What a weekly flower subscription actually does for a workplace

We have been running corporate flower subscriptions since 2016, starting with a single hotel lobby account and gradually adding a handful of offices and restaurants. Here is an honest account of what the service involves and what it does and does not do for the spaces we work with.

What the subscription covers

Each week we deliver a fresh arrangement to the agreed location on a fixed day. We bring the flowers, arrange them in the vase, and change the water. If the previous week's arrangement is still in reasonable condition, we will say so and suggest leaving it another few days rather than replacing it unnecessarily.

The arrangement is always seasonal. We do not maintain a fixed look week to week, because the flowers available in November are different from those available in April, and we think the arrangement should reflect that. Clients who want a consistent colour palette can tell us, and we will work within it.

What it does not do

A weekly flower arrangement will not transform a poorly lit or cluttered reception area. Flowers work best when the space around them is considered. We sometimes suggest to new clients that they clear the surface around the vase before the first delivery, because a single arrangement surrounded by stacked papers and cables does not have the effect anyone is hoping for.

We also do not guarantee a specific variety week to week. If a client has a preference, we note it and try to accommodate it, but the wholesale market does not always cooperate.

The practical details

Subscriptions run on a weekly or fortnightly basis. We invoice monthly. The vase is ours; we bring it on the first delivery and collect it if the subscription ends. Minimum commitment is three months, which gives us enough time to understand the space and the client's preferences properly.

If you are considering a subscription for an office or restaurant in Fukuoka, the enquiry form on this site is the right starting point. We will ask a few questions about the space before suggesting anything.
