What happens, and when

The whole process, laid out. The one thing that surprises people is the early bulk delivery. That is deliberate, and it is why your flowers peak on your event date rather than before it.

Buckets of flowers loaded for refrigerated delivery
  1. 1

    Day 0

    You send a request

    Two minutes on the quote form, or a phone call. Event date, delivery city, guest count, roughly what you want.

  2. 2

    Within 1 business day

    You get an itemised quote

    Stem counts by flower and colour, delivery window, delivery fee and total. Not a range, not a brochure. Change anything before you commit.

  3. 3

    On approval

    Deposit confirms your date

    A deposit holds your delivery slot. Balance is due before delivery. We never collect card details through the website.

  4. 4

    2–3 weeks out

    We place the farm order

    Your flowers get ordered against your specific date. This is the point after which substitutions become variety-level rather than open.

  5. 5

    48 hours ahead

    Delivery window confirmed

    We narrow your AM or PM slot to a two-hour window and confirm the address and the on-site contact.

  6. 6

    2–3 days before

    Bulk stems arrive

    Refrigerated transport, sorted by flower type, conditioning notes in the box. Condition that evening. Flowers need 24 to 48 hours to open.

  7. 7

    Event morning

    Arrangements arrive

    Ready-made pieces delivered already conditioned and ready to place. Nothing for you to build.

  8. 8

    Within 24 hours

    Anything wrong, we fix it

    Photograph it and contact us. We replace, credit or refund the affected stems. Your call.

Lead times, substitutions and claims

Lead times

10 days minimum for bulk stems. 14 days for ready-made arrangements, because they are built to order in the two days before delivery.

Those are minimums, not recommendations. For a summer or autumn Saturday on the Front Range, six to eight months out is realistic. Our delivery capacity on peak dates fills long before the flowers do.

Sympathy work is exempt. We hold capacity for it,call us.

Substitutions

We substitute variety, never colour. If your order calls for blush roses and a specific variety falls short at the farm, you get a different blush rose of equal or better grade. You do not get pink, and you do not get a phone call the day before asking you to choose.

Anything larger than a variety-level swap, we contact you first.

Read the full policy

Freshness claims

Photograph the problem and contact us within 24 hours of delivery. We replace the affected stems, credit them, or refund them. Your choice.

The 24-hour window exists because after that it becomes impossible to tell a transit problem from a conditioning problem, and we would rather publish a clear policy than have an argument.

Conditioning is your half of the job

For bulk orders, what happens in the hour after the box opens decides whether the flowers peak on your event day or three days before it. Strip the foliage, cut at an angle, get them into clean water with flower food, and leave them alone overnight.

We include conditioning notes for each flower type in the box, and every product page publishes its own steps. The full walkthrough is worth ten minutes of reading before your delivery arrives, not during.

Common questions

What areas do you deliver to?
The Colorado Front Range and the mountain towns. Denver, Boulder, Longmont and Castle Rock are our closest zone; Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley are a second; Vail, Summit County, Estes Park and canyon venues are quoted per event because the drive is long and weather-dependent. If your town is not on that list it is probably still in range, so ask.
Do you deliver, or do I collect?
We deliver. Every order travels refrigerated from our cooler to the address you give us, on a date you choose. There is no shop to collect from, and cold chain is the single biggest factor in how long cut flowers last.
Do you take small events?
Yes. Elopements, intimate weddings and small memorial services are normal orders here, not exceptions we make. Most quality Colorado studios set minimums that rule those out. Ours is set low enough that they do not.
Do you sell loose stems as well as finished arrangements?
Yes, and a single order can be split between the two. Bulk stems for the reception tables, designed florals for the bridal party, one delivery and one invoice. A national bulk site cannot make you a bouquet, and a traditional florist will not sell you loose stems.
What does it cost?
Every quote is custom and comes back within one business day. We work well below traditional full-service florist pricing, without the minimums most studios require, because we are studio-based with no storefront to carry. Send us your date, your city and roughly what you need, and you get an itemised figure rather than a range.
Why are you less than a full-service florist?
We have no storefront. A traditional florist's price carries retail rent, walk-in staffing, display stock and the waste that comes with it. We work by order and appointment from a studio, using the same designers and the same farm-direct product. It is a lower overhead, not a lower standard.
How far in advance should I book?
Bulk stems need 10 days and designed work needs 14. Those are minimums rather than recommendations. For a summer or autumn Saturday on the Front Range we would rather have your order six to eight months out, because our delivery capacity on peak dates fills long before the flowers run short. Sympathy orders are exempt.
My service is in a few days. Can you help?
Probably, and you should call rather than use the form. We hold capacity for sympathy work so our published lead times do not have to apply to it. Call (303) 555-0142 and we will tell you honestly what we can do, including when the answer is no.
When will my flowers arrive?
Designed arrangements arrive on the day of your event, finished and ready to place. Bulk stems arrive two to three days beforehand, which is not us being early. Flowers ship closed and need a day or two in water to open. You pick a date and an AM or PM window, and we confirm a narrower window 48 hours ahead.
How is this different from ordering bulk flowers online?
We hand you the box cold, on a date you chose, and we can fix a problem the same day. A national bulk site puts stems in a carton and hands it to a carrier: it arrives when it arrives, sometimes warm, sometimes crushed, and a refund does not fix your Saturday. That difference is the whole reason to buy bulk locally.
What happens if a flower I ordered is not available?
We substitute variety, never colour. If your order calls for blush roses and a named variety falls short at the farm, you get a different blush rose of equal or better grade. You will not get pink, and you will not get a phone call the day before asking you to choose between two roses you have never heard of. Anything larger than a variety swap, we contact you first.
What if something arrives damaged?
Photograph it and contact us within 24 hours of delivery. We replace, credit or refund the affected stems, your choice. Because we are local, replacement is usually a real option rather than a refund you cannot use. The 24-hour window exists because after that it becomes impossible to tell a transit problem from a conditioning problem.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We work by order and appointment from a studio, and we do not sell walk-in bouquets, potted plants or giftware. Having no storefront is a large part of why the work costs what it does.
Do you deliver to mountain venues?
Yes, by arrangement rather than as a standing route. Vail, Summit County, Estes Park and canyon addresses need a confirmed window and an on-site contact, because the drive is long and weather-dependent. We will not leave a refrigerated order unattended at a mountain venue.
Are your flowers grown in Colorado?
Some are, seasonally. Colorado's climate does not support year-round commercial cut-flower production at event volume, so a July order carries more Colorado-grown product than a February one. What is true year-round is farm-direct sourcing rather than a wholesaler-to-retailer chain, which is where the freshness comes from. Ask about your month and we will give you the real answer.
Who are Rocky Mountain Flowers?
A studio-based Colorado florist that delivers wedding, sympathy and event flowers across the Front Range and the mountain towns. We do designed floral work and we sell farm-direct stems by the bunch, and a single order can be split between the two. There is no shop, no walk-in counter, and no minimum that rules out a small wedding.
Are the photographs on this site your own work?
Not yet, and we label them rather than bury it in the small print. We are early, and the gallery currently runs on stock photography standing in for layout. Every image is replaced with our own Colorado event photography as we shoot it. We would rather be slow about that than present someone else's work as ours.
Can I order the exact arrangement I see in a photo?
Yes, within what the season allows. Send us the images you like and we build the quote around them: same palette, same shape, sized to your tables. Where a specific flower is out of season we substitute variety rather than colour and tell you before you approve anything.
Do you have reviews?
Not published ones yet. We will put a review on this site when a real client has written one and given us permission to use it, with their name on it. Until then the trust bar and the schema on this site both report zero rather than a number we invented.
How and when do I pay?
We quote first and invoice after you approve it. A deposit confirms your date and the balance is due before delivery. We never collect card details through this website: the form has no payment field and never will.
