If the recipient isn’t home, our driver will either leave the flowers in a safe, sheltered spot or arrange a re-delivery at a later time. We always prioritize the freshness of your arrangement and the security of the delivery location. If our driver finds a safe, weather-protected spot—such as a covered porch, a leasing office, or with a building doorman. We will leave the flowers there. Our team will then immediately call, text, or leave a physical delivery tag for the recipient so they know exactly where to find their surprise. However, if there is no safe location, or if the extreme local weather poses a threat to the blooms, we will not leave them behind. Because flowers are highly sensitive living products, we never leave arrangements exposed to direct summer heat above 85°F or freezing New England winter temperatures at or below 35°F. In these situations, our driver will safely transport the flowers back to our shop in a climate-controlled vehicle. We will then contact either the sender or the recipient to schedule a convenient re-delivery time or arrange a shop pickup.

Yes, we deliver flowers directly to hospitals, corporate offices, and event venues throughout Cambridge and the Greater Boston area. In addition to residential home deliveries, our team routinely services major local medical centers, business parks, and private event spaces. To ensure your arrangement arrives safely and reaches the correct person, please provide the complete delivery address along with any specific location notes during your checkout process. For hospital flower deliveries, we highly recommend including the recipient's full name, the specific hospital building or pavilion, and the room number, if available. Please note that some specialized hospital wards, such as Intensive Care Units (ICU), have strict health protocols and may not accept live floral arrangements. In those instances, our delivery drivers will coordinate directly with the hospital's main reception desk, nursing station, or security desk to follow their exact internal drop-off procedures. For corporate offices, university campuses, and public event venues, please specify whether the flowers should be left at the front desk, with a building concierge, or at a main security checkpoint. Providing a direct phone number for either the recipient or a designated on-site contact person ensures our drivers can swiftly resolve any building access issues.

Yes, you can absolutely include add-ons like balloons, candles, greeting cards, succulent plants, and teddy bears to personalize your floral arrangement or bouquet.

When shopping online, you will see a full list of available premium add-ons displayed directly on each flower arrangement's product page and again during your checkout process. Our popular flower delivery add-on options include handwritten custom greeting cards, premium scented candles, celebratory helium balloons, soft plush teddy bears, and long-lasting mini succulent plants that serve as a wonderful keepsake long after the flowers fade. Celebration Balloons: Mylar and latex balloons tailored for birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, or get-well-soon wishes. Gourmet Chocolates: Premium, gift-boxed Russell Stover chocolates that add a delicious, sweet touch to any romantic arrangement, holiday centerpiece, or birthday bouquet. Scented Candles: Premium, hand-poured, long-lasting candles from a local artisan that pair beautifully with fresh blooms to create a relaxing home atmosphere. Custom Greeting Cards: Handwritten card options to ensure your personalized, heartfelt message is delivered directly with the flowers. Succulent Plants: Miniature, easy-to-care-for potted succulents that serve as a lasting keepsake long after the flowers fade. Plush Teddy Bears: Soft, high-quality stuffed animals that add a comforting touch to romantic bouquets, newborn baby arrangements, or get-well gifts.

To make your flowers last longer, trim the stems at an angle, place them in clean water with flower food, and keep the arrangement in a cool spot away from direct sunlight. Taking these simple steps will significantly extend the life and vibrancy of your fresh floral bouquet. Hand-wrapped bouquet: When your delivery arrives, start by preparing a clean vase filled with cool or room-temperature water. Mix in the packet of floral food provided with your arrangement, as this delivers vital nutrients while keeping bacteria from growing in the water. Before placing the flowers in the vase, use sharp shears or a knife to trim at least one inch off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. Trimming on an angle prevents the stems from sitting flat against the bottom of the vase, allowing them to hydrate much more efficiently. Be sure to strip away any leaves that fall below the water line, as submerged foliage will rot quickly and shorten the lifespan of your blooms. Vase arrangement: To maintain their freshness over the coming days, change the water completely and re-trim the stems every two days. The environment where you display your flowers is just as critical as their hydration. Keep your arrangement in a cool room completely away from direct sunlight, heating vents, air conditioners, and drafty windows. Additionally, keep your flowers away from fresh fruit bowls; ripening fruits like bananas and apples release ethylene gas, an aging hormone that will cause your delicate flower petals to wilt and drop prematurely.
