How to Order
Ordering is straightforward.

After ordering you should receive an email confirmation and, where available, delivery tracking. For hospital or funeral home deliveries, include the recipient’s full name and department or contact person to help staff accept the delivery.
Ordering and Timing Guidance
Cutoffs vary by florist, but a safe rule of thumb is to place same-day orders by early to mid-afternoon. Many shops set a cutoff between 1:00–3:00 PM for same-day service; orders placed after the cutoff will typically be scheduled for next-day delivery. If you need a timed delivery for an event, contact the florist as early as possible to reserve a delivery window. Be aware that weekends and holidays may have earlier cutoffs and limited availability.
Substitutions and Availability
Seasonal changes and supply constraints can affect specific flowers. Many florists reserve the right to substitute blooms of equal or greater value when necessary; reputable shops will match colors and style and notify you of significant changes. For weddings or large events, confirm availability and contracts well in advance to avoid last-minute substitutions.
Flower Care Tips
Keep arrangements looking fresh longer with a few simple steps:
- Trim stems at a 45-degree angle before placing flowers in a clean vase.
- Use the flower food provided and refresh the water every 2–3 days.
- Remove leaves that sit below the water line to prevent bacteria growth.
- Keep arrangements in a cool location away from direct sun, heating vents, and ripening fruit (which emits ethylene gas and shortens vase life).
- Recut stems and replace water when blooms start to wilt to revive arrangements where possible.
Special Requests and Large Orders
For weddings, corporate events, or sympathy deliveries requiring multiple or custom pieces, contact the florist as early as possible. Lead times vary by the size and complexity of the order and by seasonal demand. Ask about delivery logistics, setup fee estimates, and any venue policies for on-site arrangements.
Final Notes
When ordering for someone in Bear, Delaware, include clear delivery instructions and the recipient’s full name to minimize delays. If you have specific timing needs or sensitive delivery locations (hospitals, funeral homes, event venues), confirm policies with the florist at the time of ordering to ensure a smooth delivery.
