WARRANTY INFORMATION
As flowers are a product of nature they can be unpredictable. Sometimes flowering in and out of their seasons. Flowers on Q will attempt to supply the exact flowers for your chosen arrangement pictured within our website. At times where seasonal flowers are unavailable we will substitute with the most similar flower we have available to us. The pricing will always reflect the individual flowers used in the arrangement so it will be to the exact amount of your purchase as will the colours. We source only the freshest fresh flowers, however, some varieties do last longer than others and may be in the same arrangement. If some flowers fade quicker than others, gently take the faded flower out and enjoy the other flowers in your arrangement to its fullest. If you are not 100% happy with your arrangement, returns are accepted not more than 24 hours after purchase/delivery. We are always happy and willing to come to a resolve that is always in the customers favour should your complaint be legitiment.
CARE OF YOUR FRESH FLOWERS
Container Arrangements:
Your container arrangement will be delivered with a small amount of water in the bottom. Please ensure the container is topped up daily with fresh water. It is best to expel the residual water from the previous day to keep the container from unwanted flower stem odour.
Cut Flowers:
Cut flowers may contain a water bag filled with water. It is important to keep your flowers in an upright position to avoid spillage. To remove this waterbag, hold the bouquet over the sink and pierce the bag draining the water into the sink. Remove the wrapping if desired and prepare a vase of tepid water with flower preservative before trimming the stems. Trim 1-2cm off each of the stems and place immediately into your prepared vase. Change the water and recut the stems every day to two days for increased longevity.
General care of all flowers:
Always keep flowers out of hot vehicles, prolonged heat, draughts, direct sunlight and warm appliances. This will help to retain the flowers natural moisture and aid in longevity.
Always renew the water source with fresh water.
Gently pick off any stem greenery that has yellowed or flowers that are fading to keep the arrangement looking fresh.
If you have purchased Lily’s of any variety, as each flower opens remove the brown anthers to avoid staining your belongings.
Your flowers will enjoy a slight mist of water daily to keep them looking fresher for longer.
