Shipping Instructions
Fresh Flowers
- Prior to shipping, please keep flowers in fresh water in a cool place (but not the refrigerator!). Cut stems on an angle if possible.
- If possible: tape one or two frozen ice packs to the bottom of a box with duct tape.
- Place 3-4″ crumpled tissue or newspaper on top of the ice. NO plastic/bubble wrap this causes mold
- Lightly spray/sprinkle flowers with water. If hand-tied, put wet paper towels around the bottom of the stems and wrap again with plastic or foil.
- Wrap your bouquet in tissue paper as you would see done in a grocery store.
- Add another layer of crumpled paper on the sides and top. This is KEY to prevent your bouquet from bouncing around in the box creating bruises on your flowers.
- Seal the box closed with a fragile sticker on top.
- We will also need your information included with your bouquet. Print out a piece of paper with the following:
- Your Name
- Phone Number
- Address
- Email Address
- City, State, and Zip
- Wedding or Event Date - Ship your box overnight with morning delivery to: Petals By Pinto 942 Summit Ave Westfield, NJ 07090. Please mark your box FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP on the outside.
Dried Flowers
- Wrap pre-dried flowers in tissue paper.
- If you have a larger plastic bag, you can try to carefully cover the top of the bouquet.
- Fill the bottom of a box with tissue paper/newspaper so there is enough to lay the bouquet on.
- Put filler such as newspaper or a lot of tissue paper around flowers so they do not move around in the box, but be careful not to crush blooms
- Add more tissue paper on top
- Ship with a fragile sticker on top to : Petals By Pinto 942 Summit Ave Westfield, NJ 07090
All flowers are not created equal. Some flowers will preserve darker, especially red, pink and purple flowers. We want you to know this in advance so that you can have realistic expectations of what your final pieces will look like. Some flowers will have bruises. This is natural and is part of the process. Bruises are not visible on fresh flowers and are not visible until they are placed in resin. We like to consider flowers with bruises as having been loved a little extra. Bubbles are also standard in resins blocks and although we do our best to remove as many bubbles as we can, they are unavoidable.
