Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? We've probably heard it before — here are the answers. If you don't find what you're looking for, give us a call at 204-421-6251 or email hello@oakandlily.ca — we're always happy to help.
Ordering & Delivery
Do you offer same-day flower delivery in Winnipeg?
Yes! We offer same-day flower delivery across Winnipeg, Tuesday to Saturday. Place your order before noon and we'll do our best to get your flowers there the same day. After noon, we recommend ordering for the following delivery day to guarantee freshness and timing.
What areas of Winnipeg do you deliver to?
We deliver across Winnipeg and surrounding areas. Delivery fees may vary depending on your location. If you're unsure whether we deliver to your address, give us a call at 204-421-6251 and we'll sort it out.
Can I order flowers for same-day pickup?
Absolutely. Pickup is available from our Corydon Ave studio Tuesday to Saturday. If you need something quickly, call ahead and we'll let you know what's ready to go — or we can have something made fresh and waiting for you.
What days are you open?
Our shop and delivery service runs Tuesday to Saturday. We're closed Sunday and Monday. For wedding and event inquiries, feel free to email us any time — we check messages throughout the week.
Can I include a message card with my order?
Yes — and we'd love to write it out for you. Add your message at checkout or call us with what you'd like it to say. We'll include a handwritten card with every order.
Flowers & Care
How long will my flowers last?
With a little care, most bouquets and arrangements last 5 to 10 days. Trim the stems at an angle, change the water every couple of days, keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and they'll thank you for it. We include care instructions with every order.
I'm not giving the flowers until tomorrow — will they be okay?
Yes! Keep them in water in a cool spot — away from direct sun, heating vents, and fruit bowls (fruit releases ethylene gas that shortens flower life). They'll be perfectly beautiful by the time you give them.
Do you use locally grown Manitoba flowers?
Whenever we can, yes. During the summer growing season we source locally grown Manitoba flowers, which we absolutely love for their freshness and for supporting local growers. The rest of the year we work with the finest imported blooms we can find. Either way, quality and freshness come first.
Do you sell flowers by the stem?
We don't sell individual stems in our online shop, but if you pop into our Corydon Ave studio we may be able to help depending on what we have in. Give us a call first and we'll let you know what's available.
Weddings, Events & Workshops
How far in advance should I book wedding flowers?
We recommend reaching out as early as possible — ideally 6 to 12 months before your wedding date, especially for spring and summer weddings which fill up quickly. That said, don't hesitate to contact us even if your date is coming up sooner. We'll always let you know if we can make it work.
What's the difference between your full-service and à la carte wedding options?
Our full-service option is for couples who want the complete experience — a design consultation, custom proposal, and on-site delivery and styling on the day. Our à la carte menu is perfect for smaller or more intimate celebrations where you pick the pieces you need (bouquets, boutonnieres, centrepieces) and pick them up from our studio. Both are beautiful options — it just depends on how much support you'd like.
Do you offer floral workshops in Winnipeg?
Yes! Our hands-on floral workshops are open to all skill levels and are a genuinely lovely way to spend an evening. Popular for date nights, girls' nights out, and team events. Check our workshops page for upcoming dates and to book your spot.
