Do the Daily Flower Menu items change often?
While we offer flower bouquets wrapped in paper and flower arrangements year-round, you'll notice changes in our designs with the change of every season. Our bouquets and arrangements are not stagnant but are constantly changing with the season and change with the varieties that come available. We also create special holiday flower menus for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Easter, Professional Administrators Week, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
If you want to keep up to date with the flower magic that is happening in our studio I recommend following along on our journey through our Instagram account. Come fall in love with the power of one small flower and to see what's fresh in the studio.

Can I make special requests?
Small Flower’s arrangements are all one of a kind! Each one is subject to flower availability and seasonality. While we can take requests for certain colour palettes we reserve the right to substitute as needed. That means we cannot guarantee any specific flowers or colours. To add certain requests for flower choices, allergies, or colour preferences please add your note in our "notes to florist" section when placing your order.

How far in advance should I place my flower order for my upcoming birthday, baby shower, wedding shower, etc.?
The earlier, the better! If you know you have a special event coming up, please place your order at least 3 weeks in advance. This gives us time to source any extra unique blooms you've requested and coordinate delivery times with our drivers, so your blooms arrive picture-perfect.

Other FAQs
Where do you get your flowers?
During Calgary’s short but ever so sweet summer months, we buy as much of our product as possible from our local Alberta and BC growers; we have also built a strong relationship with a handful of local wholesalers and purchase directly from Holland throughout the year.
How long will my flowers last? What can I do to help them last longer?
The best way to care for your flowers is to keep them in fresh, cool water away from direct sunlight or any heat source. We've done a few experiments to see what keeps flowers fresh, and time after time, replacing vase water daily is the trick that keeps our flowers looking their very best longer. Certain varieties of flowers last longer than others, but with proper care, our cut flowers and arrangements can last 3-7 days, sometimes even longer!
Can I order a Doz roses? Or an Arrangement of Peony?
Small Flower {floral studio} creates bouquets and arrangements in our signature "garden style," using an elegant variety of the best seasonal flowers available. Using a wide range of flowers allows our designer's freedom to create bespoke arrangements that are fresh as can be. For those liking single mono-flower designs, we do offer a Doz Roses. Occasionally we offer unique seasonal products that celebrate our favourite flowers — like romantic roses for Valentine's Day or big bunches of Peony or Lilac in the spring! Do you want to build a bouquet filled with your favourite flowers? There is a section with all of our designs where you are invited to leave special "notes to the designer" and we will do what we can to fill your order to your request when possible but can not always guarantee specific varieties or colours. We would love for you to come to visit so you can pick your own flowers as well; we ask you to call in advance to make sure we are in the studio when you plan to visit. Call 403.245.5543 to see what's in the cooler and build your dream bouquet!
How many stems are in each bouquet or arrangement?
It varies depending on the season and the style of bouquet or arrangement! We arrange the freshest flowers in our signature "garden style" and charge market price per stem, so the stem count changes based on what varieties are available each week. We strive to keep our style consistent throughout the year, using a wide variety of mixed flowers and foliage. However, bear in mind that flower varieties will fluctuate in cost depending on the season.
