Your bulk Gardenia flowers are shipped directly from our Californian partner flower farms. Before shipping your flowers we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully. 

1. They will arrive in a plastic container with a special paper wrap. 
2. Leave your flowers in the packaging until the day of the event. Place the box in the refrigerator. These flowers are sensitive to ethylene gas emitted by fresh fruits and vegetables, so be sure to remove all fruits and veggies from the fridge before storing your flowers! 
3. When ready to decorate, simply open the packaging and arrange as desired. Be aware that Gardenias do not have a stem, and must be wired or glued while arranging.

For your Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you arrange to have your Gardenia flowers delivered 1 to 2 days before the actual event. For a Saturday wedding your flowers should be delivered on the Thursday or Friday before the wedding.
