Buy. Build. Brag.

Q: When do I get my flowers? Does overnight shipping mean they will arrive TOMORROW? I'm hyperventilating.

A: We feel you, but there's no way we're shipping out your flowers tomorrow!

We are FREAKS about capturing your event and delivery date at checkout.

Your delivery date is 3 days BEFORE your event. (Example: A Wednesday delivery date for a Saturday wedding.) We do this to allow ample time for your flowers to open and give you 2 whole days to knock out your designs.

Q: What should I expect with shipping? Is it weird that I'm kind of afraid to open my flower box?

A: Totally not weird. Think of it as a moment of solidarity with all the Moxie couples who have gone before.

You will receive your tracking number the evening before OR the morning of delivery.

Your flowers will be wrapped and packed tightly in a box. (Packed tight to avoide shifting and bruising.) Some may have ice packs, others may not – it's up to the wholesaler. You will receive between 1-3 boxes depending on your order size.

It's totally normal to not be wowed when you unpack. Everything is going to look whack until you prep like Mia Thermopolis before she got waxed.

Q: Wll the flowers actually last 3 days? And what if I only need one day to put them together?

A: These are not the cries for help you see wilting in the grocery store cooler. These are fresh, florist-grade, unprocessed blooms.

They will arrving looking like tight, tantrummy baby fists. Give them a day to open and use the other 2 days to rock your designs. They'll continue to open as you arrange.

For the record, our founder, Amy McCord, has been a floral designer for over 15 years. She ALWAYS ships in her flowers 3 days in advance because she likes the flowers to blow out and hit their max potential (unlike the fellas she dated in her twenties).

Following our directions and putting time, love, and care into your flower prep will result in incredible arrangements on your wedding day!

Q: What's included in my box(es) of flowers?

A: Tightly wrapped flowers and ALL the packing paper. Since you're being your own florist, you are receiving fresh, unprocessed flowers. There will be some leaves, thorns, a few ugly duckling petals, and some broken ones. You will feel a llittle baboozled.

BUT WAIT. These flowers will stun you in a good way. The magic happens once you unwrap everything, hydrate the stems, and allow plenty of elbow room to blow out the blooms. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PROCESS.

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Make sure you dumpster dive through all of your paper packing, as delicate flowers are often wrapped and hiding.

TIP: We offer printable prep instructions and flower recipes on our site. Once you process and prep your flowers, we suggest you start sectioning out your floral recipes. It makes the design process quick and easy for your helpers!

Q: What do I when I get my flowers?

A: OBSESSIVELY FOLLOW OUR DIRECTIONS LIKE THAT ANNOYING KID IN SCIENCE CLASS WHO WAS FAR TOO RESPECTFUL WITH THE BUNSEN BURNER. You've spent a lot of money on these blooms, so you must treat them right. They are not indestructible, cockroach-level filler flowers you'll find at the grocery store. Professional blooms require special care.

Q: How many buckets will I need for this? And what supplies should I get?

A: Since we are obnoxiously hand-holdy, we provide all of those details in each of our packages. If you're forgoing our packages and building your own cart, we have some help.

Worksheet: Supply guidance

All supplies are sold and shipping separately from our supply store, Flower Moxie Supply.

For hydration buckets, we recommend short, plastic bathroom trash cans that you can find in the unsexy corners of the Dollar Store or Walmart. Resist the urge to buy large Home Depot buckets.

Q: Anything else I need to know before I commit to DIY flowers?

A: Yes. You're going to have the best time ever! DIY-ing your blooms is not only a great way to save money, it's a crazy-fun activity to do with your besties. It's a great place to put all that nervy energy leading up to your big day!

Every's logistics and threshholds are different, so ready on before hitting the order button:

• DESTINATION, WEEKDAY, OR HOLIDAY WEDDINGS: The above mentioned scenarios can make DIY-ing your blooms tricky. Email with your situation so we can help determine if DIY is a fit for you!
• IF YOU'RE TOO LAID BACK: You have to read up on the education for baller results. You have do do your part. If that ain't you, you may want to go another route.
• IF YOU'RE TOO HIGH STRUNG: On the flip side, if you are a hardcore perfectionist, this may bust your balls. Fresh blooms require a degree of flexibility – this is art, not Excel.
• FYI: Your flowers will be legit but you will have some uglies in the bunch. It's just Momma Nature doing her thang. Expect a normal loss of 5%. Don't fall apart if you break a rose. Just decapitate that bish and put the petals in a flower girls' basket! Prolem solved.
