Common Ordering Questions

At SAH Floral Boutique we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services. It is important to remember that flowers are a perishable, natural product that will react to their immediate indoor environment and external weather conditions.

With more than 20 years experience, SAH Floral Boutique ensures only the freshest and highest quality flowers are hand selected and bought each day.
The most crucial period for flowers is in the first 24 hours, affecting the longevity of your flowers as they absorb half the water they require to survive during this time. This is why we send most of our designs out in water.

To increase the life span and enjoyment of your flowers, these instructions must be followed and include:
- Re-cut all stems approximately 2-3cm at an angle, this assists greatly in water absorption as the flower stems are not sitting flat on the bottom of the vase.
- Cut stems using sharp scissors or secateurs to ensure a clean cut, you do not want to squash the stems, as this reduces water absorption.
- Flowers must be positioned in a cool place away from draughts.
- Flowers must be kept away from heaters, televisions and microwaves.
- Flowers must be kept away from fruit as it releases a gas called ethylene, which accelerates the ageing process of flowers.
- Using a few drops of bleach or flower food preservative in the vase will assist in reducing bacteria from growing which reduces your flowers life span and makes the water smelly.

Unfortunately, once we dispatch our flowers a number of changes in conditions may result in their longevity being reduced. Air conditioning, extreme heat or changes in climate may have an adverse effect on the flowers. For this reason and considering all the possible variables, it is difficult for SAH Floral Boutique to guarantee life span in every case. We are aware there are cases when mother nature may produce blooms that don't exactly have the staying power we expect. In these rare instances, SAH Floral Boutique must be contacted within 48hours of delivery to assess the situation.

Regretfully, we cannot arrange a resend of fresh flowers to you if the original flowers are disposed of, thereby making them unavailable for our florists is a must so our florists can assess the cause of the problem.
