Shipping Instructions

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and on making the choice to have your flowers, Evermore!

 Help your flowers arrive in the best condition possible by following the instructions and guidelines below.  It is really helpful to get the supplies ahead of time to set aside and designate someone to help with shipping your flowers out if needed. 

Please remove any florals you wish to keep back for yourself or any heirloom pieces that might be in your bouquet that you do not wish to include in your preservation.

 Flower Care

Day of: Come up with a plan to keep your flowers hydrated when you are not using them throughout the day and until it is time to ship or deliver.

If you are sending corsages or boutonnieres, remove them prior to the reception and place them in a container with a lid and damp paper towel at the bottom. Pop them into a refrigerator ASAP.

These first steps are SO IMPORTANT, but often overlooked in the busyness of the day.

If you plan on incorporating the tradition of a tossed bouquet into your wedding, have a smaller one made. Tossing your bouquet will bruise the delicate petals and hinder the condition of the flowers for preservation.

Next day: Give the ends a quick snip under running water and place in a vase with flower food, fresh cool water, and out of direct sunlight until you are ready to ship. 

During travel for drop off: Be sure to keep flowers in water and consider putting the bouquet and vase in a box surrounded by packing paper for stability.

Shipping Instructions

For best results, it is recommended that you ship your flowers as soon as possible after your wedding and to use UPS or Fed X to ship overnight.

Please remove any florals you wish to keep for yourself or any heirloom pieces that might be in your bouquet that you do not wish to include in your preservation.

If you have any additional questions regarding shipping your flowers out, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Large Box (big enough to fit your bouquet, this can be a box you reuse of your own or get at Home Depot/ Lowes)

• Smaller box

• Index card

• Black sharpie marker

• Tissue Paper or Packaging Paper (No Plastic)

• Packing Tape

• 2 Full Squares of Paper Towel

• Scissors

• Plastic Baggie

• 3 Rubber Bands

• 2 Flexible cold packs

.01 Trim

Give the ends of your flowers a fresh snip about 1/2 in up the stems at a 45-degree angle.

**More of the stem may need to be removed to fit your box.

**If your flowers have a bouquet form in the center you can either remove the stems from it yourself and proceed with the instructions or rehydrate the floral foam and tuck the cold pack in as best as you can. Then, secure and cover with the plastic bag and proceed to gently wrap your flowers with tissue paper or paper packaging.

.02 Hydrate

• Layer the two squares of paper towel on top of each other and dampen well. Gently wring out the paper towel so it’s dmp, but not soaking.

• Fold layered paper towels into a triangle.

.03 Wrap

• Lay the paper towel down with the point of the triangle facing you and then lay the flowers on the paper towel, stems facing you.

• Fold the point up over them stems and wrap the sided around the stems.

• Use a rubber band to secure in place.

• Wrap the paper towel covered stems with the two cold packs.

• Place the paper towel wrapped stems and cold pack inside the plastic baggie and secure with a rubber band.

• Wrap the tissue paper or packing paper gently around the blooms of the flower to make somewhat of a wrapped bouquet.

.04 Pack

Important! Please do not use plastic or plastic like cushion/ bubble wrap to pack your flowers. Doing so will cause rapid decay . Instead be sure to use a paper product such as tissue paper, newspaper, or packing paper that will allow your flowers to breathe.

• Take the smaller box and it tape it the bottom of the large box. Place the wrapped stems inside the smaller box. This acts as a stabilizer to help hold your flowers upright.

• Place a good cushion of tissue paper or packing paper around the base of the smaller box to stabilize it.

  If you are sending boutonnieres or corsages, place these in their containers near the cold packs in the packing process.

• Gently continue to tuck in tissue paper around your bouquet to fill in any negative space in the large box.

• When you get to the top of the bouquet, crumple a few pieces of tissue paper and gently flatten them and lay them on the top of your bouquet to help protect against bruising.

• Add an index card with your name and phone number on it and lay on top of the last layer of tissue paper.
