PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT IMAGES

Fresh flowers, arrangements and their containers can vary in size and colour and some flowers are seasonal. We maintain a full range of fresh flowers, all year round. On occasion, some colours or styles of flowers can be out of stock

Our flower arrangements are unique and handcrafted, so no two arrangements are ever the same. Every effort is made to match orders as closely as possible to the product photographs and descriptions. While slight variations are sometimes necessary, the concept and quality of the item ordered are always guaranteed.

 

Illustrations, photographs, dimensions and descriptions of Products on our Website are intended as a general guide to the Products only and do not form part of our contract with you. Products may vary slightly in appearance from those depicted on the Website There may be minor variations in the bouquet’s composition and shape. Photographs of flower bouquets represent the average bouquet size. Please see our Substitution Policy below.The images we use to illustrate local florist products are pictures and do not represent any particular brand.

Vases and other items are not included, unless explicitly stated in the product description. In the event of quality-related issues, we kindly request you send a digital picture of the delivered product to us

Should the main flower type in the bouquet have to be replaced, we will attempt to notify you; if we are unable to reach you, we will proceed with the substitution to prevent delays in the order delivery. Roses, however, will never be substituted with other flowers without requesting your confirmation first.

If we do not have a certain additional product, the delivery will be made without said item and we will refund the sum of the product in question.

COLOUR SUBSTITUTION POLICY

Our florist may make changes to the colour of the flowers, but will maintain the overall shades of the bouquet displayed on the website.
