If you're running a flower shop, you already know the power of weekly floral subscriptions. They’re a great way to bring in consistent revenue, build client relationships, and keep your brand blooming all year round. Whether you're delivering to homes, offices, or retail spaces, your subscribers rely on you to brighten their week—and that takes more than just pretty stems.

Behind every beautiful, long-lasting arrangement is a smart supply strategy. From transport tools to design supports and packaging details, the right floral supplies can help you streamline your process, reduce waste, and impress your clients every single time.

So let’s talk about the essentials. Here are the top floral supplies to include (and keep stocked!) when creating your weekly subscription arrangements.

1. Floral Foam and Water Sources for Stability and Hydration

Not every client has a vase handy, and not every bouquet will be hand-delivered into one. That’s where water management becomes critical, especially for arrangements that need to last from one week to the next.

 Must-Have Supplies:

• Floral Foam (Biodegradable if possible) – Provides structure and hydration for centerpieces, baskets, or gift-style arrangements. Ideal for office lobbies or reception counters.

• Water Tubes – Perfect for single-stem or delicate flower support in handheld designs.

• Arrive Alive® (Biodegradable option available) – Keeps stems hydrated during transport for wrapped bouquets, without the mess of open water.

2. Reliable and Reusable Delivery Boxes

Subscriptions mean weekly deliveries—and that means your packaging needs to hold up. If arrangements arrive wilted, jostled, or leaking, it reflects poorly on your shop. Durable, reliable transport materials make all the difference.

 Must-Have Supplies:

• Jetwrap® Delivery Boxes – Specifically designed for florists, these keep arrangements upright, protected, and presentable.

• Vase Boxes & Rose Carriers – Ideal for larger designs or long-stem arrangements.

• Cardboard Vase Inserts – Provide extra grip and keep vases stable inside boxes.

3. Vase Options That Fit Your Subscription Model

Let’s be real: not every client wants to collect a new vase every week. Some love them, others don’t have the space. Offering flexible vase options helps you meet everyone’s needs—and simplifies inventory planning.

 Must-Have Supplies:

• Reusable Glass Vases – Classic cylinders or cubes that match most decor styles.

• Wooden Cube Containers – Trendy and eco-friendly, perfect for rustic or seasonal designs.

• Planter or Pot Covers – A simple way to elevate basic containers and change up the look each week.

4. Wrapping and Presentation Materials

When clients subscribe to weekly flowers, they’re not just buying blooms—they’re buying an experience. Beautiful presentation makes your arrangements feel premium and keeps customers excited to receive them.

 Must-Have Supplies:

• Florist Wrapping Paper – Kraft paper, colored wraps, or seasonal prints.

• Florist Tissue Paper – Adds softness and sophistication, especially in bouquet work.

• Cellophane Wraps – Keep moisture in and protect during transport; available in clear or decorative finishes.

• Ribbon, Twine, or Stickers – Small touches like branded ribbon or thank-you stickers go a long way.

5. Basic Design Essentials for Efficiency

When you're making 20–30+ arrangements every week, having the right tools at your fingertips can make or break your schedule. These behind-the-scenes staples save time and help maintain quality.

Must-Have Supplies:

• Floral Tape & Adhesive – For securing stems, greens, or detail work.

• Floral Wire (Various Gauges) – For structure and reinforcement, especially with larger or upright designs.

• Floral Buckets – Keep flowers fresh and organized by type or color before arranging.

• Floral Scissors and Clippers – Dull tools slow you down and damage stems—keep backups on hand!

6. Seasonal Touches That Keep Arrangements Fresh and Exciting

One challenge with weekly subscriptions is variety. Clients don’t want the same look every week. Having a rotating stock of accent materials and seasonal supplies helps you stay creative without reinventing the wheel.

Must-Have Supplies:

• Accent Greenery – Eucalyptus, ferns, ruscus, or seasonal branches for structure and fullness.

• Dried Elements – Pampas grass, bunny tails, or preserved florals add texture and last longer.

• Seasonal Picks or Decorations – Hearts for Valentine’s Day, small pumpkins for fall, or berries for winter give arrangements a timely touch.

Weekly floral subscriptions are about more than just flowers—they’re about consistency, quality, and the small details that keep customers coming back. With the right floral supplies in place, you can streamline production, wow your clients, and build a profitable, sustainable part of your business.
