Sturdy cardboard box (slightly larger than your bouquet)
Plastic bags or wrap Paper towels
Floral or painter’s tape (gentle tape preferred)
Packing peanuts or bubble wrap
Crumpled tissue paper or newspaper
Ziplock bags for any loose petals or small flowers
Ice packs or coolant block (optional but highly recommended in warm weather)

Cut ½”–1” off the bottom ends of the stems at a diagonal with sharp scissors. Pat stems dry. Do not cut too close to the blooms
If your bouquet is already dry, skip this step
Remove any ribbons, keepsakes, or family heirlooms you don’t want included in your preserved piece

Loosely wrap your bouquet in tissue paper or packing paper (as you’d see in a grocery store bouquet). Wrap the bouquet as a whole, not each flower individually
Do not wrap your bouquet in plastic, bubble wrap, or wet paper towels - this causes mold
During hot months, add sealed ice packs (in ziplock bags) to keep flowers cool, but don’t let them touch the flowers

If using a coolant block or ice packs, tape them securely to the bottom of the empty shipping box. Do not place them directly against the flowers
Make a nest of crumpled paper or packing peanuts on top of and around the coolant
Place the wrapped bouquet in the center of the nest and cushion the sides with more packing material. The goal is to stabilize the bouquet so it doesn’t shift
Add extra packing paper at the top before closing

Inside the box, include your name, wedding/event date, email, and phone number, along with your DIY packing slip or online receipt if applicable
Seal the box with packing tape and mark it “FRAGILE”
Clearly label the outside of the box with the full name on your order, your order number, and a callback phone number

Ship your bouquet overnight within 24–48 hours of your event. Overnight is best, do not request signature.
Flowers must arrive to us no later than 4 days after your event to be usable We recommend scheduling your carrier trip late in the day, right after placing flowers and coolant in the box, so they stay fresh as long as possible
If your bouquet is already dried, an expedited service (not necessarily overnight) is acceptable
