• The Good: Orchids feel so classy, modern, and high-end. We find they are typically long-lasting and hardy little blooms that work well in all arrangements.

When designing, you can cut off individual blooms and place them in a water tube, OR, if you wanna keep it easy, cut and glue the bloom into your bouquet or centerpiece using floral glue/adhesive. This can be done the day of your event and the orchid will hold up well! 

• The Bad:  It's not uncommon to have 1-3 orchid blooms have a tear in the petal when it arrives. Not every bloom will be perfect, but the majority should be. Pluck any bad petal off or angle it in a way it's concealed.

• Gently remove from plastic bag.
• Give your orchid a fresh cut, and place in clean water.
• Make sure it's upright, maybe lean in a corner.
• Keep away from extreme heat or cold.

Orchids are considered a . Based on our design ratios, here's our recommended quantity suggestion:

• Bridal Bouquet: 1 stem, you can pluck off lower blooms
• Maids: 1-3 blooms
• Bouts: 1 bloom
• Corsages: 1-2 blooms
• Centerpieces: 1-3 blooms

Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point. Watch our video on substitutions to learn more.

Acceptable Subs: Mini cymbidium, or another orchid that matches well with your palette.
