Your Orders
-
How can I find previous orders?
If you log into your account you should be able to find all your previous orders and all your recipient information.
-
Why do you ask for the recipient phone number?
The only reason we request the recipient information is to contact them if we are having difficulty with a deliver. Locked fences and locked apartment or condominium building always present problems. We may also contact the recipient prior to delivery on extremely hot or cold days.
-
Is there a sales tax for online orders?
Oregon is sales tax free state so there is no sales tax on your order. There is also no sales tax on orders wired out of the Portland Metro area as sales tax is paid at point of sale. You might consider placing all your orders for friends and family far away with us and save the sales tax.
-

A phone call is the best way to cancel your order. Our automated system may send your order off to another florist if it is not for delivery in the Portland Metro area before we see and email or order message. 503-285-7714

Flower Care
-
How long will my flowers last?
Most floral arrangements will last from 4 to 7 days - or longer - depending on the type of flowers included and the level of care they receive. Just a little extra care can make a big difference!
-
Should I place my flowers the sunlight?
As pretty as they may look, don't keep them in direct sunlight. Try to keep them in a cool area, but away from direct cooling vents or fans, as they will dehydrate faster.
-
Do I need to use the packet of flower food?
Believe it or not, that flower food really will help deliver nutrients to your stems and keep them lasting longer. Mix the packet with water according to directions, and then place your arrangement in water after the solution is dissolved.
-
How often should I change the water in my vase?
When the water is no longer clear, change the water. This is a step that is easy to forget about due to our busy schedules, but it is a big one!
-
How should I trim my stems?
First, remove any leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in the water will promote bacterial growth, causing the flowers to wilt quickly. Then, cut the very end of the stem off while holding it underwater, using shears for tougher stems and branches.

Order Substitutions
-
Will be arrangement look the same as the photo online?
Because of the nature, seasonality, and regional availability of flowers, it is sometimes necessary to make substitutions of equal or greater value. We will make every effort to maintain the "look and feel" of the arrangement by considering the overall shape, size, style, and color combinations.
-
Can I request substitutions?
Please call us with any special requests or instructions, and our florists will be happy to assist you!
-
What if a substitution has to be made on a time crunch?
Due to the importance of delivering orders for special occasions, such as funerals, birthdays, and anniversaries, on specific days, we may substitute items of equal or greater value to ensure timely delivery if the flowers you requested are not available and we're not able to contact you using the information you provided.
