When ordering flowers for any occasion, customers often have a few important questions. At Stem Design, we’re here to provide clarity and ensure you get the most out of your floral experience. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive:

1. How Long Do Fresh Flowers Last?

Fresh-cut flowers generally last between 5-10 days, depending on the variety. For example, carnations and chrysanthemums are known for their longevity, while tulips and roses may have a shorter lifespan. With proper care, such as changing the water daily and trimming the stems, you can extend the life of your flowers significantly.

2. What Are the Best Flowers for Specific Occasions?

Different flowers are traditionally associated with specific occasions. For instance, roses are popular for romantic occasions, lilies convey sympathy, and sunflowers are ideal for celebrations. At Stem Design, we’re happy to help you choose the perfect arrangement for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events to convey just the right message.

3. Are There Hypoallergenic Flowers?

Hypoallergenic options are essential for individuals sensitive to pollen. Flowers such as roses, orchids, and hydrangeas are excellent choices since they produce minimal pollen. If you’re looking for allergy-friendly options, we can create arrangements that use more greenery and pollen-free blooms.

4. How Much Should I Budget for Wedding Flowers?

Wedding flower costs can vary widely based on flower type, season, and the scope of the arrangements. Couples often budget between $1,500 to $3,500 for wedding flowers, but custom installations or out-of-season blooms may increase this amount. At Stem Design, we work with your vision and budget to create beautiful, tailored arrangements for your special day.

5. What Flowers Are In Season Right Now?

Seasonal flowers are fresher and often more affordable. Inquire with us to learn about the flowers available during your event or delivery month. Not only does choosing seasonal blooms add freshness to your arrangement, but it can also support sustainability and help you stay within budget.

6. How Do I Care for My Cut Flowers?

To keep your flowers looking their best, change the water daily, trim stems at an angle, and avoid placing them in direct sunlight or drafts. If you ever have questions about flower care, the team at Stem Design is here to help you with tips tailored to your bouquet.

7. How Does Flower Delivery Work?

We frequently receive inquiries about how flower delivery operates. At Stem Design, we offer convenient delivery options and policies to suit your schedule. If the recipient is not available at delivery, we provide the option to leave the flowers with a note and photo confirmation.

8. How Do I Choose the Right Arrangement Size?

The size of an arrangement can depend on its purpose and placement. For instance, centerpieces should be smaller so they don’t obstruct views, while larger arrangements are perfect for entryways. Share your vision with us, and we’ll create a design that fits your space beautifully.

9. Are Certain Flowers Symbolic?

Many flowers carry specific meanings. Roses symbolize love, lilies represent purity, and chrysanthemums signify friendship. If you’re looking to personalize an arrangement with meaningful flowers, Stem Design can guide you to options that convey the sentiment you have in mind.

10. Can I Customize My Arrangement for a Specific Color Theme?

Absolutely! Custom color themes are popular for weddings, corporate events, and home décor. Although availability may vary with the seasons, we can often dye or select flowers to align with your chosen palette. Reach out, and we’ll work to bring your color vision to life.
