Every order is important to us because we know how important it is to you. Hence, we want to please every customer with beautiful flowers and accommodating service. Knowing that flowers are a perishable product and that floral arrangements and floral gifts are handmade, we make every effort to ensure the quality, accuracy, and beauty of our work.

We constantly seek ways to bring some of these variables under our control for improved floral performance. We always welcome your comments and inquiries.

Substitution Policy:

Fresh Flowers: At Waltham’s Florist we are committed to delivering your important emotional sentiments on time and as fresh and beautiful as possible. The nature, seasonality, and regional availability of flowers it is sometimes necessary to make substitutions of equal or greater value. We will make every effort to maintain the “look and feel” of the arrangement by considering the overall shape, size, style, and color combinations. In single-variety arrangements the variety will take precedence over color. For instance, if an order is for yellow daisies, they will substitute another color of daisies, not another yellow flower. White roses and cream roses may be substituted for each other as well as peach roses and pink roses. Purple and pink orchids may need to be substituted for white orchids and vice versa. If you have a special request, please enter that in the “Delivery or Special Instructions To Florist” section of the checkout. We’ll do our best to honor any changes you would like. We can always send you a photo of how the design looks with the substitution, just let us know ahead of time. If you want design to be exact, and we don’t have the exact recipe, we’ll put the order on hold until we speak with via phone or email. This may result in a delay in delivery day if we don’t hear from you in time during same day delivery request.

Balloons: Some hospitals and businesses do not allow latex balloons with an arrangement.

Plants: For green and blooming plants, similar plants may be substituted of equal or greater value. For one-of-a-kind plants, such as orchids, we will make every attempt to match the plant type, but may substitute with another color. Containers and baskets for plants will be as close as possible.

Gift Baskets: Substitutions within a basket color may be made with items of greater or equal value if necessary to guarantee freshness and timely delivery.

Substitutions for Special Occasions: Due to the importance of delivering orders for special occasions, such as funerals, birthdays, and anniversaries, on specific days, we may make a substitution of equal or greater value to ensure timely delivery, if the flowers you requested are not available, and we are not able to contact you via the phone or email address you provided us.
