Safe Transport of Floral Arrangements in a Minivan

Getting finished arrangements to an event without smashing flowers is a common challenge. Here are two low-cost, effective methods.

Method 1: Florist Carrier

Purchase a florist carrier (available in many sizes) designed to hold vases upright and protect flowers.

Method 2: DIY Sand Tubes

Fill men’s tube socks with sand, tie them off, and wedge them around each vase in a cardboard box. The weighted socks stabilize vases and prevent tipping.

Method 3: Cardboard Box with X-Cuts

Cut X-shaped slits in a cardboard box bottom, insert vases through the slits, and pack the box with paper or bubble wrap.
