How Long Does a Flower Order Take?
If you’re placing an order for pickup at the shop, please plan for approximately 60–90 minutes. Sometimes we can have it ready sooner. Other times, particularly during busy days or holidays, it may take longer.
Why?
Our designers need time to hand select the flowers, prepare each stem, hand-craft your design, and give it a final look before it goes out the door. With flowers, the individual blooms need to be selected and prepared before your arrangement can be made.
If you need something right away, our grab-and-go cooler is your best option. If you want something made specifically for you, give us a little time to make it happen.
Ordering Flowers for Homecoming or Prom?
High school dance flowers like homecoming or prom corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets need a little more planning.
Flowers need time to properly hydrate and be prepared before they are used. Wearable flowers also need to be carefully designed and inspected so they're ready to look beautiful and hold up throughout the event. That's why homecoming and prom orders have cutoff windows.
For Valparaiso and Chesterton schools, our order cut off is typically the Tuesday before the dance, give or take one business day. For other area schools, we may sometimes be able to accept orders up to 48 hours prior to the dance, depending on the volume of orders.
Also, it's our store policy that all dance flowers are picked up on the day of the dance, no exceptions. This ensures the quality of our finished designs and is done in fairness to our loyal, pre-order customers.
