Planning and organizing your flower strategy is important for a stress-free bride when doing your wedding flowers. Determine what types of floral arrangements and bouquets you want to create, your budget, and what flowers are best for your wedding flowers. When choosing flowers, consider the color scheme and texture that best matches your wedding day vision. Save hours of guesswork and streamline your wedding planning process with WedSites.

Order Flowers in Advance to Reduce Stress
Be stress-free by ordering flowers at least 2-3 weeks before your wedding date to avoid being surprised by sudden changes. Choose a delivery date two days before your event so you have time to hydrate and prepare.
Be Flexible with Wedding Flowers
Keep an open mind if a specific flower type is unavailable and a substitution is offered. Although we do everything possible to get your floral must-haves, market availability is beyond our control. The key to picking wedding flowers is flexibility. Fresh-cut flower orders may require substitutions due to the nature of the supply chain. Sometimes, it’s the flower’s type, size, and color. Blooms By The Box works with a network of growers and suppliers, and the availability of certain flowers can vary depending on the time of year, weather, and other factors. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the availability of certain flowers and must substitute them with different types of flowers to fulfill the order. I assure you that Blooms By the Box flower experts will make substitutions compatible with your order selections.
Get Help
Choose the people who will assist in creating your flower arrangements, transporting, and setting up the flowers. Give them an idea of the size, shape, and design you are looking for, and if you have inspirational photos, share them. Make sure they understand the timeline and have the necessary supplies. Assign tasks to each person and provide any additional information they may need. Creating a prototype together before your wedding is even an option.
Proper Flower/Storage
When your flowers arrive, they’ll be tired and thirsty from their journey. Having all the supplies you need to prepare your flowers properly is essential. To do this, you must purchase floral buckets (the number of buckets required depends on the number of flowers/greenery ordered). You will also need access to fresh water, a cool place to store them, and floral scissors or a knife. There are also Floral Supply Kits available to purchase. Remove all the packaging from the box and the flowers. After removing them from the packaging, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle. Remove leaves below the waterline and place them in clean buckets filled with fresh water. When rehydrating the flowers, avoid overcrowding them. Before arranging them, let them rehydrate overnight in a cool place.
