A few thoughtful answers
Good to know.
Ordering, gifting and flowers in Houston.
What areas of Houston do you deliver to?
We deliver inside Loop 610 and between Loop 610 and Beltway 8. Outside Beltway 8, request an individual delivery quote. ZIP checks are preliminary; the exact address determines the zone.
How much is delivery?
Inside Loop 610: $15. Between Loop 610 and Beltway 8: $25. Outside Beltway 8: quoted individually. The final fee depends on the exact address.
How far in advance should I order?
Please allow 3 days. Every requested date is confirmed by the studio before payment.
Can I request next-day delivery?
Yes, when rush service is enabled. Select rush next-day service for +$50 and send your request by noon, Houston time. Flower and delivery availability must be confirmed. Selecting a date alone never adds the rush fee.
Can I choose the exact flowers?
Share your color preferences and any flowers to avoid. Almanac selects the seasonal flowers that best express the chosen mood and scale.
What does designer’s choice mean?
Each Almanac arrangement is designed from the season’s most compelling flowers. Your arrangement will reflect the mood and scale selected rather than replicate a fixed recipe. This gives the designer room to choose beautiful materials and compose an arrangement with its own character.
Can I send an inspiration photo?
Yes. Add a photo to communicate mood, palette or feeling for the designer to interpret. Photo links expire after 30 days and are not listed in the site or sitemap. See Photo privacy for how links are handled.
How large is each arrangement?
Petite ($75): approximately 10–12 inches wide, suited to a nightstand, desk or small side table. Signature ($115): approximately 14–16 inches wide, suited to a dining table, coffee table, kitchen island or meaningful gift. Grand ($175): approximately 20–24 inches wide, suited to an entry table, large island or prominent room.
Can I include a gift message?
Yes. Choose “This is a gift” and add your note. Purchaser and recipient details stay separate. You decide whether we may contact the recipient before delivery.
What if I do not have the recipient’s address yet?
Select “I don’t have the recipient’s address yet.” Include your own contact details and email the address to almanacflorals@gmail.com by noon on the day before delivery. If the address or delivery quote is still unresolved, the studio must agree a new date before delivery is scheduled.
What happens if the recipient is unavailable?
We contact the purchaser, or the recipient if permitted. We leave flowers only where an agreed safe location is suitable. A second delivery attempt is quoted and approved before a second attempt; no unapproved charge is added.
Can I cancel or change an order?
Email requests at least 72 hours before delivery. Refunds depend on work and materials already committed. Rush and later requests are reviewed individually. See the cancellation policy for details.
Do you provide flowers for businesses?
Yes. Almanac designs for offices, boutiques, salons, restaurants and hospitality spaces, plus brand activations and seasonal installations. Frequency and dates are arranged through a consultation and subject to availability.
Do you provide wedding or event flowers?
Yes. Contact the studio about elopements, gatherings and custom work. A consultation and approved quote establish the scope and date.
How should the flowers be cared for?
Keep flowers in a cool place away from direct sun, heat and ripening fruit. Check water daily and replenish with clean water. Remove spent flowers; for wrapped bouquets, trim stems with clean tools before placing them in a clean vase.
