A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Flower Delivery To Canada
Do I have to pay for delivery to Canada?
No, the listed prices include delivery and any taxes.
Does Arena use its own flowers for flower delivery to the Canada?
Sending flowers from the UK across the world to Canada doesn’t make sense, as it's not environmentally friendly.
So we work with partner florists in Canada, which guarantees you get the freshest flowers and the speediest delivery.
Our partner florists in Canada are vetted and must meet exacting standards, so a high quality arrangement is assured.
Do the flowers for Canada look like the ones in the photos?
As far as possible, yes. However, each country, including Canada, has a different style of floristry
and stem availability so the exact shape and style of the finished arrangement may vary slightly.
When will I know if my flowers have been delivered? Does Arena’s usual tracking apply?
We will send the usual order confirmation notifications,
once we know your flowers have been delivered to the recipient in the Canada.
Naturally, whilst we endeavour to be as prompt as possible, due to time differences and distance,
delivery confirmations relating to flowers for Canada
will not be quite as timely as those confirming delivery of our own bouquets in the UK.
As the snow falls here it is really great to have a 'Ray of Sunshine' from away up there in England so far away from down here in New Zealand.
From your extremely user friendly website, confirmations and follow up's it was a very satisfying affirmation that the wonderful world of the web can work so well.
To top it off the chosen gift was beyond expectations if the appreciation of the recipient was anything to go by.
Thank you Arena, give yourslves a big pat on the back!! as we would say down here.........Bloody Awesome!!
