What happens if my flowers are in transit and I need to update the address?
If the flowers are in transit, the courier must continue with the delivery journey so other deliveries are not missed. We cannot guarantee same-day delivery for updated addresses whilst orders are with the courier.
Depending on the time we are notified of a changed address, we will determine if your delivery can be redelivered on the same day.
Please note that this will incur a re-delivery fee of $19.00.
If the flowers are unable to be re-delivered on the same day, they will be available for next day collection, either in store or re-delivery the following business day.
What days do you deliver?
We deliver Monday to Friday, from 9am – 6pm.
We DO NOT deliver on weekends.
How much is delivery?
Our delivery fee for Canberra, Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, and Googong Township $19.00.
What are your sizes?
For all sizing information, please see our Size Guide page.
Can I order more than one arrangement in the same transaction?
This is only available for pickup in-store.
If you are ordering more than one arrangement for different delivery locations, they will need to be submitted as separate orders.
What happens if the recipient is not home?
If the recipient is not home, our courier will leave the arrangement in safe spot near the door out of the weather.
Our couriers reserve the right to take the arrangement back to the studio if their safety is at risk and/or it is deemed unsafe to leave the arrangement.
For secured houses, or a unit complex, the sender will have the option to leave in a safe spot if there is no answer, or they can request to sent back the order back to our studio for the next available collection time, or re-delivery (redelivery will incur a $19.00 fee).
What does it mean when a product date is not available in the calendar.
If you are looking at a product and the delivery date is greyed out and not available this means we have sold out for that day, you can still order for a future date.
Do you have the same flowers and colours on the flower bar each day?
Our flower bar is made up of fresh seasonal blooms. Availability is dependent on seasonal availability and wholesaler availability. This determines colours and flower varieties that are available on the flower bar each day.
Our flowers are based around a colour palette, and our florists use mixed seasonal blooms in that colour tone, and built the bunch to the size amount you have selected.
I am after a custom arrangement, what do I do?
If you are after a specific arrangement, please email hello@thefloralsociety.com.au to order a custom arrangement. Please include photos and inspiration you are after.
Please note: whilst we always strive to fulfill our customer’s requests, it is dependent on suppliers, timeframes and general availability. We recommend contacting us with a minimum of 5 business days before the specific date.
Do you offer flowers for weddings and events?
Yes, we do! For all event enquiries, please click on the Event Form on our website.
How do I care for my flowers?
Once you have received your blooms, it is best to remove the wrap, as well as the plastic and floral foam that is attached to the bottom of the flower stems.
Do not remove the floral clear tie tape, this holds the arrangement together.
Once removed, recut all stems (1-2cm) on a 90-degree angle. Ensure flowers are placed into fresh, clean water and keep all flowers and foliage above water level.
To ensure the longevity of your blooms, recut the stems and change water regularly. Ensure the flowers are kept away from heaters, direct sunlight and fruit.
Can I pre-order for in store pick up?
Yes, if you’re in a rush you can pre-order your arrangement to collect in-store, please allow a minimum of 30 mins notice.
Pick your product on our website, and pick if your presentation. Use our calendar to select your pick up date.
Select your pick up time at checkout.
