers won’t dry out.
Ensure there is no loose debris or foliage below the water line and we suggest re-cutting of stems every few days.
Note: Direct air-conditioning, fans and heat can have an adverse effect on flowers, placement is recommended to be in a cool position away from direct sunlight.
Typically, your flowers life (depending on variety) could be between 3 to 7 days.
