Start with the purpose and company policy
A corporate flower gift can mark a partner's opening, thank a team or recognise an employee's achievement. First define the purpose and check whether the recipient's organisation accepts gifts. Ask the appropriate colleague about any internal value limit: a more expensive bouquet is not automatically more suitable. For a gift to a whole team, plan a shared card and a place to display the flowers. Keep confidential details of a deal or project out of a message that other people at reception might read.
Choose a format for the space
For a light palette, compare Identity; for a more prominent boxed design, consider For Queen. The right choice depends on the room and the purpose. On a working desk, free space and convenience matter; a spacious reception area may accommodate a larger arrangement. Ask about dimensions and the type of container. If flowers will move between offices or be presented after a meeting, think about transport. A photograph helps establish the style, but does not replace checking whether the chosen size works in the actual location.
Prepare the reception details
The company name is not a substitute for the recipient's name and complete office address. Include the floor, delivery entrance, postcode and the contact of a colleague authorised to accept the flowers. For a building with controlled access, find out how reception handovers work before ordering. If the gift is connected to an event, agree a receiving time before the programme starts. Check working hours separately: the office may be closed on a convenient date for the sender, or the relevant team may be away from the building.
Multiple recipients and repeat orders
For several deliveries, prepare a list with individual dates, addresses and card messages. Avoid combining everything in one long comment where recipients can easily be confused. Decide whether the designs need to match or whether agreed variations within a shared palette are acceptable. Discuss repeat orders and regular office flowers separately: a request for recurring flowers does not itself establish a subscription. Agree the budget for each order and nominate a person who can approve changes. Supply any information needed for business documents through an agreed channel, rather than putting it on the public-facing greeting card. Before confirming a batch, review each recipient's details as an individual delivery.
Before placing your order
Check the product page for the current price, available sizes and the version shown in the photograph. A design name does not, by itself, establish the stem count or finished dimensions. If a particular shade, flower or exact number of roses matters, include that requirement in your request and wait for confirmation. Explain which substitutions you would accept: maintaining the colour palette, the overall volume or a particular flower type. This gives the florist a useful brief if an ingredient is unavailable for your chosen date.
London address and timing
Provide the full delivery address and postcode, the date in London local time, and the recipient's name and contact details. Specify who may accept the flowers and describe any building access arrangements. Confirm availability for the postcode and the requested delivery window before relying on an urgent order. If the recipient cannot accept the gift in person, agree on an alternative handover with the team. A time entered in an order comment is a request, rather than a confirmed appointment. Keep the sender's contact reachable while arrangements are being agreed.
