Flowers for September 1 — Bouquets for the First Day of School
September 1 is the one morning of the year when the whole city needs flowers within the same two hours. Our school range starts at 4,600 ₸ and goes up to 14,700 ₸, and every bouquet below is assembled for exactly this day — compact enough for a child to carry, sturdy enough to survive the assembly line.
When to order so the bouquet arrives in time
The last week of August is the busiest stretch of our year. Bouquets ordered on August 31 for the morning of September 1 are made overnight, and the range narrows to whatever flowers arrived on the last delivery. Ordering by August 28–29 means you pick from the full selection rather than from what is left.
A pre-order costs nothing extra: you choose the bouquet and the delivery window now, we assemble it on the morning of the day itself. If plans change, tell us a day ahead and we move the date.
What to take, depending on who the flowers are for
| Who it is for | Budget | Format |
|---|---|---|
| From a first-grader | from 4,600 ₸ | A small bouquet a child can hold in one hand |
| From a pupil, middle school | 8,000 – 9,500 ₸ | A medium bouquet or a flower bag with a handle |
| From the family, to a class teacher | 13,000 – 15,000 ₸ | A full bouquet in wrapping |
| From the whole class | from 15,000 ₸ | One large bouquet or a basket instead of thirty small ones |
Which flowers work for the first day of school
The bouquet spends two or three hours outdoors, gets carried through a crowd and then stands in whatever container the classroom has. That rules out fragile heads and heavy scents, and it is the reason our school bouquets are built around chrysanthemums, sunflowers, hydrangeas and roses rather than lilies or peonies.
Four things worth checking before you order
- Size. A bouquet taller than the child is a photograph the family will laugh at, and a burden for the next three hours. For grades 1–4 keep to 40 cm stems.
- Scent. Lilies and freesias are strong in a closed classroom and there is usually at least one child with an allergy. Chrysanthemums and sunflowers are safe.
- Wrapping. Crackly film is loud during the assembly. Matte paper or a flower bag with a handle behaves better.
- Water. A bouquet in a bag or a box with floral foam survives the morning without a vase — useful, because vases in schools run out by 9 a.m.
Delivery on the morning of September 1
We deliver across Astana around the clock, express in 60–90 minutes. On September 1 the morning window is the tightest of the year, so the safest option is delivery to your home address before the assembly rather than to the school gates.
Delivery is free on orders above 20,000 ₸. We send a photo of the bouquet before dispatch — on a day this busy that is the fastest way to confirm you got what you chose.
Questions we get every August
How much does a bouquet for September 1 cost?
Our school bouquets run from 4,600 ₸ to 14,700 ₸. The lower end is a small bouquet for a first-grader; 13,000–15,000 ₸ is a full bouquet for a class teacher.
When is the deadline to order?
Order by August 28–29 to choose from the full range. We do take orders on August 31 for the next morning, but by then the selection depends on the last delivery.
Can you deliver straight to the school?
We can, but the morning of September 1 is chaotic at every school gate. Delivery to your home address before the assembly is far more reliable.
One bouquet from the whole class or one from each child?
One large bouquet from the class is easier on the teacher — thirty small bouquets do not fit in any staff room. If the class agrees on a collective gift, budget from 15,000 ₸.
What if the flowers need to last until evening?
Ask for an arrangement in a box or a bag with floral foam. It holds water on its own and does not need a vase during the school day.
Ordering ahead of the last week of August means choosing from everything we have, not from what is left. Pick a bouquet below and set the delivery date for September 1.
