PRETTY BLOOMS

Our courier creates their run based on time and efficiency from our Gladesville store and all orders will be delivered between 9am - 5pm. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a dedicated time slot.

If you would like to collect your flower order from our Gladesville store to ensure you have them at a particular time, please state what time you would like to pick up in your order notes.

Our bouquets are wet packed, they have a temporary water source. If there is nowhere safe to leave the blooms, or the property is inaccessible, or the address provided is incorrect, the flowers will be returned to us and we will call to re-arrange delivery at the senders cost.

We now create custom hampers for your orders. Please let us know in your order notes if you would like us to create a hamper for you.

Caring for cut flowers involves a few simple steps to maximize their freshness and lifespan:

1. Fresh Cut: As soon as you get the flowers, cut about an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently.
2. Water: Use clean, cold water in a clean vase. Some flowers benefit from flower food or a teaspoon of sugar added to the water.
3. Remove Leaves: Strip off any leaves that would be submerged in water, as they can rot and create bacteria.
4. Temperature: Keep the flowers in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources like radiators.
5. Change Water: Replace the water every 2-3 days and recut the stems to keep the flowers fresh.
6. Avoid Fruit: Keep flowers away from fruit, as the ethylene gas emitted by ripening fruit can shorten flower life.

By following these steps, you can enjoy the beauty of your cut flowers for a longer period.
