The short answer to how a flower subscription works with us fits on one order form. Pick an arrangement size, starting at a hundred dollars a delivery. Then weekly or monthly, a start date, and a delivery day anywhere from Monday to Friday. After that the studio designs a new arrangement for each date, a new design every time, and one of our own drivers brings it to the door. There are two versions. The Flex Subscription is for your own home or office and has no end date. The Classic Subscription is a gift with a set term, where you pick the first and last dates and pay once. We deliver both across Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and the Triangle, and you set either one up on our flower subscriptions page.
Every arrangement is made by hand in our Raleigh studio. Jen Turnquist, a regular customer, wrote in her review: "I frequently use and send as gifts." The photo is what stood out to her: "they take it next level and send you a picture of your actual arrangement that is being delivered." Subscription deliveries come with that picture too. You get it from the designer while the arrangement is still in the studio. If nobody answers the door, the driver leaves it somewhere shaded, with a note or a text saying where.
There is one box on the form to think about before you tick it. It reads "Flexible: the studio may deliver a day early or a day late when it helps the flowers." If a day either side is fine with you, tick it, and the studio gets room to move a delivery when that helps. If the day matters (a standing Monday meeting, a Friday dinner), leave it blank and say why in the special instructions.
Weekly or monthly comes down to the room
A weekly flower subscription belongs where people would notice an empty spot. Reception desks are the obvious one, and some of our business clients want weekly flowers for their front desk or lobby for that reason. At home it is usually the kitchen island, the surface everyone passes on the way out. Weekly also lets you watch the season turn, because the studio rotates what it brings with the season.
A monthly flower subscription is more like a date on the calendar. Each one arrives as a small occasion of its own, and whoever receives it has a month to wonder what the next will look like. Monthly sits easier in a budget spread over a year. It also suits a dining table that gets used mostly on weekends.
Size comes from the tier. The form offers Standard, Deluxe, Premium, Signature and Custom, and our FAQ puts the steps plainly: a Deluxe is noticeably fuller and taller than a Standard, and a Premium makes a real statement when it arrives. Look at the surface first. A kitchen counter or the desk at the front of an office takes a Standard or a Deluxe. A long dining table, or a lobby with a high ceiling, can carry a Premium or a Signature. Custom has no price on the form, so if the space is unusual, ask the studio about it.
Office deliveries go smoothest when the address matches how the building works. In the special instructions, give the company name, the floor and the name of whoever will receive it, so a front desk knows exactly whose flowers have come in.
Some offices want more than a drop at the desk. If you would like someone to walk in each week, place the arrangement, adjust it for the space and clean up afterward, that is our corporate floral program, which starts with a conversation and comes with a formal agreement. The subscription is the lighter option. As the corporate page puts it, it "handles weekly or monthly deliveries with no contracts and no setup calls required."
Giving a subscription with a start date and an end date
A flower subscription gift runs on the Classic. The page calls it "a gift with a beginning and an end: pick the dates, pay once, and it simply ends when it ends," and offers two examples: a realtor thanking a client, a company and its best customer. Kseniia Talalaienko, who has ordered for her own clients many times, wrote in her review: "Every bouquet feels special and thoughtfully designed, and my clients are always so happy when they receive them."
Family works too. If you live in Seattle and your mother lives in Cary, a year of monthly arrangements is charged once, the day you order, and she never sees a bill. Each month's picture reaches you in Seattle before her arrangement goes out, so you see it before she does. The Classic asks for her name and phone number, and that is the number our driver texts when the flowers are on the way, so give the mobile she actually picks up. One line on the payment step matters for out-of-town senders. The billing ZIP is the ZIP on your card's billing address, and the bank declines the payment if it does not match. So the Seattle ZIP goes in billing, and the Cary ZIP goes in the delivery address.
The card is the part of the Classic worth taking your time over. Along with no card, or the same message every time, you can write a different message for each delivery. Use the first one to tell her what is going on, so she knows another arrangement is coming next month. After that a line or two will do. On the last card, tell her it is the last, and the gift ends on a sentence of yours.
How much a flower subscription costs, and when the card is charged
The math is short. Take the tier price, multiply by the number of deliveries, and add delivery and North Carolina sales tax. Per delivery, Standard is a hundred dollars, Deluxe two hundred, Premium three hundred fifty and Signature five hundred. A monthly Standard for a year comes to twelve hundred dollars in arrangements before delivery and tax. Weekly at the same size is four or five deliveries a month, depending on how your weekday falls. Delivery is priced by the ZIP of the delivery address. Enter your ZIP for the current delivery charge.
The two versions bill differently. With the Flex, the first delivery is charged the day you sign up, and after that your card is charged about five days before each delivery. The Classic is charged once, the day you order, for the whole term. Payments go through our payment partner Stripe, and the card is charged exactly the total shown.
Pausing or stopping takes one phone call
The Flex has no end date and no commitment, and you can pause or cancel anytime. What matters is notice. To cancel, pause or skip a delivery, let the studio know at least seven days before its date. If you will be away the last week of December, call around the middle of the month to skip the one that would have arrived at an empty house. The number is printed under each Subscribe button on the form.
Pick Flex for yourself or Classic for someone else on the subscriptions page.
