White Lilies in a Glass Vase with Gold Ribbon
White lilies with eucalyptus in a clear glass vase, tied with a gold-flecked ribbon, calm and elegant.
White lilies stand for purity, respect and gratitude, and this arrangement presents them simply: fresh stems with eucalyptus in a clear glass vase, tied with a gold-flecked ribbon. It arrives ready in water, so nobody has to look for a vase, which matters when the recipient is in a hotel, a hospital room or a house busy with visitors. It works as a heartfelt thank-you, a wish for a quick recovery, a quiet message of sympathy to a family or a graceful gift for a wedding. Add a few lines on the note page after checkout and we will write them on the card by hand.
What is actually in it
White lilies with eucalyptus in a clear glass vase 21 cm high and 9.5 cm wide, tied with a gold-flecked ribbon. Overall height 30 to 40 cm. The vase is included. The number of lily heads can vary with how far the buds have opened.
What it looks like on day four
Lilies arrive partly in bud and open over the following days, so the arrangement keeps changing and usually lasts a week or more. Pinch off the orange pollen tips as each flower opens: it keeps the petals clean and avoids stains on clothes and tablecloths.
We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.
Keep the vase away from direct sun, draughts and heat sources such as radiators or air conditioning. Check the water every day and refresh it with clean, room-temperature water, trimming the stems by half a centimetre to a centimetre at an angle each time. Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline and take out fading flowers early so the rest stay fresh for longer.
The five things that actually matter
- Recut the stems. Two centimetres off at a 45° angle, under running water if you can. Air locks in the stem are the main cause of early droop.
- Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
- Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
- Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
- Cool and out of direct sun. A radiator or a sunny windowsill will halve the vase life of anything.
Do all five and you should see nine days from this bouquet rather than five. The long version is in the journal.

Delivery
Same-day delivery is available across all 39 districts of Istanbul, on the same nine daily delivery windows from 09:00 to 22:00. Delivery is always free, on every order, everywhere we deliver in Istanbul, no threshold, no surcharge.
We deliver in our own vans with our own drivers. That is more expensive than handing it to a parcel courier, and it is the reason 98.2% of orders land inside the window you chose.
Substitution policy
Fresh flowers are an agricultural product. Occasionally the market does not have what we planned for, especially with seasonal stems like peonies. When that happens we do one of two things, and never anything else:
- Message you on WhatsApp before dispatch with the alternative we propose, so you can approve it or cancel for a full refund.
- If there is no alternative you are happy with, you can cancel for a full refund. We will not quietly send something different and hope you do not notice.
Cancellations
Change or cancel free until 18:00 the day before delivery. After that the flowers are cut and conditioned specifically for your order, so cancellation is not possible. This is the perishable-goods exception under distance-selling rules, and it is stated again at checkout before you pay.
