What is your delivery policy?

Christina C Events takes pride in all our designs, selecting the highest quality blooms, hand spraying foliage’s and crafting arrangements and gifts into artistic, bespoke pieces for each client. It is for this reason that we cannot offer same day delivery.

For guaranteed next day delivery; (Monday – Saturday), orders must be placed before 6:00pm (ACST) the evening prior. Sunday deliveries incur an additional processing fee of $30.00 and must be placed before 9am (ACST) the Saturday prior. We do not deliver on Public Holidays.

Re-Deliveries will occur under the following circumstances;
1. When the recipient is not home and it is not safe to leave flowers unattended. (e.g. access issues, gates, pets and animals).
2. When the recipient is not home and the weather is forecast to be over 25degrees centigrade. Re-deliveries will be charged at $15.00ea. If the arrangement/product needs to be re-produced for re-delivery, the full arrangement/product amount must be paid prior to re-delivery.

From time to time, we may need to use substitutions in colour or type of flower depending on seasonal availability.  In this instance, Christina C Events will continue to reflect the styling concept as depicted in the product photo.

I need to make a change to my order – what is the process?

Please contact us immediately via email or phone. We are an organised bunch and like to have orders prepared and ready for dispatch – if your order is ready, adjustments can no longer be made.

Can I request a specific delivery time?

We will try our best to accommodate your request, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a specific time.

How long do the everlasting arrangements last?

They will last for a minimum of 12 months and with the proper care, much longer. For flower care tips, please refer to the footer of our website, located at the bottom of the home page.
