For flower preservation – No bubble wrap or plastic.

1. Prepare the Flowers

   • Trim stems slightly at an angle.

   • Gently hydrate by wrapping the bottom of the stems in slightly damp kitchen roll (not dripping wet).

   • Cover the damp kitchen roll in foil so the flower buds stay dry.

2. Add Order Details

   • Place the Specifics Sheet inside the box.

   • If you cannot print it, write your full name & order number clearly on a piece of paper and include it.

3. Pack the Box

   • Use newspaper as padding around the flowers to keep them from moving.

   • Do not use bubble wrap or plastic.

   • Keep the flowers upright when packing.

4. Choose the Right Box

   • Use a maximum Medium Parcel size (Royal Mail size guide).

   • Make sure the box is sturdy and seal it securely with tape.

5. Post

   • Send via Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed for next-day delivery.

   • Mark the box “Fragile – Flowers” and ensure it stays upright during transit.

🚫 Don’ts When Posting Your Flowers

1. Don’t send via any courier other than Royal Mail Special Delivery.

2. Don’t use plastic bags or wrap flowers in plastic — it traps moisture and causes mould.

3. Don’t use bubble wrap — it damages delicate petals and traps moisture.

4. Don’t over-soak the kitchen roll — it should be slightly damp, not dripping wet.

5. Don’t let the foil touch the flower heads — only wrap over the damp tissue on the stems.

6. Don’t send your flowers without your name, order number, or Specifics Sheet.

7. Don’t use boxes larger than a Royal Mail Medium Parcel size — oversized boxes increase movement and risk of damage.

8. Don’t forget to mark the box “This Way Up” so it stays upright during transit.

9. Don’t delay — post your flowers as soon as possible after your event for best preservation results.
