'Summer Blush' Hand-Tied Bouquet

Your flowers have been freshly gathered and arranged with care. Follow these simple steps to keep them looking beautiful for as long as possible:

1. Choose a clean vase
   Wash your vase thoroughly before filling it with fresh, cool water.
2. Trim the stems
   Using clean, sharp scissors, cut approximately 1–2cm from each stem at an angle.
3. Remove lower leaves
   Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline, as these can encourage bacteria.
4. Refresh regularly
   Change the water and rinse the vase every two days. Give the stems another little trim each time.
5. Keep them cool
   Display your flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators, draughts and ripening fruit.
6. Remove fading flowers
   Take out individual blooms as they fade so the remaining flowers can continue to flourish.

As our flowers are naturally and seasonally grown, each variety has its own vase life. Some delicate blooms may fade before others, simply remove these and enjoy watching the rest of your arrangement evolve.

Collection from Shepherd & Bloom in Kingston, near Lewes, is also available by prior arrangement. Full collection details will be provided once your order is confirmed.

You may request a preferred colour palette when ordering, but individual flower varieties cannot be guaranteed. Each arrangement will be created using the best seasonal stems growing and available at that time.

If you need flowers for a particular date or occasion, we recommend ordering as early as possible. For bespoke requests, please contact us before placing your order.

Collections are available from our flower farm in Kingston, near Lewes, at an agreed time.

We create flower arrangements for weddings, celebrations and intimate events across Sussex.

From bridal bouquets and buttonholes to table flowers and larger floral installations, every design is created with the season and your individual celebration in mind. We use our own locally grown flowers wherever possible, complemented by flowers sourced from other trusted Sussex growers when required.

Please visit our Weddings & Events page or complete our enquiry form to tell us about your date, venue and floral ideas.

Many supermarket flowers travel thousands of miles before reaching your vase. They may be produced using intensive heating, refrigeration and chemical treatments before passing through a long international supply chain.

At Shepherd & Bloom, our flowers are grown naturally in Kingston, near Lewes, without synthetic pesticides or chemical treatments. They are gathered in season, close to the point of delivery, with no air freight and minimal packaging.

Choosing locally grown flowers means fewer flower miles, greater transparency and support for a small local business. It also allows you to enjoy scented, characterful varieties selected for their natural beauty, not simply their ability to withstand long-distance transportation.

Will my flowers look exactly like the photograph?
Our flowers change with the seasons, so every arrangement is unique. Your order will follow the selected style and colour palette, but individual varieties may differ.

Can I request particular flowers?
You are welcome to share your preferences, and we will do our best to accommodate them. However, particular varieties cannot be guaranteed.

Can I include a gift message?
Yes. Add your message when ordering, and we will include it on a handwritten card. Otherwise you can choose one of our in-house designed greetings cards from our homeware and gifts section. These will be delivered blank inside unless you choose an option to add a hand-written message. We will happy hand-write this message for you.

Do you offer same-day delivery?
For our Jam Jar posies, we will be out every Friday for deliveries. Same-day delivery cannot be guaranteed. Please contact us before ordering to check availability.

Are your flowers safe for pets?
Some flowers and foliage can be harmful if eaten. Please keep arrangements away from pets and contact us before ordering if you have any particular concerns.

What if I have a flower or pollen allergy?
Please tell us about any known allergies before ordering. As our arrangements contain natural flowers, foliage and pollen, we cannot guarantee that they will be completely allergen-free.

What should I do if there is a problem with my order?
Please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of receiving your flowers, and include a clear photograph. We will always do our best to put things right.
