Frequently asked questions
What flowers do I actually need for grad?
The core pieces are a corsage (wrist or pin-on) and a boutonniere for the lapel. Most families also grab a congratulations bouquet — something to hand the grad at the ceremony or dinner that photographs well. Not sure what you need? Tell us your event and we'll tell you exactly what makes sense.
How much do grad corsages and boutonnieres cost in Ottawa?
Corsages at Sweetheart Rose typically run $45 to $90, boutonnieres $25 to $55. Congratulations bouquets start around $55. Price depends on the flowers and how detailed the design is — we'll always be upfront about cost before we start, no surprises.
How far in advance should I order grad flowers?
Ideally 5–7 days out, especially in June when every florist in the city is slammed. That said — if you're reading this the day before grad, place a quick order above or call us at 613-841-8552. We handle last-minute orders all the time. Just don't wait until midnight.
Can you match the corsage to a specific dress colour?
That's literally the main thing we do. Send us a photo of the dress — or even just a screenshot from the website where it was ordered — and we'll build the corsage and bout around it. We match the blooms, the ribbon, all of it.
What's the difference between a wrist corsage and a pin-on corsage?
A wrist corsage sits on a bracelet — comfortable, no pins near the fabric, and very popular for grad banquets. A pin-on corsage attaches directly to the dress with a small pin. Both look great; wrist is usually the safer call if the dress is delicate. We'll help you decide if you're not sure.
