How to Carefully pack your flowers for Shipping to Said & Sealed

At Said & Sealed, every flower preservation commission is handled with the highest level of care. To ensure your wedding bouquet or memorial florals arrive at our Calgary studio in peak condition, please follow this professional shipping protocol.

1. Advanced Flower Preparation

• Trim & Streamline: For large blooms, trim the stems to approximately 1–2 inches to reduce bulk and allow for better airflow.

• Foliage Care: Remove any wilted or excess foliage that may trap moisture and cause browning during transit.

• Petal Protection: Wrap delicate blooms individually in soft, acid-free tissue paper.

• Proper preparation ensures your florals are stabilized and ready for our professional drying process.

2. Required Documentation

To ensure your order is cataloged correctly upon arrival, please include a note inside the package with:

• Order Reference Number

• Full Name

• Contact Email

• This prevents administrative delays and ensures your project enters production immediately.

3. Secure Packaging Protocol

• Structural Integrity: Utilize a sturdy, double-walled cardboard box to prevent crushing.

• Cushioning: Use protective air-padding, soft packing paper, or silk tissue around each flower.

• Spatial Alignment: Do not compress the florals. Provide enough space for the blooms to maintain their natural shape.

• Secondary Layering: Add a final layer of soft padding around the entire arrangement to absorb vibration during transit.

4. Courier & Logistics

To guarantee the security of your sentimental items, utilize a tracked and insured courier service.
