RECOMMENDED SHIPPING AND DELIVERY INFO: Availability: Year-Round Since we ship our Carnations straight from our farms, they often arrive in tight bud form and may require 4-7 days to open. They are very durable and will have a very long vase life. We strongly suggest scheduling a delivery date at least 4 days before your event. If your event is on a Saturday, we recommend having these delivered on the Monday before. Because they have such a great vase life, you can even get these in 6-8 days before your event. Please note: It takes 7 days for your flowers to reach your doorstep from our farms. Therefore, you must order your flowers at least 7 days before you want your flowers to arrive, aka your delivery date, to allow for proper processing and shipping time FLOWER SPECS: Color: red Average Vase Life: 10-14 days with proper care.

Once they begin blooming, you may need to spread them out into additional buckets; always leave room to bloom. Fragrance: Think sweet florals with a little spice — carnations carry a warm, clove-like scent that feels both comforting and distinctive. Symbolism: Carnations symbolize love, admiration, and distinction. IMPORTANT INFO: Your flowers may arrive looking a little tired or thirsty after their journey. This is completely normal — think of it like how you’d feel after a long international flight, wedged into the middle seat the whole way: a little rumpled and definitely not at your freshest. Your flowers feel the same way. A fresh trim on the stems, a good drink of water, and some time to hydrate (flower relaxation time) will help them perk up quickly.
