We endeavour to match as closely as possible the arrangements we make to the photos shown on our website. If a flower pictured is unavailable for any reason, we will substitute this for a flower of similar style and colour. This is usually due to the differences in natural growing seasons of the different flower species. Simply send us an email requesting a photo of the arranged bouquet/gift basket and we will email it through to you prior to delivery.
