Substitution Policy

At A Crooked Stem Flowers & Gifts, every arrangement is thoughtfully designed using fresh, seasonal flowers. Because flowers are a natural and perishable product, substitutions may occasionally be necessary due to availability, seasonality, or quality standards.


We make every effort to match the overall style, color palette, and value of the original selection. If a specific flower is unavailable, we may substitute it with a similar bloom of equal or greater value to ensure your arrangement remains beautiful and long-lasting.


For designs that include specialty or premium blooms, substitutions may be made within the same color family and design aesthetic. Containers or vases may also be substituted when necessary, but will always be of equal or greater value.


Rest assured—our designers take great care to maintain the integrity, quality, and spirit of every arrangement we create.


If you have a must-have flower or do not wish to allow substitutions, please let us know at the time of ordering.
