Ordering & Visiting
Do you sell to the public?
Yes — absolutely. You do not need to be a florist or hold a business license. We sell to DIY brides, event planners, fundraisers, schools, churches, photographers, and anyone who wants professional-quality flowers at wholesale prices.
Can I stop by and browse?
Mostly no — we are a pre-order wholesale supplier, not a retail flower shop. Flowers are sourced specifically for each order. In summer we keep popular greens in stock. Always worth a call before driving over.
How do I place an order?
Browse our catalog online, add flowers and supplies to your cart, and check out. Enter your wedding or event date at checkout — we use this to schedule your harvest and ensure peak freshness at pickup.
When should I order?
We recommend ordering 2–3 weeks before your event. For peak-season dates or large orders, 6–8 weeks is better. Orders placed less than 3 days before your pickup or delivery date (not counting the day you place the order) are subject to a rush fee of $12.50 or 15% of your order, whichever is greater.

Is there a minimum order?
No minimum order quantity, but orders under $25 are subject to a small order fee of $5.00.
What if something I order is not available?
We will contact you directly if any variety becomes unavailable. We can suggest substitutions or issue a credit. We never substitute without asking first.
Pickup & Care
When do I pick up my flowers?
For summer weddings, Thursday pickup is standard for a Saturday event. Winter weddings typically pick up Wednesday. We schedule your order based on your wedding date entered at checkout. Full timing guide →
What are your pickup hours?
Mon–Fri 10am–4pm, Saturday 10am–3pm. Pickup at 1638 NE Broadway, Portland OR 97232. Bring clean 5-gallon buckets — your flowers will be in water and need to travel upright.
Do I need to bring buckets?
Yes — we strongly encourage you to bring clean 5-gallon buckets. If you cannot bring buckets, we sell 5-gallon buckets, 2-gallon buckets, and Procona tubs at pickup. See our Pickup, Delivery & Shipping page for details.
Do you deliver?
Yes, local delivery is available in the Portland area. See our Pickup, Delivery & Shipping page for details and fees.
Flower Care
How do I care for my flowers when I get home?
Your flowers are already hydrated when you pick them up. At home: fill clean buckets with warm water and Floralife flower food, unwrap, place in water, and store in a cool room (55–65°F).
Can I refrigerate my flowers?
No — do not use a standard household refrigerator. The temperature is too cold and ethylene gas from fruit and vegetables damages blooms. A cool basement or cool room at 55–65°F is ideal.
How long do wholesale flowers last?
Properly conditioned wholesale flowers last 7–10 days. Most varieties will be at peak beauty 2–4 days after pickup — which is why Thursday pickup for a Saturday wedding works so well.

Where do your flowers come from?
Our buyers source direct from trusted growers in Ecuador, Colombia, Holland, and the Pacific Northwest. Flowers ship refrigerated — temperature-controlled the entire way.
DIY Weddings
Can I really make my own wedding flowers?
Yes — and thousands of brides have. Our DIY Wedding Flower Guide walks through everything step by step.
How many stems do I need?
Our Quantities Guide covers stem counts for every arrangement type. Always add 10% extra as a buffer. Or call us — we are happy to help you calculate.
Do you offer Wedding Flower Kits?
Yes — our Wedding Flower Kits combine flowers and greenery with quantities pre-calculated. Currently available: Classic White & Green and Romantic Blush. More palettes coming soon.
When should I pick up for a Saturday wedding?
Thursday for summer weddings, Wednesday for winter. All arrangements should be made on Friday. Full wedding week timeline →
Policies
Can I cancel or change my order?
See our Returns & Cancellations page for full details. Contact us as early as possible if you need to make changes.
Why is there a seasonal surcharge?
During peak holidays (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day) growers and freight carriers impose surcharges due to high demand. These are passed through at cost. Read more →
What is your photo disclaimer?
Product photos show representative examples. Exact shading, bloom size, and form vary naturally by season and growing conditions.
