We absolutely recommend using your own florist. Most online orders pictured with flowers require the customer to provide the flowers. We require flowers to be delivered the day before in a bunch with no arranging. We will then put them in water and refrigerate them until needed. We will do the arranging before the cake is delivered or picked up. We can purchase fresh flowers upon request, prices vary according to quantity and type.
