🌸 Ordering & Flowers

Q: Do you use local, seasonal flowers?
A: Yes! We prioritize sourcing locally whenever possible for better color, fragrance, and sustainability. While seasonal blooms make each arrangement unique, we do depend on trusted farms and may need occasional substitutions for variety or availability.

Q: What is your substitution policy?
A: Sometimes flowers or keepsakes are unavailable due to demand or seasonality. In those cases, we substitute with equal­-value items that match your color theme or style, maintaining the overall look and quality you envision.

🌿 Sympathy & Funeral Services

Q: What kinds of sympathy arrangements do you offer?
A: We offer bouquets, baskets, standing sprays, casket sprays, urn tributes, and sympathy plants. Learn more from our guidance page: A Guide to Sympathy Flowers

Q: How quickly can you deliver sympathy flowers?
A: We strive to deliver same-day or next-day flowers, especially during urgent situations. If you’re working with a funeral home or cemetery, we coordinate directly with them for seamless service.

💍 Weddings & Events

Q: Do you provide consultations and mockups?
A: Yes! We offer a complimentary consultation and estimate. Once you’re ready to move forward, we prepare a sample mockup to ensure we’re aligned on color, style, and budget before full production.

Q: Do you require minimum spend?
A: No minimum spend—whether you need one bouquet or dozens + large structural pieces, we’re delighted to help with weddings, events, or private parties.

🚚 Delivery & Services

Q: How far do you deliver?
A: We serve Barnegat, Waretown, and surrounding Ocean County areas, often traveling up to 75 miles for weddings and local delivery needs. See “Local Delivery Areas” on our site for full coverage.

Q: Do you provide setup and breakdown?
A: We do! All wedding/event contracts include full setup, delivery, and optional breakdown services at cleanup. You won’t need to lift a finger.

🎉 Flower Bar & Custom Services

Q: What is a flower bar?
A: Our Flower Bar Rental lets guests build their own bouquet using provided blooms, ribbons, sleeves, and tools. Guidance signage helps them choose focal flowers, fillers, and greenery to create something beautiful they can take home.

Q: Can events or businesses rent plants?
A: Definitely! We offer house plant rental for weddings, corporate events, hotels, resorts, and more. Plants are refreshed regularly and customized to your venue and brand aesthetic.
