What type of flowers should I choose?Expand
Of course, you can choose anything you like on our website.
But we do recommend choosing seasonal flowers.
These flowers suit the time of year and will always be available.
What colors are appropriate for the occasion?Expand
There is no telling which color suits which occasion.
For most occasions, we advise you to choose what you like and what you feel would be appreciated by the recipient.
But deciding which flowers to order for a funeral might be more difficult. Sometimes there is an appreciated flower wish mentioned on the mourning card. If that is not the case, please know that white is a neutral and safe color.
How do I select a flower arrangement or bouquet?Expand
You can select a flower arrangement or bouquet by selecting bouquets or flower arrangements from the selection bar at the top of the website on the home page.
Then a new page opens where you can choose from many different bouquets or flower arrangements.
When you have found the bouquet or flower arrangement that you like, you press it.
The bouquet or flower arrangement will be opened. On this page, you can enter the text for the supplied card.
Choose the size of the bouquet and whether or not you want to add a vase. Then select 'add to shopping cart'. Your shopping cart will appear on the right side of your screen and you can press order.
This will take you to a new page where you can enter the address and date of delivery and your details. The next step is settling the payment (and awaiting the reaction of the recipient)!
Can my flowers be delivered today?Expand
Bouquets that are ordered before 12:00, can be delivered the same day on Monday till Saturday. Do you have an emergency but is it too late to order for today on our site? Please contact us and we gladly check if we can still deliver your order today!
Check the local time in Amsterdam.
Can I request a delivery at a certain hour of the day?Expand
We cannot guarantee delivery at a certain hour, because the drivers are dealing with the (sometimes chaotic) traffic situation in Amsterdam and therefor must take the most economic route with our orders. If you let us know if you prefer morning or afternoon delivery, we will certainly do our best to meet your request.
Delivery of funeral flowers has the highest priority, we always make sure the flowers arrive in time for the funeral.
We contact the funeral home to request what is the best time of delivery when you are not sure about that.
Can I choose a specific delivery date?Expand
Yes, you can choose a specific delivery date for your order. On the checkout page, you can select the delivery date in the calendar. With this option, you can easily place multiple orders for events in the coming weeks!
Can I place an order for delivery outside the Netherlands?Expand
Bloemenweelde is a Fleurop Interflora florist and we can handle your flower order for outside the Netherlands.
Flower orders for outside the Netherlands CANNOT be ordered through our website, because the prices abroad are very different in each country. But if you contact us we gladly check the possibilities for you!
Have my flowers been delivered?Expand
We will update the status of your order as soon as possible when the bouquet has been delivered. Ordered flowers are always brought on the requested day to the given address/recipient. If you have indicated a preference for morning or afternoon, we try to meet up with this preference!
What happens if the recipient is not home?Expand
If the recipient is not home, we’ll try to handout the bouquet to the neighbors. The recipient will get a note stating where the flowers can be collected.
In case there are no neighbours we can leave the flowers with, the recipient will receive a note asking to contact us for a second delivery attempt.
If he is not home at the second attempt, the bouquet can be collected at our shop.
How come the bouquet looks a bit different than the bouquet pictured on your site?Expand
We always try to make the bouquets resemble the bouquet on the picture of our website. There can be reasons why the bouquet might look different than the image on the site:
1) We are depending on the available flowers. Although we have a larger variety of fresh flowers than most florists, it can happen that some flowers are not available anymore. Of course we always try to deliver a bouquet in the style you choose, matching your choice the best.
2) We only deliver flowers that are so fresh that we can guarantee that they stay good for 7 days. The flowers on the pictures are already blooming. The flowers we deliver are actually “fresher” than the ones on the picture!
3) The pictures on the site are made in the studio by a professional photographer, from the right angle and with the right lightning.
4) The used vase. Many people use a perfect fitting vase which complements the bouquet. If the bouquet is placed in a vase that is not fitting so well, it will not look as good as it could. Of course we aim to deliver beautiful and generous bouquets, as similar to your choice as possible, and give you the highest value for your money!
Do you guarantee fresh flowers?Expand
Bloemenweelde absolutely guarantees that our bouquets are made with fresh flowers. Therefor we guarantee that your bouquet will last at least for 7 days.
Of course the flowers must be treated well by the recipient.
Please see our the page: how to care for my flowers with tips to keep your bouquet in the best shape!
How can I make my flowers last longer?Expand
Cut the stems of the flowers asap after purchase at a 45 degree angle.
Use a sharp and clean knife!
Add the flowers food to the water in a very clean vase and put the flowers in.
See more detailed information on our how to care for my flowers page.
Can I change my order?Expand
Did you use a wrong delivery address? Would you like to add a vase? That is no problem, you can change your order up to one day before delivery by sending an e-mail with your ordernumber and changes to info@bloemenweelde-amsterdam.nl
Sometimes it is still possible to adjust an order for the same day too. If you have an important change it is best to contact us by telephone on 020-616 8704, so we check immediately if the change can still be made for you. Once the order has left for delivery, we cannot change it anymore.
Can I cancel my order?Expand
Cancellations can be made only for orders with a delivery address within the Netherlands. A cancellation must be made by e-mail, at least 24 hours before the delivery date.
The cancellation fee is 10% of the order amount, with a minimum of € 8,50.
*Please note that fresh cut flowers are fast-paced goods and therefore there is no right of withdrawal.
Do I have the right of withdrawal?Expand
