If there ever were a year to celebrate Mom, this is the one. The world’s hardest job has become exponentially harder in the covid era - with so many wearing the added hats of home schooler, cleaning lady, and live-in chef. Whew. I think it’s safe to say that really beautiful flowers are in order.We’re gearing up for a beautiful holiday and wanted to answer some of the questions you’ve been asking.  

Are you still able to deliver flowers with all the craziness in the world?

Yes! It’s been one heck of a month adjusting to the new normal. So many of our wholesalers and farms have been impacted by this pandemic, but we have worked tirelessly to set up relationships with importers from all over the globe. Happily, we can report that we still have the gorgeous flowers you’re used to. From peonies, to ranunculus, to tulips - we’ve got all the good stuff that mom will love!  

How far in advance should I order?

Because our supply chain is a little upside down, we recommend getting orders in sooner rather than later. We’re well stocked, but once we sell out, we won’t be able to source more flowers for the holiday. Early bird catches the worm!  

How much should I plan to spend on flowers?

Fortunately, we haven’t seen a significant increase in flower costs since coronavirus. (Wow, it’s nice to share good news in these times!) In general, our petite arrangements are $75, our medium sized arrangements are $125, our large arrangements are $175, and our luxe arrangements are $300+. Any questions? Give us a ring and we can talk to you about what more specific designs or styles will cost.  

When will flowers be delivered?

We’ll have drivers on the road Friday, Saturday, and Sunday doing socially distanced deliveries all over the D.C. area. To protect you and our team, we’ll drop flowers on your doorstep and will phone to let you know they’re there. If you’d prefer, you can always do curbside pick-up at our studio. Call us when you arrive, and we’ll run your arrangement out to your car.  

How do I order?

For easy ordering, visit our website: www.helenolivia.com and click ‘order flowers.’ You’ll see options for arrangements, plants (consider a beautiful orchid or succulent garden for a Mom with a green thumb!), and floral subscriptions. If you prefer to select something more custom, give us a ring in the studio 703-548-2848 and we’d be happy to talk through options with you.
