Delivery of Flowers

Isn’t it lovely when a flower box is delivered to your door? You open it up to discover a personalised message and a selection of colourful, scented or unusual blooms. There’s no need to wait for a special occasion to send flowers, so let someone know you are thinking of them at any time of year! Now, if you were to brighten someone’s day this month, who would you send flowers to?

September Blooms for Bouquets

The flowers in your garden may be starting to fade, but there are still plenty of blooms that come into their own in September. These days it’s easy to order online and send a bouquet in the post and we manufacture durable flower boxes for this purpose. So, we’ve sought advice on which varieties to include in a seasonal bunch.

Flower of the Month

The flower of the month for September is the Aster. This species is named after the Greek word for star, which describes the explosive arrangement of petals. What’s more, the long stems and clusters of flowers make it a good choice for cutting. Typically lilac, but with white and pink varieties, it is said to symbolise love, elegance and faith. As such, it makes a meaningful addition to a September wedding bouquet.

Tall Blooms in Flower Boxes

For a grand display, it is great to include some long-stemmed flowers and structural foliage. Just ensure that you have a sufficiently long flower box!

At this time of year, a great choice would be sunflowers. They instantly add colour, height and drama to a vase. If you prefer a blue palette, beautiful spears of delphiniums can fit the bill. Alternatively, the elegance and simplicity of white calla lilies are ideal for many arrangements.

Flower Boxes Full of Colour

It can be lovely to receive a bouquet of more flowers that remind you of holidays in exotic locations. Zinnias bloom in September and as their name implies, they are a fantastic way to bring instant colour, energy and joy to an interior.

Another bright and bold bloom at this time of year is the Dahlia. Fortunately, they come in a wide variety of shapes and colours, so they can work with most floral décor schemes. Alternatively, the orangy yellow petals of Rudbeckia, contrasting with the dark centres bring a fiery feel to your flower box.

The Case for Smaller Blooms

Big isn’t always beautiful and for some settings, a small and simple arrangement fits the bill. The markings on Alstroemerias add an exotic look to a display. Meanwhile, the simple beauty of freesias is matched by their stunning scent.

Cardboard Flower Boxes for Shipping

As a florist, with a demand for online orders, you need protective flower boxes to keep your blooms safe during shipping. Fortunately, corrugated cardboard is naturally insulating and cushioning. With the right inserts, these are an effective option for the delivery of flowers.

As a specialist cardboard packaging manufacturer, Aylesbury Box Company can produce bespoke boxes to fit your ideal dimensions. What’s more, we can offer 100% recyclable, moisture-resistant solutions.

In addition, we can print handling instructions to help ensure that the flowers are appropriately cared for in transit. Alternatively, we can print your illustrative graphics or branding onto the boxes to help build excitement and a positive brand association. The image of Morning Flowers offers an example of bespoke printed cardboard packaging.
