The duration that flowers remain fresh can differ based on the specific flower type, the care they receive, and the surrounding environment. Typically, cut flowers can maintain their freshness for a period ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. It's important to note that certain flowers naturally have a shorter lifespan, while others are more resilient and can last longer when properly cared for.

You don't need to worry. It is normal for some flowers to be delivered in a closed or partially closed state. Follow these steps to help them bloom: 1. Unpack the flowers: Remove them from their packaging and carefully cut any protective covering or bands around the stems. 2. Trim the stems: Using sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife, trim each stem about an inch off the bottom at a diagonal angle. This will enable better water absorption. 3. Place in water: Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and add any flower food or preservatives provided with the arrangement, then place the flowers in the vase immediately. 4. Provide care: Keep the vase in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or extreme temperatures. Change the water every few days and trim the stems slightly each time for optimal water uptake. The closed buds should gradually open up with time and proper care, revealing their beauty. Patience and proper maintenance will help the flowers bloom and extend their lifespan.

To care for your flowers and help them last longer, here are some general guidelines: Water: Ensure your flowers have an adequate water supply. Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and place the flowers in it. Check the water level daily and replenish as needed. Flower Food: If provided, add the flower food or preservative to the water according to the package instructions. These additives contain nutrients that can help prolong the life of your flowers. Trim the Stems: Every few days, trim about an inch off the bottom of each stem at a diagonal angle. This allows for better water absorption and prevents the stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase. Remove Leaves: Remove any leaves or foliage submerged in the water, as they can promote bacterial growth. Only leaves above the waterline should remain. Display Location: Place your flowers in a cool area away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. Avoid placing them near fruits or appliances that produce ethylene gas, as this can shorten their lifespan. Daily Check: Regularly check the water level, the vase's cleanliness, and the flowers' condition. Remove any wilted or damaged flowers or foliage to maintain the overall health of the arrangement. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your flowers away from extreme temperatures, as hot and cold environments can cause them to deteriorate more quickly. Following these care tips can help your flowers stay fresh and vibrant for longer. It's important to note that different flower types may have specific care requirements, so you may consult any instructions provided with your specific arrangement or contact us for tailored advice.

Flowers can sometimes appear slightly different from the pictures due to a few factors: Natural Variation: Flowers are unique living organisms, and just like individuals, they can have natural variations in colour, size, and shape. The pictures provided are often meant to represent the overall style and arrangement, but individual flowers may exhibit slight differences. Seasonal Availability: Depending on the time of year and availability, certain flowers in the arrangement may be substituted with similar alternatives. Florists aim to maintain the overall aesthetic and colour scheme, but substitutions may be necessary to ensure fresh, high-quality blooms. Floral Design: Florists are skilled at creating beautiful arrangements, and they may use techniques such as pruning, shaping, and arranging to achieve the desired look. This artistic touch can result in slight variations from the original picture while maintaining the overall style and essence of the arrangement. While every effort is made to deliver arrangements that closely resemble the pictures, it's important to remember that nature's beauty is inherently diverse and may manifest in unique ways. The flowers you receive should still be a lovely representation of the chosen style and theme.

Due to the perishable nature of flowers, it is generally not possible to return them for a refund. Once the flowers have been delivered or picked up, their freshness and quality can quickly deteriorate, making it challenging to accept returns. However, if you have concerns or issues with the quality or condition of your flower order, it is recommended to contact the customer service team or the florist directly. They will assess the situation and work with you to find a suitable resolution. Providing detailed information and supporting evidence, such as photographs, can be helpful in resolving any concerns regarding the order.

Refunds for flower orders are typically evaluated on a case-by-case basis and depend on the specific circumstances, such as the reason for the refund request and the Bloomable refund policy. It is advisable to contact the customer service team to discuss your situation and inquire about their refund policy. They will provide you with guidance on the available options and the process for requesting a refund. Providing any relevant details or supporting documentation can assist in the assessment of your refund request.
