Shipping Bouquets Overnight

 

How To + Recommendations

You will want to overnight ship your bouquet as soon as possible after the event. The US Post Office may be your best choice. With convenient locations sending an arrangement or bouquet overnight should be around $60-80 per shipment. Please find directions below and reach out with any questions.

Supplies you will need:

  • One Carboard Box
    You’ll need a cardboard box – just a little larger than your actual bouquet.

  • Packing Material
    Crumpled newspaper, crumpled wrapping paper or Styrofoam packing peanuts. Do not use bubble wrap, plastic bags or plastic products to package your flowers.

  • Packing Tape
    Ordinary packing tape works great.

  • Mementos, Photos, Invitations, etc.
    Please include any keepsakes such as photos, invitations, programs, prayer cards, ribbons or fabrics. You will want to make sure you protect these items with cardboard cushioning if necessary and within a plastic bag to keep them dry.

How to pack your bouquet:

  1. Keep your bouquet in water until you get ready to ship. It is important to ship your flowers within 24 hours of your event.

  2. Take a wet paper towel or cloth, wrap it around the stems, place the stems in a plastic bag to catch any water, and secure it all with a rubber band. This helps to keep flowers hydrated.

  3. Keep the flower heads as they are. Do not wrap.

  4. Make a nest with your peanuts or crumpled paper. Place your bouquet in the nest. Pack more peanuts and paper around bouquet to ensure it is secure and does not move during shipping.

  5. Please add a note with the name the reservation was made under and if you have any photos or mementos.

  6. Close & seal and it is ready to ship! Once your bouquet is packed ship right away.
