Please Note
Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is absolutely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.
As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original flower choice, even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.
Caring for Your Flowers
Our flowers are shipped fresh directly from our farms to your doorstep. When you first open the box, your flowers might appear "sleepy" or "thirsty," which is completely normal. These flowers have just completed an international journey and need water. Following the important care and preparation steps below will help rehydrate them and ensure they last as long as possible.
Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Arrangement
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
Unpack and Inspect: Cut any straps to remove flowers from the box, but leave their protective packaging and rubber bands on for the first 4 hours of hydration. As you unpack, check your blooms for any visible concerns.
Process Immediately: Begin the steps below immediately upon opening the box to ensure your flowers rehydrate and recover from their journey.
Step 2: Prepare the Containers
Choose Clean Buckets or Vases: Ensure your containers are clean and sanitized to remove soap residue, bacteria, and dirt, which can shorten flower life.
Fill Containers: Add at least 4 inches of cool, fresh water, and mix in flower food if available.
Step 3: Trim and Place in Water
Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent mold or bacteria growth.
Cut Stems Correctly: Use clean, sharp floral shears to cut stems diagonally about 1 inch from the bottom. Avoid household scissors, as they pinch the stems and block water absorption.
Place and Space: Place the freshly cut stems into the prepared water immediately, ensuring enough space in each container to allow the flowers to bloom properly.
Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain
Hydration Time: Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate, though 8 to 12 hours is ideal. After hydrating, remove any protective packaging, rubber bands, and guard petals, if present (outer layers that may look bruised or brown).
Store in a Cool Place: Keep flowers in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat. Avoid placing them in a refrigerator, as this can harm flowers.
Monitor Water Levels: Flowers drink heavily upon arrival, so check frequently to ensure all stems are always submerged. If the water drops below the stems, refill immediately and recut them before placing them back in the container.
Step 5: Time to Design
Ready to Arrange: After completing the hydration and processing steps above, your flowers are now ready for design.
Recut and Maintain: As you design, make sure to recut the stems and maintain water levels.
Refresh Regularly: Change water daily and recut stems every 24-48 hours to keep flowers fresh.
Tips from Our Experts
Always keep flower buds above the bucket or vase rim to prevent your blooms from bruising.
Warm environments speed up blooming, while cooler areas slow it down. Adjust storage as needed, but always avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Use a floral finishing spray after arranging blooms to help them last longer.
Precautions
Tinted Flowers: Tinted roses may release color into the water, which is perfectly normal. To keep the water clear and clean, be sure to change it regularly. Tinted water can also stain surfaces, so be cautious. The dye may transfer to skin or clothing, so we recommend wearing gloves while handling. For added protection, especially with clothing like a white wedding dress, wrap the stems to prevent dye from transferring.
Thorns: Flowers with thorns require extra care. Wear gloves when handling them, and consider using a thorn stripping tool for added ease and safety.

Customer Reviews
These flowers are so whimsical and fun! They arrived in great condition except the ranunculus which about 1/3 were unusable due to broken stems at the top of the flower. Some of the others we had to wire for support. The ones we received in good condition were beautiful and absolutely made the bouquet! My package did not include any feverfew daisies and to my knowledge there was not a substitute given. Honestly the bouquets turned out stunning without it but we were struggling with the filler flower amounts. It definitely felt like there should have been more. By the time I realized the feverfew was not there my mother in law had discarded the boxes (the flowers were shipped to her home). This was a test order done for the engagement party so not the actual wedding. Despite these 2 hiccups the flowers were the talk of the party and the colors were beautiful. We supplemented this blend with the Romantic Antique Cabbage Roses. I highly recommend this blend of flowers if you’d like something a little bit playful!
Hi Ashley! Thank you for your feedback on our Ethereal Gardens DIY Flower Kit! We're glad to hear that you found the flowers whimsical and fun, and that they arrived in great condition. We apologize for the missing stems. We will ensure that all future orders are of the highest quality. We're so happy that the bouquets turned out stunning and were the talk of the party! Thank you for the recommendation and we hope to provide you with even better service in the future. We love the final look!
The Ethereal Garden kit is gorgeous. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. Every.single.flower was perfect except for a single ranunculus that was bent. I can 100% forgive a single flower. Weather delayed them a day and that stressed me the heck out, forcing us to put everything together the day before the wedding and not getting to the welcome dinner but the pay off was worth it. Also the delay had nothing to do with Fifty Flowers. I really can’t say enough about how gorgeous our arrangements came out and we got so many compliments.
Hi Collen! Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you loved our Ethereal Gardens DIY Flower Kit and that it helped create dreamy arrangements for your special day. We apologize for the delay in delivery, but we are glad that everything worked out in the end. Thank you for choosing Fifty Flowers and we hope to work with you again in the future! We love the final look!
I cannot recommend Fifty Flowers or the Ethereal Gardens kit enough!! My wedding had a modest budget so I had to get really creative with a few things, flowers being one of them. I absolutely love flowers but couldn't afford to work with a florist, so I was planning on going to Trader Joe's and other grocery stores a couple days before and just doing everything myself, but I was really nervous that I wouldn't get flowers I wanted. We got married in late November in Kansas City so I knew the bright, wildflower kind of look I dreamt about would be really hard to acheive on my own. Someone recommended Fifty Flowers and IMMEDIATELY i knew I could have exactly what I wanted. The DIY flower kit made it so easy to trust that someone else would pick out all the right flowers to match the vibe I wanted, but it worked in my budget. We ended up hosting a Flower Shower on Friday morning before the Saturday wedding for all women visiting from out of town to gather and help assemble all the flowers which made it so special because then so many of our guests got to enjoy the flowers at the wedding so much more since they had a part in it. We ordered the medium kit with ~250 stems and had enough for a bridal bouquet, 6 bridesmaid bouquets, 2 small bouquets for the moms, 7 pocket square arrangements for the groom/groomsmen, and bud vases for 20 tables (3+ bud vases per table with 2-3 stems per vase). We did supplement with some flowers my MIL had purchased for the rehearsal dinner, but it really was not a lot of extra. I absolutely love how they turned out, I love that we got to do them ourselves, I'm so grateful it saved us so much money, and I'm so grateful someone else was responsible for making sure all of the chosen stems would look good together lol. Thank you fifty flowers!!

These flowers combined with some locally grown wildflowers made for the most beautiful wedding bouquets and arrangements. They came in 2 separate shipments about and hour apart and arrive wrapped in cardboard with larger blooms having a protective net over them. They arrived in phenomenal condition on Wednesday 9/11 for my wedding on Saturday 9/14. With the proper care and storage these blooms lasted perfectly until Saturday (which I was a little worried about). They were so easy to arrange and I would 10/10 recommend!
