A: We know that COVID delays and cancelations are a real fear right now. Most of your “What if COVID” questions are answered in our COVID19 policy page here.

A: A Homecoming Mum is a Tradition that dates back to the 1930’s and as far back as the 1910’s in Missouri, through the years has gotten bigger and expanded to other parts of the U.S. The tradition is that the bigger the mum, the more loved you are by the one who gave it to you. Males wear the mum garter on their arms and the ladies wear the mums pinned to their shoulder or around the neck. Read more about what a Homecoming Mum is HERE..

A: That honestly depends. Note from the owner: “The first time I ever made a mum I spent $90.00 at the Hobby Lobby and got a flower a couple of trinkets and a few rolls of ribbon then  spent 4-5 hours trying to make it and thought… there’s gotta be a better way! That’s why at Mums and Kisses, we sell mums cheaper than I could make one myself. We go direct to the manufacturer and buy in bulk and we pass these savings on to our customers.”

A: No Photos Please –  If you are nervous or VERY VERY particular about your order it’s best to call us and request an appointment with the owner to talk about your mum before ordering.  We can do this in store or via phone. We will work with you on your mum order until you’re happy that we understand your vision. But please do not ask us to send you photos of your product in process. This takes a lot of time for the amount of orders we handle. It sounds simple to snap a photo and send it to your phone, but this can lead to an hour long text session about what is being done. We always feel a little like a sonogram before the baby comes, it’s nice but you don’t really see what you’re getting till it’s there. Like most things that are ordered, it’s better to trust the company you hire.

Since we ship our mums we can be everywhere! Our physical store is located just outside Fort Worth in Crowley Texas. And yes you can come into our store and see our work as well as buy your own supplies to make your mums yourself If you’d like.

A: We have a couple of things going for us. 1st we keep our prices lower than most can make their own mum because we work directly with manufacturers and distributors. 2nd We offer high quality satin mums, not paper acetate! We use larger flowers than hobby lobby They use 4 inch flowers. We use 6 1/2 to 9 inch flowers (besides peewees and mini d’s) We also have a very professional and secure website that most mum professionals can not duplicate. We personally feel if their website looks basic, how great will their products turn out? And how secure would we feel giving our personal info to them.  The owner of Mums and Kisses has had her personal information stolen online and never wants anyone else to experience the upset of online fraud, that’s why she insists that we use the highest level of website protection! Mums and Kisses also offers coupons and discounts as well as high quality, creativity. It’s our sole focus all year long!

We are the pioneers of mum shipping! One of the first to ship mums in bulk. Customers are amazed that we can ship mums, and a LOT of them. Over 85% of our orders are shipped! Whether we’re shipping to you across town, across the state or across the country, we will ship the same way! To answer the question of how we ship, the simple answer would be FLAT! No not flat rate shipping…. we mean the mum is laid out flat, It’s laying down in it’s own box and secured so it will not move. This way you get it the way we made it. No folding! No Saran wrap, no plastic wrap, we invest in custom shipping materials that make sure your mum doesnt move in transit.

A: YES YOU CAN! We have a physical shop location!

A: No we require payment when placing the order.

A: Depends on what you want. The designer mums have everything you need and for most freshmen and sophomores they’re awesome! But for those upperclassmen or those that have seen it done by an older sibling, they want more and the build your own, is MORE in both creation and in cost. If you want your mum specific and as custom as can be, then build your own is the way to go!

A: This rarely happens because of our close relationship with our manufacturer. BUT, if we are back ordered or out of stock of an item we will substitute product that will be an upgraded product than you probably ordered. We feel it’s our fault if we don’t have something you asked for so if we have something better we’ll automatically use it. If we can’t substitute an item, we will contact you.

A: Please see our Cancellation & Refunds page.

A: Our ordering system is set to accept only orders we can make and ship in time. We have an on time rate of 100% That’s no joke. We have jumped through hoops to make sure that our customers aren’t let down. We keep saying we have kids too, we do! We wouldn’t let them down if we can help it. We will go above and beyond to make sure it gets there in time BUT… we can’t control everything. We will bust it to do our part but once it leaves us, it’s in the hands of the shipping carrier and God. In all the years we’ve been doing this, including shipping mums through Hurricane Harvey, we’ve done it! But there really is no guarantee, please know that. If you’re going to order 3-4 days before your homecoming, you are taking the risk of the off chance that it won’t make it. But you do have our promise that we always do our very best to make sure you get your order by your need by date.

A: If your order is marked “in processing” That’s a good thing! It means that we’re making your item, it is on our cutting table are actively working on it.

This is how our email contact and stages of processing work:

Stage 1: When you originally make your order your status is considered “pending”. And you receive an email confirmation.

Step 2: When your order has been received internally a work order will be issued to make your product(s) and the status will change to “order is processing”. This is where we are actively making your mum. this does NOT mean your order paper work is processing, it means we’re making your order.

Step 3: Your order status will stay in processing until it reaches the “Finishing Touches” stage. In the finishing touches status you will receive an email updating you that your products are being steam cleaned, quality controlled, documented and packaged (the quickest part of the process).

Step4: After this stage your order will be changed to “order complete”. You will receive an email stating your order is now complete. This does NOT mean it has shipped yet and the email will NOT contain tracking information yet. Unfortunately our system is too detailed for that.

Step 5: After your order is complete it is waiting to be shipped or picked up.

For Shipping – When the carrier collects the package, your item status is now changed to “Order Shipped” At the “order shipped” stage, you will receive an email with a tracking number.

For Pickup – Your order status will go from “order complete” to “order ready for pickup”
