Shipping Instructions
Shipping your bouquet may feel overwhelming, but I promise it’s easier than it looks! With just a few simple steps, you can safely send your flowers for preservation, and I’ll take care of the rest.
To ensure your flowers arrive in the best possible condition, please follow all instructions carefully.
After your event and before shipping, keep your flowers in a cool environment and place them in a vase with fresh water.
Do not place flowers in the fridge or freezer, as this can cause mold during shipping.
How to Package and Ship Flowers for Preservation:
Step 1:
If your bouquet is already dry, you may disregard this step and continue to Step 2.
Using sharp scissors, cut ½–1 inch from the bottom of each flower stem at a diagonal. Pat the stems dry with a clean towel.
Do not cut the stem near the flower head. Only trim from the lowest part of the stem.
Remove any special attachments from your bouquet—such as ribbons or family heirlooms—if you do not wish for them to be included in your preserved pieces.
Step 2:
Loosely wrap your bouquet with tissue paper or packing paper, similar to how flowers are wrapped at a grocery store.
Wrap the bouquet as a whole. Do not wrap individual flowers separately.
Please do not wrap your bouquet in plastic, bubble wrap, or wet paper towels, as this can trap moisture and cause mold to develop during the shipping process.
Step 3:
Line the bottom of the box with crumpled packing paper or tissue paper to provide cushioning.
Place the wrapped bouquet in the center of the box on top of the crumpled paper.
Fill the remaining space in the box with additional packing paper or tissue paper to help keep the bouquet secure and prevent movement during transit. Please avoid packing peanuts.
Step 4:
Seal the box securely with packing tape, and be sure to add “FRAGILE” stickers on multiple sides of the box.
Whether you or a friend or family member is shipping your flowers, please write your full name used for the order, the order number, and a callback phone number on a sheet of paper and place it inside the box with the flowers. This helps us make sure your bouquet is safely matched to your order as soon as it arrives.
Details on where to send your bouquet will be provided upon completion of the client agreement.
Step 5:
Ship your flowers overnight within 24–48 hours after your event.
If your flowers are already dry, you can choose a fast shipping option, but overnight delivery isn’t required.
UPS is preferred for shipping.
How to Package and Ship Hair for Preservation:
Hair can be placed in the same box as flowers, just ensure it is packaged separately and clearly labeled.
Ensure the hair is clean, detangled, and completely dry to prevent mold or damage.
Gently tie the hair with a small elastic or ribbon.
Place the hair in a zip-lock bag or envelope for protection.
Wrap the bag/envelope in tissue paper or bubble wrap and put it inside a sturdy box or padded mailer. (It can be shipped with flowers if kept separate and labeled.)
Please write your full name used for the order, the order number, and a callback phone number on a sheet of paper and place it inside the box. (If you are shipping with flowers, this step is only necessary inside the main shipment box.)
Ship using a service with tracking (insurance optional). Overnight shipping isn’t required, but faster shipping is recommended.
