A bunch is simply a stem count for how we group the flowers together. For example, a 10 stem bunch means that 10 stems are bundled together and placed into the box. So if you receive five 10 stem bunches, you will receive 50 stems in total.
Interested in a specific flower or greenery? Visit the product page that has the specific item you're interested in and scroll below the photos. The bunch size information can be found in the Product Details tab.
We suggest you place your flower order at least two weeks to one month prior to your event. Next day orders may be possible depending on flower variety and availability. However, ordering in advance locks in current prices and improves availability chances. Orders come on a first come, first serve basis.
The earliest orders will be fulfilled first. This is very important if a specific variety sells out. Waiting to the last moment could risk that we are sold out of the specific flower you need. After we receive your order, a customer service representative will call you to verify your order. Most importantly, ordering in advance allows you to check this task off your to-do list!
Bridal bouquets come in all sizes and styles. If we categorize them as simple, standard and large, then a standard bouquet averages 15-20 flowers. Of course, this depends on which layout you will use, the flowers you choose, the amount of greenery you use as well as your personal tastes. If you browse through books, magazines and the internet and find a bouquet that you love, we can help you determine which flowers they use and the number you will need!
We do not provide flower food regularly with our flowers. Since our flowers are shipped directly from the farms, we have chosen not to include flowers food due to agricultural inspections. Flower food is not 100% necessary to add to the water, yet it will extend the vase life of your flowers. Our flowers have been properly prepared for their journey.
The most important steps you can take to ensure long-lasting flowers are to follow the care instructions lists on each flower’s page of our website, which includes cutting the flower’s stem diagonally and placing it in fresh cool water. However, if you would like to use flower food, you may find it at your local garden center, florist or grocery store.
Our roses are shipped in bud form without being groomed, so their guard petals are included. Fresh-cut bulk roses must be groomed upon arrival. This includes cutting the stems, hydrating them in water, and removing all foliage and guard petals. Guard petals can appear brown, deformed or just ugly. These petals must be removed. In fact, a florist will remove 5 to 10 petals per rose before selling them to the general public, so do not be alarmed if you must pluck the outer layers of petals before you have a beautiful rose!
If you continue to doubt the quality of your rose after removing the guard petals, please know that we will need to see the flowers in order to diagnose the browning of your roses. Please send digital pictures of the flowers to [email protected] as soon as possible. This is the standard procedure that we must follow to issue claims with the farm. As soon as we receive the pictures, we will call you.
Hydrangeas are delicate flowers that require special care. We first suggest selecting a delivery date 1 to 2 days prior to your event. Once you receive your hydrangeas, please follow these care instructions to keep your blooms beautiful:
1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps. Do not remove the rubber bands holding the flowers together in a bunch.
2. Fill 2 containers one with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water and the other with warm water.
3. Using sharp scissors or a knife under running water, cut the stems diagonally approximately an inch from each stem’s bottom edge.
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared warm water for approximately 5 seconds then place the flowers into the cool water.
5. Remove any fading petals. It is normal to find several fading petals, all of which can be easily removed without damaging the Hydrangea.
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat.
7. Allow your flowers at least 4 hours to properly hydrate before arranging.
8. Change water and re-cut stems every 24 hours to keep flowers fresh. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.
To refresh the flower, dunk the entire flower head in cool water for approximately 20 minutes. Hydrangeas are also great for dried arrangements. To dry them, simply hang them upside down, preferably in a warm place for a few days. Hydrangeas may lose a little color in the process but the dried flowers will last for eight months or longer.
All of our flowers are bunched in 25 stems. It is impossible to receive an incomplete bunch. Our roses are layered in 2 rows - when you look directly down at the bunch you will count only 12 roses, but in an inner layer are the remaining 13 roses. Please count the stems if you would like to double check. This is a standard way of bunching flowers so that they travel safely and arrive ready to bloom.
For rose petals, it is best to choose a delivery date 1 to 2 days before the event. For example, choose a Thursday or Friday delivery date for a Saturday event. Upon arrival, open the box and inspect the rose petals. If you will be using the petals in the next 48 to 72 hours, leave the petals in their packaging and store them in a cool dry place. There is no need to store them in the refrigerator. Our rose petals will last over 72 hours without refrigeration. On the day of the event, open each bag and arrange as desired!
The tint will NOT rub off of our tinted flowers. However, the color may leave the flower through open cuts in the stem, including the open sore where leaves may have been removed. For this reason, it is important to wear gloves while preparing and arranging tinted flowers. This tint may stain skin, hands and fabric. The tint seeps more easily when the stem is wet. Also, the tint will affect the natural color and quality of the leaves. Depending on the flower, you may choose to remove these leaves, which is quite normal for many of our tinted products.
Once placed in water, the tint will affect the color of the water. This is absolutely normal. Simply change the water at least once per day to keep your flowers fresh.
The color of our tinted flowers may vary to some degree. Flowers react differently to tints. Some petals may not absorb the tint 100% and the color may be darker on some petals than on others.
Over 90% of our bulk flowers are not shipped in water tubes because we use a different hydration method to prepare your flowers for their journey that does not require water tubes. Prior to leaving the farm, our flowers properly hydrated with a solution that keeps them at an ideal condition during their 1-4 day journey in refrigerated vehicles. Yet once they are removed from these environments and arrive to your doorstep, further immediate steps are required to ensure a healthy flower. Please make sure that when you receive the flowers to follow our Care and Handling instructions outline and easy step by step process on re-hydrating the flowers.
We do have some products that are spray tinted, dyed, and painted. These products will say this in the product name or in the product description. Tinting and dying is done to create or enhance colors that are not found naturally. However, most of our flowers receive their beauty the old fashioned way…from nature. Our natural flowers are never dyed or manipulated in order to maintain more vibrant colors.
A general rule for non-bridal-party guests that will receive flowers is that men wear a single flower boutonniere and women receive a corsage with 2 to 3 flowers.
Bouquets come in a variety of styles, the most popular being posy, nosegay, round, hand-tied, cascade, pageant, and pomander. If you copy and paste the following link in your browser, a description of these styles is available.
Keep in mind that greenery is an inexpensive way to add volume, beauty and character to any arrangement. Please click on All Flowers, then on Greens to browse through our wide variety of greenery.
We pack our rose petals according to weight, not numbers. Each bag weights 200 grams, containing no less than 8 cups and no more than 12 cups of rose petals. Although we don’t know exactly how many rose petals are in each bag, we’ve tested our petals and determined that one bag contains an average of 460 petals, allowing us to offer two packages of 6,000 petals (13 bags) and 12,000 petals (26 bags). One bag will completely cover an area approximately of 19 x 10 inches. Of course, petals are ideally used when spread out, so the number of bags that you will need ultimately depends on how thick of coverage you like.
When you submit an online order you will receive an e-mail confirmation. If you did not receive an e-mail, simply contact us via email at [email protected] or give us a call at 1-877-50 ROSES (507-6737) and we can confirm your order for you or send you another email confirmation.

Unfortunately, we do not offer smaller flower packs than what is offered on our web site. All of our flower boxes are specially designed to accommodate a specific amount of flowers to guarantee that they arrive perfectly, and don't get jostled around during transit. If we packed less or more, it would cause the flowers to shift during transportation and/or the flowers to get bruised or damaged.
If you would like to completely cancel your flower order you must do so at least 8 business days prior to your first scheduled delivery date. No cancellations will be accepted within 7 business days of a scheduled delivery date. Many of our products are shipped from Ecuador, South America, and are often being processed for their journey several days prior to the delivery date. Once the product has been shipped, changes are not possible. If you wish to cancel your FiftyFlowers.com order please send an e-mail to [email protected], with the subject heading CANCEL. Please type your order number along with your name and address in the body of the email. You will receive an email notice verifying cancellation of your order within 48 hours. Cancellations are subject to a fee equal to 25% of the total order amount. Fiftyflowers will refund the amount you paid minus the 25% cancellation processing fee.
Why the fee? We must charge a 25% cancellation fee due to the fact that we are charged a 4% credit card fee each time you charge a card, so we pay 4% of the total order upon processing the order and an additional 4% when processing the refund. Then we have a per transaction fee. Plus between our accounting department and a customer service representative’s time, it takes about 2 hours to process a cancellation request, which is converted into labor costs.
Chances are that you were NOT charged twice. Many times, when someone is having problems placing an order, they submit their information more than once. We receive these "problem" orders with a red flag, and do not process them without first calling you to discuss the problem. However, all new orders automatically enter into the payment process. This means that all orders will appear on your credit card as "Pending Transactions."
These charges are "held" on your credit card, but will not be deducted unless we clear it as a confirmed order. Confirmed orders are charged at the close of each business day. At this time, any pending transactions are released from all banks. This amount should re-appear on your card within 24hrs, depending on your banks policies.
However, if you feel that your credit card truly was charged extra, please contact us and we will help you to resolve this issue.
All requests to change an existing order must be placed within 7 days of your delivery date. Many of our products are shipped from Ecuador, South America or from Europe and are often being processed for their journey several days prior to the delivery date. Once the product has been shipped, changes are not possible.
The best way to place your order is via our webpage. This way, we receive your information exactly as you enter it.
However, if you need assistance in placing your order, we do take orders over the phone and via chat or email.
We do not offer samples, as smaller quantities in a box could become damaged during shipping, but there are various ways to place a sample order. We recommend ordering a small package of flowers for a prior event, such as a bridal shower or birthday party. This allows you to practice with the flowers as well. Many of our popular flowers, such as roses, garden roses, hydrangeas and carnations come in packs ranging from 20-50 stems. Plus we offer some centerpieces and gift arrangements in small quantities and even quantities of 1, so you can essentially order a sample centerpiece.
In addition, we recommend you check out our flower stories so you can see what past customers have said about our flowers and see them used in real events.

We recommend that you allow your flowers to hydrate in a cool and dry place away from sunlight, such as a basement or an air conditioned room with the blinds drawn. Yet, if you choose to place the flowers in the refrigerator, please make sure that you remove all fruits and vegetables. The gases that fruits and vegetables emit may damage your flowers.

Most of our flowers are shipped directly from our Ecuadorian farms. It takes 4 days to process and ship flowers to your doorstep. Four days before your order is scheduled to be delivered, your flowers are cut, packaged and sent to the airport in Quito, Ecuador. Three days before the order arrives, it flies to the United States where it is inspected by US customs. Two days before your order is delivered, it travels from US customs to either FedEx or UPS. Here, it will connect the day before it is scheduled to be delivered to you. As soon as your order connects with FedEx or UPS, you will receive an airway bill with a tracking number emailed to the address you provided on your order form, usually 1 day before your flowers are to be delivered.
Not to worry, your flowers are specially prepared for their journey and are kept fresh in refrigerated trucks!
We ship our flowers directly from our Ecuadorian, Colombian or Californian partner flower farms. If you request next-day delivery, you will receive them from one of our domestic locations. This does not mean, for example, that your Ecuadorian Roses are not from Ecuador. Instead, we keep a steady supply of fresh Ecuadorian and Colombian products arriving to a hub location within the United States so that we can process next day deliveries.
However, we cannot gaurantee to have all of our products in stock within the United States. It is always best to place an order at least 1 week before you want your flowers delivered.
We currently ship only within the USA. Unfortunately, the logistics to ship fresh cut flowers to other countries without them arriving damaged are not in place. We have investigated into shipping to other countries, but it has proven too difficult to provide fresh products. Flowers are too perishable and would arrive damaged. Another factor influencing our decision is that each country has its own agricultural import rules, often creating problems and delays. Due to these factors, we lose control of our 100% guarantee that your flower will arrive in beautiful condition. We have chosen not to ship to other countries in order to guarantee the quality of your wedding flowers.
Unfortunately, we do not offer same day deliveries; however, we do offer next day delivery on most of our products. Next day delivery cut off time is noon EST.

Unfortunately, we do not make deliveries on federal US holidays nor the following day. Neither FedEx nor UPS make deliveries on such holidays. Plus, they do not pick up the boxes, and since we ship using Priority Overnight, any deliveries for the day following a holiday are impossible as well. If you are having problems selecting a delivery date, please contact us at 1.877 50 ROSES (507-6737) or email us at [email protected] and we will assist you in choosing the ideal delivery date for your flowers.
