Selling Silk Arrangements Online: Shipping & Presentation

Shipping silk flowers is tricky—breakage and shifting are the enemies. Here's a system that works.

Presentation

• Photograph each piece on a clean, neutral background (white/gray seamless).
• Style with one accent (candle, book, vase) to show scale.
• Offer custom consultations via phone/video—builds trust and justifies higher prices.

Packing Protocol

1. Use a box 3+ inches larger than the arrangement on all sides.
2. Snake soft tissue paper between every bloom—creates a protective matrix.
3. Hot-glue stem bases into foam so nothing lifts.
4. Fill voids with packing peanuts or crumpled kraft paper.
5. Mark FRAGILE on all six sides; consider "This Side Up" arrows.
