WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SHIPPING MY BOUQUET?
To mail the flowers you need a box a little bigger than the bouquet, tape ice packs to the sides *no baggies full of ice- they will leak
*Having the box just fitted is important because the ice has less area to cool.
Wrap the bouquet stems in a damp paper towel and then use newspaper and wrap the entire bouquet- starting with the stems, loosely covering the blooms. *No plastics please, can cause molding
In the bottom half of the box fill with paper then place bouquet and cover with more padding. It is important that no shifting happens during travel so make sure the box is packed fairly tight.
*you can use recycled present wrapping paper or tissue paper ♻️
Include your name somewhere so that I associate the flowers with the correct bride
Please send them overnight or next day to:
The Botany Society
4214 CR 1132
Celeste, TX 75423.
USPS usually has the best rates. Please do not have the package to be signed for, I don’t want to miss it!
Let me know once sent and tracking possibly so I can be looking for it.
HOW SOON SHOULD I SHIP MY FRESH FLOWER / WEDDING BOUQUET?
It is best to overnight or next day your flowers to me as soon as possible and preferably no later than 2-3 days after the event. We can still accept flowers that are further past that timeframe but keep in mind the pressing quality will lessen as more time passes. Please make arrangements to ship your bouquet to me before your event: make a plan with a bridesmaid / parent / trusted friend. Colored flowers do tend to keep their freshness longer.
IF your event falls on a holiday weekend, feel free to send the flowers on Tuesday. Its best for your flowers to ship directly to us, rather than be stored in a box at the post office for 2 days.
