Orchid sprays differ in usable bloom count and spacing. Confirm the natural or treated color and follow the supplier’s storage guidance for the exact orchid type.

Put these details on the order

  • Wedding date and delivery window
  • Exact variety, commercial form, and color
  • Usable stem length and head or branch grade
  • Stems per bunch, price per bunch, and minimum order
  • Conditioning, storage, and expected opening stage
  • A client-approved substitution and a revised recipe

For fresh cut material, use clean containers and follow the supplier’s conditioning instructions. Keep foliage out of the vase water and test the finished sample before committing to a long display. Dried and preserved products need their own handling plan.
