Drop-Off and Care Guide
The morning after your wedding is a whirlwind of
packing, resting, and celebrating your first day as
newlyweds. Because your flowers need to enter
our preservation system while they are at their
freshest;
we require all bouquets to be dropped
off at our home studio the day after your
wedding.
01
Hand-Off Details
Drop-Off Time:
Sunday between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM (at the absolute latest).
All celebratory florals need to be secured within our temperature-managed facility by Sunday night. Transporting your petals during this designated time frame guarantees they avoid wilting during travel and preserves their organic beauty at the highest quality.

Guideline for freshness
Your flowers need to
be treated gently right after the wedding celebration.
Use this quick guideline with your designated delivery helper
For Maximum
Freshness:
Keep Them in Water-Place
your bouquet stems back into a vase fille with cold, fresh water the second your reception ends.
Store in a Cool Place-Keep
the flowers in a cool, dark room or a clean refrigerator over night
Transport Vertically-Place the vase securely inside a box or cup holder during the drive so the flowers stay upright and don't get crushed.
Crank the A/C-Ensure the vehicle is kept cool
and air-conditioned during transport.

what to avoid
To ensure your flowers look vibrant and structural inside you should never do the following:
What to AVOID:
Never Freeze Your Flowers-Freezing will instantly ruin the
cellular structure of the petals, turning them into mush once they thaw.
Don't Lay Them Flat-Leaving a heavy bouquet lying on its side for hours will permanently flatten or bruise your focal blooms.
Avoid the Hot Trunk-Never leave your flowers inside a hot vehicle or enclosed car trunk,
even for a short time.
Skip the Decorative Sprays-Do not spray the petals with water or hairspray, as trapped surface moisture can cause
brown spots and mold.
"To make your morning stress-free, we highly recommend delegating the drop-off to a trusted bridesmaid, family member, or friend so you can relax."
