Frequently Asked Questions


Addressing your curious questions and all things related to flowers, weddings, and logistics here.

Flowers

  • Why are flowers so expensive?
    • Living in tropical sunny Singapore, the fresh flowers that we get are mostly imported from all around the world from nearby regions like Malaysia, Taiwan, to places further away like China, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Holland etc. From the farm growers, cold chain logistics, and freight forwarding by air, this translates to substantial costs incurred.
    • Floristry is also labour intensive- from conditioning, to set ups and logistics etc.
    • Each design is unique and one-of-a-kind, carefully crafted by hand and not mass produced by any machines.
    • Expected price surge during hot dates eg Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, CNY, christmas
  • Which fresh flowers are more long lasting?
    • Lilies, carnations, orchids, alstroemerias, chrysanthemum, eustomas, limonium 
    • Seasonal flowers eg peonies, rananculus tend to have a very short lifespan.
  • How long do fresh flowers last?
    • 3-5 days depending on how fast they bloom/wilt and the environment. Different flowers bloom & wilt at different rates.

    • Shelf life (3-5 days vs 6 mths-1 year respectively)
