Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C.
General Information, Terms, and Conditions
Information on What We Sell
Designer's Choice: A majority of the products sold by Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C. are indicated as Designer's Choice. By this, it is meant that an arrangement is made not following a set recipe for flowers, design, or appearance. A benefit of Designer's Choice is that it ensures originality and uniqueness in design on an order-to-order basis. Additionally, selecting Designer's Choice can allow for more current and in-season flower selection. Regardless of order type, Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C. maintains the same quality and freshness standards on all arrangements sold. Designer's Choice arrangements can be easily customized and tailored to fit a customer's personal preferences. In certain cases, a customer may request for specific colors, flowers, or for an overall theme to be used when ordering a Designer's Choice arrangement. Much effort will be made to match all specified requests as closely as possible.
Substitutions: In some situations, a substitution of flower, greenery, container, or other decorative accent, or item color(s), may take place in order to create an arrangement required to fulfill an order. This applies to both catalog standard recipe arrangements, and to any special requests made by a customer. Being that flowers are a perishable good, to ensure maximum freshness possible, should an on-hand flower or greenery type ever be deemed unusable when required to create a specific catalog design, a substitution may occur. When one flower or greenery type is used in place of another, an arrangement will always be filled to the appropriate value. In many substitution cases, an arrangement may even be made with product of a higher value, while not impacting the overall cost of the arrangement. For example, if a catalog recipe calls for three carnations and carnations are not available, two roses may be used instead. While the number of stems used has been reduced, the arrangement is still filled to value. To ensure the same overall look and feel of a catalog design is maintained, substitutions may be a necessary course of action.
Natural Variation and Freshness of Product: Flowers and greenery are natural plant items, meaning that some variation in coloration, size, or fullness of a flower or stem of greenery is to be expected. Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C. maintains high standards for quality and freshness. We understand that variation is bound to be encountered as a natural occurrence out of our control. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of an arrangement, in conjunction with our stated returns and refunds policies, they are to contact Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C. to discuss this matter.
Caring for your Arrangement: All our orders are delivered with care instructions printed on the order tag. To ensure maximum vase life of an arrangement, we suggest a number of steps that can be taken. Frequent water changes mean totally emptying a vase or container of water, rinsing it out to remove any accumulated debris, then refilling with fresh water. Water changes should be performed daily to help extend the life of an arrangement. Keeping an arrangement away from extreme temperatures, drafts, out of direct sunlight, and avoiding severe fluctuations in environment parameters, can also help to extend vase life. Using caution when removing faded or spent blooms, or when emptying out a container is advised as to avoid naturally sharp or irregular edges on cut flower stems.
Allergies and Pet Safe Plant Material: When it is known that a recipient faces sensitivity to certain flowers or greenery, Verdant Bloom Floral Art L.L.C. is to be informed at time of purchase to not use any said flowers or greenery types in an arrangement sent to that recipient. Additionally, if it is known that a recipient has pets, and sending flowers is an area of concern, please leave a note requesting only pet-safe flowers and greenery be used when placing an order, and only pet-safe flowers and greenery will be used to fulfill the order.
