You’ll need:
• Info: Name, order number, event date (include in box)
• A sturdy cardboard box large enough for your bouquet
• Packing paper or packing peanuts (no bubble wrap or plastic)
• Paper towel
• Rubber band
• Plastic bag

Trim the stems so they fit comfortably inside the box, then wrap them in a damp paper towel to keep them hydrated. After that, cover the towel or foam with a plastic bag and secure it with a rubber band to help protect and preserve the flowers during transport.

Add packing paper or peanuts to fill the bottom half of the box, then place your bouquet inside with the wrapped stems facing down. Gently surround and cover the blooms with more packing material until they’re fully cushioned and secure. Avoid using bubble wrap or any plastic directly on the flowers, as it traps moisture and can cause damage.

Fill out your client information sheet and double-check that all order details are correct, then place the sheet on top of the packing.

If you’re local to Axtell, reach out to me and we can arrange a time for you to drop off your blooms, or you’re welcome to use one of our local drop-off spots. If you’re shipping instead, purchase your label directly through UPS or FedEx using 1–2 day shipping, with overnight being ideal when possible. For the best results, plan to ship your blooms within five days of your event.
