05 / BUY WITH A CLEAR SPEC

Before you order
atlantic grape hyacinth.

Ask about the cut stage and the expected event-day appearance. A photo of a fully open flower is not a specification for what arrives in the box.

ASK YOUR SUPPLIERCan you confirm Muscari atlanticum and provide the usable cut length, flower-cluster size, opening stage, and stem count rather than quoting bulbs or potted plants?

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.
