The Basics

  • What are Nordblooms Preserved Flowers?

    Nordblooms are real natural flowers that have been harvested in full bloom and then bio-preserved to make them longer lasting. This process allows them to retain their fresh cut look and feel for up to one year—unlike fresh flowers that only last for about a week, Nordblooms makes the perfect home accessory blooming beautifully all year round.

  • How are the flowers treated?

    Harvested at the peak of their beauty, the flowers go through a preservation process using glycerin and food dyes. The process allows the flowers to maintain their natural beauty, soft supple look and freshly cut appearance for up to one year.

  • How long do preserved flowers last?

    Our flowers and foliage last for up to a year. As a natural and biodegradable product, they do not last forever but will eventually lose their water content and dry out. To enhance the life of the plants keep them away from direct sunlight, air conditioning vents and heaters as this will dry out the flowers more quickly.

  • Are they flowers or a home accessory?

    Both. Unlike perishable flowers our blooms still look fresh by the end of the week. Paired with one of our modern vases they make the perfect home accessory, elevating your space and blooming beautifully for up to a year.

  • Preserved flower bouquets as an interior design item.

    Due to their long-lasting properties, our bouquets serve as an interior design item. Just like how an accent pillow or a piece of art gives character to a room and ties all the elements together, our carefully curated bouquets matched with a contemporary vase adds the final touch and completes the look.

  • Where is my bouquet made?

    Nordblooms bouquets are curated by hand in our New York studio, wrapped in our signature paper and delivered straight to your door in our editorial flower box.

  • How does it work?
    • Select your favorite bouquet (don’t forget to add a vase for the perfect finish), place the order and wait for your delivery.
    • For a table-ready option - Gently unpack the bouquet and place it in one of our vases, no water or trimming stems needed. Alternatively use one of your own and trim stem lengths to match the vase.
    • Sit back and enjoy!

    For a complete experience, set the mood and play some Scandi tunes from one of our curated Scandinavian playlists made by our friends in Scandinavia.

  • The effect of flowers and plants for our wellbeing.

    Being in a space with natural plants promotes a sense of peace, grounds us and makes us feel connected to nature. Plants reduce stress, are great for our mood and enhance our overall wellbeing. Nordblooms is all about cultivating spaces where we can be our best and that allows us to restore, reflect and feel inspired.

  • What does Hej Hej Halla mean?

    Pronounced “Hey Hey Ha-llo” it means Hey Hej Hello and is a friendly greeting phrase.

Caring for preserved flowers

  • How to care for preserved flowers?
    • Do not water the flowers or put the stems in water.
    • Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid the color fading.
    • Keep in a cool, dry spot in the home and avoid humidity.
    • Keep the plants away from air-conditioning and heating vents to avoid drying out the stems.
    • The flowers are made for interior use only, do not place flowers outside.
    • The flowers have been treated with natural dyes. To prevent transfer of color, do not place in contact with fabrics or other delicate items.
    • If exposed to humidity, the stems may sweat and leak small amounts of water and dye. In this event gently dry the stems and leaves with a tissue.
    • The flowers are delicate, handle your blooms with care.

    And lastly, remember to enjoy your new bouquet!

Sustainability & Community

  • What is the impact of buying fresh cut flowers?

    Fresh cut flowers are often air freighted from all around the world and need to be kept in temperature controlled and refrigerated transports and facilities leading to greater carbon emissions. Fresh cut flowers usually last for about a week compared to preserved flowers that last for up to one year. Due to the short life span, the annual carbon footprint of purchasing a dozen fresh roses every week, is about 686 pounds of CO2 emissions (2007 study by Cranfield University in England).

  • How sustainable is Nordblooms?

    Apart from being pretty (and dare we say near perfect) preserved flowers are also:

    • Longer-lasting than fresh flowers.
    • Real, natural and biodegradable, unlike fake or artificial flowers.
    • Contributing to less waste. Save up to 51 bouquets from landfill annually compared to replacing fresh flowers weekly.
    • Helping to reduce carbon emissions through drastically reducing the number of transports needed.
    • A more sustainable alternative to fresh cut flowers so that you can enjoy the beauty of real flowers but without the guilt.
    • Maintenance free, requiring no watering or upkeep so that you have more time to do the things that you enjoy.
    • Delivered in our recyclable packaging
  • What do I do with the flower delivery box?

    Repurpose our floral box into an artsy storage box to house your goodies or recycle the box so that it can live a second life.

  • What if I only want the same design for a few months?

    No problem at all. If you want to upgrade or change a bouquet that still has useful life, we have partnered with the charity BloomAgainBklyn who you can donate the bouquet to so that it gets repurposed and brings joy to someone else. Alternatively, you can gift it to someone in your life who would appreciate to add some greenery or vibrant flowers to their space.

    Even if a bouquet has only been used for 3 months it is still a more sustainable option than fresh flowers and is equivalent to 12 weeks of bouquets and you have saved 11 bouquets from ending up in landfill.

  • How to donate to BloomAgainBklyn?

    Bouquets that still have useful life can be donated straight to the charity by dropping it off at their facility (please see their website for most up to date information).

    If you would like to make a donation to support a good cause and the great work of BloomAgainBklyn please go to their website www.bloomagainbklyn.org and follow the steps.
