2. DIY Shipping Tips
-
When shipping your flowers, we recommend using a medium-to-large box that fits your bouquet snugly without squishing the blooms. Avoid oversized boxes to keep everything secure during transit.
You’ll need:
A smaller box
Ziploc bags
Rubber bands
A Sharpie Marker
A printed copy of your order information
A wet cloth to keep the flowers fresh
Packing paper for extra protection.
Remember to remove all sentimental items before packing. If you want anything included in your frame, please send it separately, as loose items may get lost or discarded.
Don’t forget to include the packing slip or order confirmation number—without it, we won’t be able to identify your bouquet.
-
Never cover the flower heads in plastic. Your flowers need to be able to breath, just like us! :)
The fresher the better! No later than 48 hours: Keep your flowers in water and out of heat/sunlight as
much as you can.Shipping the bouquet to us is NOT covered by White Poppy and can be very expensive.
Our shop is closed on the weekends and holidays. PLEASE be sure that your flowers will be arriving to
us Monday-Friday, and not on holidays. We would hate to have your blooms sitting out all weekend!Follow the instructions carefully!! PLEASE take the time to read it, because this is what will help keep your flowers as fresh as possible

3. Opt For a Recreation
Sometimes, you don’t have the original flowers—but you still want something to remember them by. That’s where White Poppy Recreation comes in. Whether your bouquet has been lost, damaged, or never preserved in time, we can recreate it using fresh blooms that match the original as closely as possible.
Our team works closely with you to understand the colors, flowers, and feel of your original arrangement. Then, we source similar blooms and preserve them with the same care and artistry we use for all our keepsakes—pressed in a custom frame, encased in resin, or turned into wearable pieces.
It’s a second chance to preserve a memory that means everything. With White Poppy Recreation, we help you hold onto the beauty of a moment—even if the flowers have faded.
