1. Traditional Flower Bouquets
Design: A traditional bouquet is hand-tied with flower stems bound together, often wrapped in decorative paper or fabric.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the wrapping paper carefully once you receive it.
- Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle.
- Place the flowers in a clean vase filled with water and flower food.
Best For: Gifting, simple home arrangements, or when the recipient enjoys arranging flowers themselves.
2. Wet Foam Arranged Flower Bouquets
Design: In this style, the flowers are inserted into a wet floral foam base, which provides both structure and hydration. The foam is usually concealed within decorative wrapping that doesn’t need to be removed.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the wrapping intact—do not unwrap.
- Check the foam daily and add water as needed to keep it moist.
- Display it as is—no vase required!
Best For: Convenient, ready-to-display arrangements that require minimal maintenance.
