It is very important that you follow the instructions
listed below to assure that your flowers will be maintained
and ready for preservation.
| |
Please let your florist know that you are preserving
your flowers. Ask them to use the freshest flowers as
possible. Also try not to use wires. |
| |
|
| |
Please make arrangements to have the flowers
delivered to Bloom 'in Memories within 48 hours of your
wedding. |
| |
|
| |
Please handle your flowers with tender loving care
because bumping or touching them will bruise the petals. |
| |
|
| |
Place the flowers in a plastic bag, inflate with air
and seal it with a twist tie. Place the bag in a refrigerator
or cooler. (Please make sure that the flowers do not
freeze as this will damage the petals.) Do not get the
flowers wet during this storage process. |
| |
|
| |
Please allow 12 to 16 weeks for your completed design.
We request a deposit at the time that you drop off your
bouquet or flowers. The remaining balance is due at the
time of delivery. For your convenience we accept Visa
and Mastercard. |
Instructions for shipping flowers to us
| |
A clean Styrofoam picnic cooler big enough
to hold your flowers without crowding them. |
| |
|
| |
A corrugated carton big enough for the Styrofoam cooler |
| |
|
| |
A pre-frozen ice substitute, such as “Blue Ice” DO
NOT USE DRY ICE |
| |
|
| |
A lightweight plastic trash bag. |
| |
|
| |
Newspaper |
| |
|
| |

Preparation for your flowers should begin as soon as possible
after the wedding. Most fresh flowers will maintain their
peak condition longer in cool, dark, humid surroundings
where they have a constant source of water to the cut ends
of the stems.
| |
If your bouquet is mounted in a bouquet
holder with wet floral foam, place the entire bouquet
in the trash bag and securely close the bag opening with
a twist tie or by tying a knot in it. Place the bouquet
in a refrigerator until you can ship it to us. DO NOT
MIST OR FREEZE THE FLOWERS |
| |
|
| |
If a bouquet is a hand tied style, remove any ribbon,
which may be wrapped around the flower stems and cut
approximately one inch from the ends of the stems. Ideally,
stems should be held under lukewarm water when cutting.
Place the bouquet in a CLEAN vase or jar containing a
flower preservation solution. Your florist can provide
you with a small packet to mix the water. Loosely cover
the bouquet in a refrigerator until you can ship it to
us. DO NOT MIST OR FREEZE THE FLOWERS. Before shipping
remove the bouquet from the vase. Saturate a rag with
water and wrap it around stem ends. Place a small plastic
bag over the rag and secure the top against the flower
stems with tape. Do not use a rubber band as this may
bruise the flower stems. Place the entire bouquet in
a lightweight plastic trash bag and securely close the
end with a twist tie or by tying a knot in it. |
| |
|
| |
To ship flowers, wrap the frozen ice substitute in
several layers of newspaper and securely tape it to the
bottom of the cooler to prevent movement during shipping.
Crumple newspaper enough to cover the entire bottom and
the ice substitute. This will prevent your flowers from
coming in direct contact with the ice pack. Place the
bouquet, inside a trash bag, on the top of the crumpled
newspaper. If there is room around flowers, crumple more
newspaper and carefully pack it around bouquet to minimize
movement around flowers. Securely tape the lid of the
cooler to the bottom using packaging tape. Some tapes
do not stick good to Styrofoam so we recommend going
all the way around the cooler at least once in both directions.
Place the cooler in the corrugated carton and pack more
newspaper around the outside if necessary to prevent
movement. |

charge for any flowers that need to be replaced. Added
cost of the replacement flowers will not exceed $20.00
without customer approval. In the event your flowers
are damaged due to the circumstances beyond our control,
such as power failure, our liability is limited to replacement
of the flowers. Allow at least three months for us to
freeze dry your flowers and complete your arrangement. |
