Why are my flowers still in bud? | Our wedding florists work hard to make sure you wedding flowers are opening at just the right time for your wedding day, however some transistional flowers like lisianthus stems have buds and blooms, however the smaller buds to the ends don't ever open fully, so we allow for this in our designs as they suit certain ranges of our collection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
My Flowers are completely damaged or some have wilted! | See image. Is there time to send a suitable replacement? | Send wedding florist images, to see if it can be fixed and offer partial refund | |||||||||||||||||||||||
My bouquet doesnt match the image! | Ask for image to compare. | Our florists are professional at what they do and will try to make every bouquet to match the image online but please remember flowers are natural products and can all grow slightly differently, that is part of their beauty so not every rose will open the same at the same time or their colours can vary ever so slightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
What is the difference between a buttonhole and corsage? | A buttonhole is usually a single flower and small amount of foliage, wired and taped together and generally worn by a man on his left lapel | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

We advise that you have your flowers delivered on the morning of your wedding, as all of our flowers are sent in full bloom and this is when they will look their most beautiful. This is especially important for buttonholes and corsages; as they are wired they’ll usually look their best for around 24 hours. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
