This FAQ explains how flower subscriptions work when they are offered by independent local florists. Each florist sets their own delivery area, pricing, and subscription options, and customers pay the florist directly at checkout.
A flower subscription is a recurring delivery of fresh flowers on a regular schedule. Local florists may offer weekly, fortnightly, or monthly deliveries, plus options like three months, six months, or flowers for a year.
Not always. Many national subscription services are designed for courier delivery and arrive in bud. A local florist subscription is different. The florist typically designs the flowers and delivers within their delivery area, so the flowers arrive as a hand delivered arrangement.
Payment timing depends on the florist and the subscription plan. In most cases the first payment is taken at checkout for the first delivery, and subsequent payments are taken automatically before each scheduled delivery. If anything needs changing, the quickest route is to contact the florist directly.
Many florists can pause or reschedule a subscription. The best approach is to contact the florist you ordered from with the dates you want to skip, and they can advise what options are available.
Most florists allow subscriptions to be cancelled, but the timing matters. Cancelling before the next payment date usually avoids the next charge. If you are unsure, contact the florist that is providing the subscription and they can confirm the next charge date and delivery schedule.
Yes. A subscription can be sent to someone else, for example a relative, a friend, or an office. During checkout you can usually choose a delivery address and add a card message, and the recipient can enjoy each delivery as it arrives.
The first delivery date is chosen at checkout, then future deliveries are usually aligned to the same weekday or schedule, based on the plan selected. If a different day is needed, many florists can adjust the schedule if you contact them.
This depends on the florist and the delivery location. Some florists may be able to leave flowers in a safe place, deliver to a neighbour, or attempt delivery again. If there are delivery instructions, it helps to add them during checkout.
Often the style and colour palette can be matched, but the exact stems may vary with seasonality and availability. Florists generally substitute with fresh, suitable stems to keep the overall look and value consistent.
Some florists can tailor subscriptions around preferred colours, favourite flowers, or sensitivities. Others keep subscriptions seasonal and surprise led. If you have a specific requirement, contact the florist before ordering, or add a note at checkout if available.
Yes. Many florists provide regular flowers for reception desks, meeting rooms, venues, and client areas. Businesses often choose weekly or fortnightly deliveries, with flexible invoicing or recurring payments depending on the florist.
Some florists offer better value when customers pay for multiple deliveries in advance, for example three months or six months. This varies by florist, and any discounts are shown on the florist subscription options if they are offered.
If something goes wrong, contact the florist providing the subscription as soon as possible. They can advise the quickest resolution, and may request a photo if flowers arrive damaged so they can assess what happened.
No. Subscription listings connect customers to independent florists. Orders remain direct between the customer and the florist, and the florist controls pricing, fulfilment, and customer care.
