Quick answers about graduation gift sets and keepsakes
Properly preserved flowers can last 6 months to a year or longer when kept away from direct sunlight and humidity. The tassel and cap remain keepsakes indefinitely, making the whole arrangement a lasting memory.
Yes. While white and cream flowers are traditional, you can incorporate Tartu's colors (blue and white) through ribbon accents, preserved greenery, or by selecting flowers in complementary shades. The key is keeping the overall look elegant and timeless.
Mount the arrangement on a shelf, windowsill, or dresser where it won't be knocked over. Keep it out of direct sunlight to preserve both flowers and the tassel's color. A shadow box or display case offers protection while keeping the gift visible.
We recommend ordering 2-3 weeks before the ceremony. This gives time for sourcing quality flowers, preserving them if needed, and assembling the arrangement without rush. For last-minute gifts, reach out to discuss available options.
