2. Are fresh flowers available in all gift box orders?
Daily Fresh flowers are options in almost all hand delivered gift box purchases. Any shipped orders will include seasonal bunch of dried flower(s).
3. How will the gift box flowers survive?
Our gift box flower bouquets arrive in a small vase with water. Our daily flower bouquets are are wrapped in eco-friendly hydration wraps (vases can be purchased as add ons). All of our flowers come with flower care instructions but upon arrival, we recommend: 1) checking the water level immediately and adding cool water if needed; 2) displaying the bouquet in a cool location out of direct sunlight and avoiding excessively hot or cold areas such as ac and heating units; 3) and removing flowers from the arrangement as they die to prolong the life of the remaining flowers.
4. Can I pick the flowers in my arrangements or gift boxes?
Unfortunately, flowers cannot be picked - the flowers of the day are seasonal and are dependent on the flowers available at market that season.
5. What are House of Lilac fresh flower bouquets?
Our fresh flowers bouquets are a high quality selection of florals conditioned, cleaned, styled and wrapped in kraft paper. Please note, these are not floral arrangements; they are cut floral stems and greens, hand picked fresh from the floral market, styled, and bundled in house. They are meant to be arranged by the recipient upon receipt to their taste and liking. They are hydrated during transit. Vases can be purchased separately as an add on.
We highly advise that the recipient unwrap the bundle immediately upon receipt, fill a vase about halfway with fresh water, and arrange the florals to their liking.
*Please note that we will not be held responsible for the condition of bouquets once the florals and their quality are confirmed and signed for by the person receiving the bouquet.
