Customer Reviews
I still have vases of them all over my home and as long as I change out the water every couple days they are still as fresh as when they first arrived! Just a few dry ones but the rest have bloomed and are soft, bright and fragrant!
Hi Lizzy! We're so happy you continue enjoying your flowers almost 2 weeks after delivery! Flower care is very important to ensure their vase life, so we're glad you're taking good care of them. We hope you keep trusting us for many more floral deliveries to come!
Fresh Cut Orange Marigold Flower
I needed orange marigolds for my Dia de los Muertos celebration. The flowers were delivered on time and in beautiful condition. I love that I was kept informed of the order status - when cut, packaged, on its way, and out for delivery on day of. Will happily order from FiftyFlowers again.
Hi Kaare!
It's wonderful hearing how our Marigolds helped you honour your dead. They're such a meaningful flower! We take great care in keeping our customers informed every step of the way, so that you can feel confident in your purchase. We're so glad that you appreciated our communication style.
Thank you for your trust and for keeping us in mind for future events. We're honored to be a part of them!
I purchased 5 bunches of marigolds. I was very concerned about how many would actually be in the delivery since I found a bunch of flowers could mean 5-12 stems. Each bunch had atleast 10-12 stems and the flowers were very beautiful. I was happy to see the flowers were indeed fresh and very beautiful for our Dia de los muertos ofrenda.
Hi Cindy!
We're so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our flowers for your Day of the Dead ofrenda. We're glad that we were able to ease your doubts about the quantity, and honored that you trusted us with your flowers for such a special occasion.
We know that Day of the Dead is a very spiritual day, and are grateful that you chose our flowers to help you honor your loved ones. We're committed to providing our customers with the highest quality flowers and customer service, and we're so glad that we could be a part of your celebration.
We hope to be your go-to for flowers for many more years to come!
I was blown away by the flowers we received from fifty flowers. We celebrated Day of the Dead for the first time and wanted marigolds to go along with our celebration but they are out of season where we live. The flowers we received were beautiful and are still going strong a week later. The company helped me decide the best day to have them delivered so they would look the best possible for our Day of the Dead dinner and celebration. They even made sure to refund us the Saturday shipping cost because they said a Monday delivery would be better for our event. I’m so glad we know where to order the marigolds every year!
Hi Bethany!
Marigolds are indeed the perfect flowers to celebrate the Day of the Dead, with their vibrant colors and rich symbolism representing the connection between the living and the dead. They're highly seasonal, but we're committed to sourcing them from our partner farms to ensure you can enjoy their beauty as long as possible.
We're so glad to hear that you found our suggestion about the delivery date helpful. We always strive to deliver our flowers at their peak freshness, ensuring they add a touch of splendor to your special occasions.
