About AVANE

How we're different

We only do beautiful, bespoke and stunning floral styles (no yellow cellophane in sight!). We price fairly, hand-design with love, and deliver happiness every day. We exist to make people smile. 

Are you one of those order gathering websites?

Hell no. Those websites take a massive commission (sometimes over 35% of what you've just paid!) and then outsource your order. We deliver from our floral workshop direct to the recipient. There's no middle man. We do everything with 100% love and we support other small businesses too. When you buy from us you are support a local small Tasmanian business.

I've missed the cut off time for same day delivery, can you still deliver something today?

Most of the time we definitely can! Just give us a call or message us to double check, and we will look after it for you :) 

What special instructions should I provide?

The more information you can provide about the delivery location, the more smooth the delivery process and the less chance of re-delivery fees being incurred.

Business Address: Please provide the name of the business and whether the gift should be delivered to reception, a loading dock or building concierge.

Residential Address: Please ensure that our drivers will be able to gain access to the property. If the address is within a secure building please ensure that the recipient will be home on the day of delivery or alternatively specify a safe location where the gift can be left. If our drivers cannot leave the gift in a safe location they will be returned to AVANE HQ and a re-delivery fee will apply.

If no one is home when your gift is delivered 

The recipient will be called to obtain instructions as to where the gift may be left or your gift can be left in a place nominated by you ( see 'Delivery Instructions' in check out) and if our courier deems it safe to do so. Alternatively, if there is nowhere safe or protected to leave your gift or weather conditions are not favourable then the flowers will be returned to the shop. The flowers can be re-delivered on the next available delivery run and will incur another delivery fee, or the gift can be collected from our shop. 

If your gift contains alcohol 

Please note that alcohol is provided on our website as an added gift only. It is not to be ordered as a one off product. Under Tasmanian Law alcohol cannot be left unattended or with a minor.  

Presentation of Flowers and Plants

How will my gift arrive?

All our flowers and gifts are sent out with absolute love and care, they are all carefully packaged and hand delivered.
Our flower arrangements are presented in a special foam that keeps them hydrated. Our flower bouquets are wrapped in water to stay hydrated. We’ll then add our standard message card with your lovely card message. We then pop the address label on and it’s ready to make someone’s day!

How do I care for my flowers?

So you have been the lucky receiver of a AVANE gift. LUCKY YOU! Our flowers are presented in a special foam that keeps them hydrated. All you need to do is top this foam up with water daily. Occasionally mist your floral arrangement with water if you can and remove any dead heads or leaves from the arrangement as time goes by. Place away from direct sunlight or heaters.

If you receive a bouquet, place in fresh water away from direct sunlight or heaters and cut the stems on an angle every 2-3 days.
