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 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 flowers 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.

Gorgeous!

The colors of these flowers are just gorgeous! The arrangement was so easy to compile and looked like a million bucks! I would definitely order this set again!

Hi Haley! These arrangements are breathtaking! Thank you for sharing these pictures with us. I hope they made your wedding even more unforgettable.

This could not have been a better experience! The flowers were perfection in color, freshness, quality and quantity. The customer service and support that I received from James was above expectations. I made eight centerpieces and used the rest of the flowers in a wreath, tall vases, and occasional pieces around the large room at the bridal shower I gave my niece on 4/17/16. FiftyFlowers saved me nearly $300 (I priced out the same at a local florist). and the whole thing was so easy! Thank you so much FF.

On their own, these are fantastic full bouquets, and when we added the sunflowers and some of the texture flowers, we ended up with an array of different looks and no two arrangements were the same. These deep blue hydrangeas are incredible! They are the real deal and NOT sprayed! We'd ordered the smallest quantity for our flower test because I was skeptical about the blue color but they were show-stoppers (and they matched the bride's bright blue shoes)! The white flowers in this bouquet are perfect, too. The mums are just as lush as the bold hydrangeas, with just enough white roses included to make it look "bridal." And the shiny dark green foliage is a perfect complement.

Word of advice: Remove these fluffy bouquets from their plastic wrappers as soon as you receive them, so the hydrangeas can open fully without being crowded. When we tested a batch early, we had no problem, but with the unexpected wedding week heat wave, the roses and mums bloomed out early in the packages, crowding the blue hydrangeas and they did not all open with the same uniform blue that the test batch had. Light seems to influence that a little bit. (Ask your FiftyFlowers consultant about this.) Still, everything looked terrific and these bouquets are a glorious, easy choice!

They also offer this arrangement in a "deconstructed bouquet" option which may be easier if you're going to break these apart like we did. Same great flowers. Look closely at the site when you're shopping!

Beautiful flowers! The website does not give justice to just how pretty the hue is on the blue hydrangeas.

Kenton and I have a lot in common. After 5 years together, we agree on most everything. But as it turns out, our wedding was the one thing we definitely didn't agree on. My loving husband comes from a large, close-knit family, most of which are his best friends. I, on the other hand, come from a very small family who don't see each other very often. It was never my dream to have a big chapel wedding with hundreds of guests all looking at me as I walk down the aisle. In fact, it was a nightmare of mine! But Kenton always envisioned a scene where all of his family could gather and celebrate together. And so, our very first test was to figure out how we were going to go about tying the knot. After some looking around and a LOT of negotiations, we decided to have a private ceremony with immediate family and close friends to be followed by a public reception. We found the perfect place to celebrate our union at Swallow Falls State Park in Western Maryland. We are huge outdoor enthusiasts, you see. Some of our major passions include backpacking, hiking, bugs and wildlife. So naturally we would fall in love with an outdoor ceremony on the roots of an ancient Hemlock tree, overlooking the falls.

I knew I wanted this wedding to feel natural, but to make it unmistakably a wedding. I used wine bottles, all of which Kenton diligently peeled the labels off of, and old mason jars that I spray painted gold and dusted with vinegar to give a mottled look. We bought a beautiful heirloom macrame to provide a backdrop for the entrance to the pavilion. I visited Etsy more times than I count to find quality items at a great price, and came away with lovely table runners, gold hoops decorated with eucalyptus, and incredible prints welcoming our guests. We had a cousin that generously provided beer. A dear friend who wood burned our guest book. Another friend who made flower crowns. We borrowed outdoor patio lighting, water goblets and wine glasses from friends and family. We bought disposable wooden plates and silver ware, made our own apple butter favors.

We DIY'd so much not only because we were on a budget, but because we loved the step by step process of putting together our wedding! But the best, and I seriously mean the best, part of this whole process was ordering our flowers from Fiftyflowers. I knew I wasn't going to be able to use a florist, not on our budget. So I began looking around for reputable places that I could order from. Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Sam's Club, All Flowers etc...Nothing struck me as special or noteworthy until I found FiftyFlowers. I spent hours pouring over the selections, reading reviews and pricing my orders. I was beyond excited when I placed my final order, coming in under $700.

When the flowers arrived, I was ready. I had flower buckets that the local grocery store gave to me (pro tip- if you need buckets to store your flowers in, head to your grocery store and ask the floral department!) plenty of flower food (also from the grocery store!), a sharp pair of scissors and end-snips, and a clean, dark bathroom. The orders came in undamaged, I only lost two blooms as I un-packaged the lot. The instructions were simple and clear and the flowers needed nothing else, other than a little love.

Watching the flowers grow and bloom was so enjoyable. I was 100% sure that my flowers were going to survive until my wedding day. I ended up buying a few bunches of leather leaf, baby's breath and luecedendron because my local Kroger happened to have them and I just couldn't resist! Once I had all of my flowers tucked away in the bathroom, I pondered how best to transport them! We live over an hour away from the ceremony site and were setting everything up ourselves. Thankfully, I kept all of the boxes the flowers were originally shipped in and I was able to GENTLY repackage them for the trip. All except the roses and dahlias, which I had carefully tucked between the boxes.

The night before the wedding we checked into our lodge, just a few short minutes away from the park and I set to work on making the bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces. I had tons of twine from my craft drawer that I put to work on the bouquets instead of ribbon. I used floral tape to hold together the boutonnieres, all of which I affixed with a large safety pin. The centerpieces were made from leftover greenery and flowers by myself and all of my lovely ladies. Everyone had their own style and it showed in the floral work! I loved the team effort and the diversity. It was such fun to hang out with a bunch of great ladies and put everything together.

The next day we went to set up the pavilion at 7:00 AM! No sleep for this lady, but who can really sleep the night before their wedding, anyway? After a few short hours, we had the place clean, decorated and looking amazing. We had so many left over flowers we were able to make bunches of greenery to dangle from the rafters, to adorn the welcome sign, intersperse the catering ...
