Once It Arrives
Nothing here is complicated, and all of it makes a real difference to how long a bouquet holds up:
Unwrap it and get it into water quickly.
Flowers travel out of water. The sooner they are drinking again the better, so do this before anything else rather than leaving the box on the bench.
Cut two centimetres off each stem, on an angle.
A fresh angled cut opens the stem and stops it sitting flat on the bottom of the vase. Use sharp scissors or a knife — blunt blades crush the stem and close it up.
Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline.
Submerged leaves rot, the water goes cloudy, and cloudy water is what shortens a vase life more than anything else.
Use a clean vase and cool water.
Wash the vase properly, not just a rinse. If the bouquet came with flower food, use it — it is a mix of sugar and something to keep bacteria down.
Keep it away from heat, sun and fruit.
A sunny windowsill, a heat pump or a fruit bowl will all shorten it. Ripening fruit gives off ethylene, which ages flowers noticeably faster.
Change the water every two days and re-trim.
Fresh water and another centimetre off the stems. This is the single habit that separates a bouquet lasting a few days from one lasting a week or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the bouquet look exactly like the photograph?
Very close, not identical. A florist builds each bouquet from what is good that week, and substitutes for like — same colour, same weight, same feel — when a variety is not available. The style, palette and size will match; an individual bloom may differ. That is how fresh flowers work everywhere, not a shortcut.
Does it come in a vase?
Not unless the listing says so. Bouquets arrive hand-tied and wrapped, ready to be cut and put straight into water. The store sells glass vases separately if you need one, and there are several in the related row above.
How long will it last?
It depends on the flowers, the season and where you put it. What you can control is the setup: trim two centimetres off each stem on an angle, use a properly clean vase, strip any leaves below the waterline, keep it away from sun, heat and the fruit bowl, and change the water every couple of days. Those habits make a bigger difference than anything else.
Can I ask for particular flowers or colours?
Ask the store. Put a note on your order and they will tell you what is possible for the day you want it — fresh stock is the constraint, not willingness.
Can I include a card or a gift?
Yes. The store sells small gift cards, chocolates, soft toys and balloons, and they can go in the same order. Add them to the cart alongside the bouquet.
What if it arrives damaged?
Photograph it as it arrived and contact the store the same day — fresh flowers are time-sensitive and an early message gives them room to put it right. Returns are handled by the store that sold the item, and nothing in a store's policy limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?
The base delivery fee is $5 NZD, with free delivery on orders above $69 in the Auckland region — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
