Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about our bouquets, delivery and payment. If yours is not here, message us on WhatsApp or Telegram and a manager will reply in English.

Are all the bouquets on the website available to order?

We keep the catalogue up to date and refresh it as the seasons change. But flowers are living things: on the day of your order, a particular variety may not arrive, or may not be up to our standard. If that happens, we will contact you and suggest a close alternative, similar in colour, mood and overall effect.

Will the bouquet look exactly like the photo?

The photos in our catalogue are of real Leto Flowers bouquets, made by our florists. Even so, a signature bouquet is difficult to reproduce exactly: from season to season, flowers differ in shade, size, shape and how far they have opened. We keep the style, colours and overall mood of the bouquet, but the exact mix of flowers may change.

How big will my bouquet be?

Every bouquet is made individually. Before we start, we can send you photos of similar bouquets we have already made, so you can get a sense of the size. When your bouquet is ready, we send you a photo before delivery.

Which bouquets come closest to their photos?

If a close match matters most, choose a monobouquet, a duo bouquet or a bouquet with a fixed set of flowers. They depend less on the season, so it is easier to match the photo. A signature bouquet is the one to choose when the Leto Flowers style matters more to you than an exact copy.

Can you choose flowers that are more open, or still in bud?

Yes. Tell us in advance and we will do our best to choose them that way. We usually pick tighter buds, so that the flowers open at home and last longer. If you need flowers that are more open, for a particular look or a photo shoot, just mention it when you order.

What if I don't like the bouquet when I see the photo?

Tell us exactly what you would like to change: the colour, shape, fullness, wrapping or any particular detail. We will do our best to make the changes before the bouquet is handed to the courier. Please bear in mind that a bouquet can only be reworked so far without affecting the freshness of the flowers, and the delivery time may move slightly.

Can I choose from bouquets you already have ready?

We don't keep ready-made bouquets on display. Every bouquet is made to order, so the flowers are fresh and the result fits what you have in mind. If you need to choose quickly, we can suggest suitable bouquets from the catalogue or send you photos of today's fresh flowers that we can make your bouquet from.

I don't know what to choose. Can you recommend something for the occasion?

Yes. Tell us who the bouquet is for and the occasion, which colours or flowers they love or dislike, and your budget. We will suggest a few bouquets from our catalogue, or similar ones we have made, with photos. Once you have chosen, we agree any changes with you before we start.

What if the flower I want isn't available, or isn't at its best today?

We won't sell you a second-rate or tired flower just because it is listed for that bouquet. If the variety you want is not at its best today, we will suggest an alternative in the same colours, with a similar mood or look. To us, an honest substitute is better than an exact match that falls short.

Why do you make every bouquet to order instead of keeping ready-made ones?

It gives us better control over freshness and quality. A ready-made bouquet in a shop window may look lovely, but its flowers are already sitting outside ideal conditions. We make each bouquet for a particular date, purpose and address, and send you a photo of it before delivery.

How do you make sure the flowers are fresh?

Our florists check each flower's appearance, the condition of the bud, leaves and stem, and how likely it is to open. Flowers are trimmed and conditioned properly, stand in clean water and are kept chilled according to the needs of each variety. If a flower does not meet our standard, it does not go into an order.

How is the bouquet packed for delivery?

The bouquet travels in a disposable vase with water, inside a transport box. We also put in care instructions, flower food and, if you have ordered one, a card. In cold weather we add extra insulation, so that the flowers reach the recipient safely.

Is wrapping included in the price of the bouquet?

Yes, standard wrapping is included. We finish bouquets with ribbon and frosted film, and for safe transport we use a disposable vase with water and a transport box. Wrapping should never compete with the bouquet, only set it off.

How do I look after the bouquet once it arrives?

Re-cut the stems, remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline and put the bouquet in a clean vase of cool water. Change the water every day or every other day, and keep the flowers away from direct sun, radiators, air conditioning and fruit. Every order comes with care instructions and flower food.

What if the flowers wilt too quickly?

Send us a photo of the bouquet on WhatsApp or Telegram, or by email. It also helps if you tell us where the bouquet was kept, whether the stems were trimmed and the water changed, and whether it stood near direct sun, a radiator or a draught. Flowers are living things, but we always look into cases like this carefully; it is never a box-ticking exercise.

Can you add a card to the bouquet?

Yes, we can add a Leto Flowers card and write your message on it. If you are not sure what to say, we can help you find a few words for the occasion. It is best to send your message in advance, so that we have time to prepare the card carefully before delivery.

Why do some flowers last longer than others?

Each variety has its own natural vase life, opens at its own pace and is more or less sensitive to conditions at home. Some open quickly and are at their best for a short, vivid moment of the season; others hold steady for several days and are a good choice for the home. If a long vase life matters to you, tell us and we will suggest more suitable flowers.

Can the card be written in English and Russian?

Yes. Send us your message in English and we'll write it by hand on our card: in English, in Russian, or both, if the recipient reads Russian more easily. We translate the text ourselves and show you the Russian version before the bouquet leaves the studio.

Should a bouquet in Russia have an odd number of flowers?

For a happy occasion, yes. In Russia an even number of flowers is taken to funerals, so bouquets for the living have an odd number. The custom matters most for small bouquets of fewer than a dozen flowers; for larger ones, an odd number is still the safe choice. If the number of flowers matters to you, mention it when you order.

Do you guarantee your flowers?

We make our bouquets from fresh flowers, check their quality closely and deliver them in water. If something is not right with your bouquet, let us know within 24 hours of receiving it and send us a photo. We will look into it carefully and do our best to find a solution.

If you make my bouquet the evening before, will it still be fresh in the morning?

Don't worry, it will stay fresh. We make morning orders the evening before and keep them in a special flower fridge, which helps the flowers last longer. They keep just as well there arranged in a bouquet as they do as loose stems.

Who makes the bouquets? Are you a floral studio or a delivery marketplace?

We are a real studio, not a marketplace. Leto Flowers is an independent floral studio in Moscow, in business since 2014. Every bouquet is made by our own florists on 2-ya Rybinskaya Street, and all the bouquets in our catalogue photos are our own work.

Are the photos in your catalogue your own?

Yes. The bouquets and arrangements in our catalogue photos were made by Leto Flowers florists. We do not use other people's work, nor do we promise an exact copy of a bouquet from someone else's photo. Our photos show the studio's real style and standard.
