Our request for a second choice (usually "as similar as possible") is necessary because occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers, incorrect pricing, etc. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays. Ordering early helps on the keepsake issue. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color or delay delivery a day so that we can get the correct flowers in from the supplier.
