Guide to Flower Bouquets
1.1 What are good flowers to make a bouquet out of?
Bouquets are universal when it comes to holding flowers. There are millions of flowers on the earth and an infinite way to arrange them into a unique bouquet. Popular bouquets of flowers include:
- Rose Bouquets: Roses don’t simply have to be red and long-stemmed, they come in a huge array of shapes and colours. Damask roses can be used as an eye-catching variant in your bouquet, as they are one of the largest and intricate rose species. Nasturana roses work well in clusters as they are a smaller variant of the Rose flower.
- Lily Bouquets: A popular bouquet, particularly for weddings, mourning or Easter time. The lily flower creates a wonderful bouquet which create a strong fragrant scent characteristic of Lily flowers.
- Hydrangea Bouquets: The Hydrangea flower is comprised of clusters of white, blue, green, pink or purple tinged petals. They are a prime choice for wedding bouquets. They are a hardy plant which can withstand high heats, and can remain fresh looking for up to a couple of days before withering sets in.
1.2 Are there any occasions designed to give flower bouquets?
Bouquets are a timeless way to arrange flowers, however there are some instances where they are the preferred display of flowers. These are:
- Anniversary Bouquets: Traditionally flowers are given to the wife or female partner on anniversary occasions, and the men receive a different gift such as a watch. Women rarely forget anniversaries – they’ll be sitting at work or home in anticipation of their partner remembering. Let the hearts melt when she sees you holding a stunning bouquet of vibrant flowers.
- I’m Sorry Bouquets: Sometimes showing up and begging for sympathy and forgiveness simply isn’t enough. You need that extra ‘oomph’ to break down the emotional barriers of anger, frustration and disappointment. That’s where the big bouquet of forgiveness steps in.
- Mother’s Day Bouquets: If you haven’t seen your mother in some time, or the mother you are celebrating happens to be your wife, the only thing which will please the lucky mum more than seeing you is seeing you with a fresh bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day in their hands.
- Wedding Bouquets: A wedding bouquet is likely the most important arrangement of flowers you will ever create, give or receive in your life. They can be used as a centerpiece for the wedding table, are carried by the bride down the altar, and of course tossed to the crowd of eager guests to catch. White is often used as the bulk of colour as it represents virtue, purity and innocence. Lily’s and roses are common makeups of a wedding bouquet, but anything goes.
1.3 How can I create a bouquet of flowers?
Like learning to ride a bike or tying your shoelaces, learning to wrap a bouquet may take some getting used to, but once you learn you will never forget the easy process. Most guides available on the internet are wedding bouquet orientated, but the same process can be used for a regular bouquet.
