Recipients may refuse flower deliveries for various personal reasons, including relationship issues, breakups, concerns about unwanted attention, or feeling uncomfortable with the sender. These decisions should be honored. If the recipient refuses to accept the flower delivery for any reason, it's essential to respect their decision. The flowers are meant to bring joy, and if the recipient doesn't wish to receive them, we cannot force the delivery. If the flower delivery has not yet been attempted or delivered, we will contact the sender to discuss the possibility of arranging an alternative delivery option or canceling the order and giving a refund. If the order is a custom order a partial refund will be given as the order has already been prepared and can't be sold as is. If the flowers have been successfully delivered and the recipient refuses them, we consider our delivery obligation fulfilled.

When we mention "seasonal" in the context of color choices for our floral arrangements, it means that the available color palette may vary depending on the time of year. Flowers come in a wide range of colors, and their availability can change with the seasons. For example, you may find vibrant and warm colors like deep reds and oranges more prevalent in fall, while spring might feature pastel shades like pinks and yellows. Our floral designers select the most appropriate and beautiful flowers based on what's naturally in bloom during the season. This ensures that your arrangement not only looks fresh and appealing but also reflects the natural beauty of the time of year.

We understand your desire for your floral arrangement to closely resemble the picture displayed on our website. While we strive to capture the essence and style of the featured arrangements, there are a few important points to consider: Conceptual Representation: Many of the photos on our website serve as a conceptual representation of the arrangement. They are designed to showcase the style, color palette, and overall aesthetic. Due to the natural and seasonal variations in flowers, your specific arrangement may not be an exact replica, but it will capture the essence and spirit of the design. Freshness is Our Priority: Our top priority is to use the freshest flowers available in the creation of your arrangement. This means that the exact flower varieties and colors may vary based on what is in stock at the time of your order. Rest assured, our skilled florists will handcraft your bouquet to ensure it's as beautiful and captivating as possible, keeping the overall concept in mind. We recommend that you also review our substitution policy for a better understanding of how we handle specific flower substitutions based on availability. Our commitment is to create a stunning and unique floral arrangement that will delight both you and the recipient. If you have specific preferences or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll do our best to accommodate your requests. Your satisfaction is our goal, and we appreciate your trust in our ability to create a memorable floral experience. Substitution Policy: In certain cases, our photograph may depict a general theme or aesthetic and feature a unique vase that cannot be duplicated exactly. While the actual bouquet may not perfectly match the image, its overall character will. From time to time, substitutions of flowers and/or containers may occur due to factors like weather, seasonal availability, and market conditions. These variables can affect product availability. In such instances with the gift you've chosen, we guarantee that we will maintain the style, theme, and color scheme of your arrangement and will only substitute items of equal or greater value. If specific design elements are crucial for your order, please include them in the florist instructions during checkout or get in touch with us to confirm their availability.

A pre-order is a purchasing option that allows you to order flowers or arrangements in advance of their availability. You can reserve and pay for these items now, and we will deliver them to you or your desired recipient when they become available. Pre-orders allow us to offer you exclusive access to upcoming products and seasonal collections. It also helps us manage inventory and ensures that you receive your desired floral arrangements during peak seasons. To place a pre-order on our Ecwid store, follow these steps: 1) Browse our website and select the product(s) available for pre-order. 2) Add the selected item(s) to your cart. 3) During the checkout process, you'll be prompted to choose your delivery date.

To arrange a delivery at The University of Vermont Health Network - Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH), please ensure that the patient has been assigned a room as we cannot deliver to the ICU due to hospital regulations. Once a room has been assigned, we would be delighted to deliver your floral arrangement. Please note that our current delivery policies, effective in 2023, require us to leave the delivery with a staff member at the entrance of the hospital or nursing home facility. As a result, we cannot guarantee the exact time of delivery to the recipient. If you have any other questions please refer to our dedicated FAQ for Hospital and Nursing Home Facility Deliveries.

Flower deliveries can be affected by inclement weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or extreme heat. In such situations, delivery delays or cancellations may occur due to safety concerns for delivery personnel or damage to the flowers. We take every precaution to ensure the safety of our employees and the quality of the flowers. We use protective coverings, temperature-controlled vehicles, and may use alternate delivery routes to mitigate the effects of bad weather. Customers should keep in mind that inclement weather may affect their delivery and plan accordingly by ordering in advance or choosing a different delivery date. In case of any issues, we will be in contact to communicate any updates and possible solutions.

Unfortunately, we cannot leave deliveries at the doorstep. If no one is present at the time of delivery, we will leave a call tag at the residence and bring the delivery back on the truck and notify recipient and customer. We will make our best efforts to make another delivery accommodation or ask for the recipient to pick up the delivery at our location.

We kindly request that you provide us with the recipient's phone number to ensure someone is present at the location to receive the delivery. Our call is not only to confirm the availability of the recipient, but also verify delivery address and to arrange a suitable delivery time because we are unable to leave a delivery at a doorstep.

We understand your desire to personalize your gift, but we have specific guidelines regarding the items we can accept for delivery along with flowers. You may include prepackaged and sealed chocolates, cookies, snacks or a greeting card with your flower delivery. These are the only additional items we can accept due to liability and safety reasons. We do not deliver jewelry or alcohol due to legal liabilities that they would entail.

We understand your desire to see the final arrangement before it's delivered, and we're happy to accommodate your request for a photo of your order. Here's how it typically works: Throughout Most of the Year: For the majority of the year, we can certainly arrange to have a photo of the finished arrangement or product texted to you before delivery. Just let us know your request when placing your order, and we'll make sure to capture the beauty of your arrangement and send it to you. However, during major holidays (such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc) , when we experience a significantly higher volume of orders and operate under tight delivery schedules, we regret that we may not be able to provide this service. The sheer volume of orders makes it challenging for us to pause for your response without causing potential delays in delivering your order. Please keep in mind that if you do request a photo during other times of the year, it may cause a slight delay in delivering your order while we await your response. We aim to provide the best service possible while ensuring your order is delivered in a timely manner. If you have any questions or specific requirements, don't hesitate to reach out to our team, and we'll do our best to accommodate your preferences. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding during busy holiday periods.
