📦 How to Ship Your Bouquet from California to Utah – Step-by-Step

Shipping your bouquet may sound intimidating, but don’t worry. Here’s a simple guide to follow.

✅ 1. Book Your Preservation Spot in Advance

Before you ship anything, be sure to book your bouquet preservation with us to reserve your spot on our calendar. We only take a limited number of clients each month to give your flowers the care they deserve.

Once you're booked, we’ll send you the full shipping guide — or you can check out our How to Ship page here.

✅ 2. Prepare Your Bouquet for Shipping

Here’s how to prep your flowers after your wedding (ideally within 1-2 days of the event):

• Trim the stems slightly  at an angle and wrap them with a damp paper towel
• Secure the damp towel with a  ziplock plastic bag and rubber band
• Store the bouquet in the fridge overnight (if possible — avoid freezing)
• Do not wrap the top of flowers in plastic
• Keep the bouquet upright and dry before packing

🔥 Tip for California Heat: Use a small cold pack wrapped in a towel and placed away from the petals to help during summer shipments. Avoid direct contact with the flowers. Try tapping the ice pack down so it doesn’t smash the flowers.

✅ 3. Pack Your Bouquet Carefully

You’ll need:

• A sturdy cardboard box
• Packing paper  (avoid bubble wrap directly on flowers)
• Your contact info + order number
• “FRAGILE” and “THIS SIDE UP” labels

How to Pack:

1. Place soft paper in the bottom of the box
2. Nest the bouquet upright
3. Fill all empty space to prevent shifting
4. Gently cushion the top
5. Seal and label clearly

✅ 4. Choose the Right Shipping Method

For California brides, we recommend:

🚚 Overnight shipping (preferred):

• Flowera. Go brown quickly this is the most important step is to have it shipped quickly 

✅ 5. Send Us the Tracking Info
