Find a box the right size to fit your bouquet. If it is not quite tall enough trim a little off your stems to fit.

Make sure the box is not more that 60cm tall and weighs under 2kg or postage will increase and it will be sent with ParcelForce.

Clearly mark the box with FRAGILE and use a bold pen to draw some arrows pointing upwards marked, ‘THIS WAY UP FRESH FLOWERS.

Put a cardboard florist’s vase in the centre of your box. You could improvise with something similar, or you can buy one cheaply on amazon if you have time.

Screw up newspaper pages and stuff them around the edges of the box to hold it securely in place.

Do NOT use any bubble wrap or any plastic wrapping as it might make your flowers sweat and rot.

Carefully trim the edge of your flower stems at an angle to enable them to collect some moisture during travel. The bottom of the stems will have sealed up since your florist made the bouquet so you will be helping them to drink better.

Pop them in a vase and give them a soak in water. (Minimum 1-2 hours)

Once they have had a good drink of water, dampen some kitchen paper and fold it up around the BOTTOM of the stems to keep them moist for travel.

Do NOT spray or wet the flower heads as they may rot.

Put a sandwich bag around the kitchen paper and the bottom of the stems. This will stop the water from leaking all over the rest of your box. (You can also add kitchen foil wrapped around the kitchen paper before putting them in the sandwich bag as a bit of extra protection if you’d like.)

Use an elastic band to secure the plastic bag in place.

Put the bouquet carefully into the cardboard vase. It should fit quite snugly and not move around too much. Put some more newspaper in the vase if your bouquet is too wobbly.

Pack some more newspaper loosely around the sides and top of the bouquet.

DO NOT USE CLING FILM AROUND FLOWER HEADS/ BUBBLE WRAP OR ANY PLASTIC PROUCT TO PAD OUT THE BOX.

Please ensure there is a note inside on top of your flowers clearly stating your name and contact details as well as the date of the event. Please remove any charms or ribbon you would like to keep. I can not be held responsible for any sentimental items and I’m unfortunately unable to include them in the preservation.
