WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Clients often ask what is the difference between a bouquet and a flower arrangement? It is a common question so here is a simple explanation:
Bouquet
Bouquets are a selection of flowers and foliage that are artfully grouped together (or bound together if a hand tied bouquet) to present a particular style, theme or expression and wrapped in paper and cellophane. Water tubes are generally attached to the stem to provide a water source while in transit or if hand tied placed upright in boxes wtih a cello wrap and bag containing water for hydrantion during transport. Bouquets are often given to people who already have a vase or vessel to place them in, or simply enjoy the pleasure of arranging flowers.
A bouquet on arrival requires the recipient to cut the flowers and place them in their own vase arrange unless presented in the hand tied variation where they only need to cut the stems and place the tied bouquet directly into water.
Why give a Bouquet?
Bouquets travel easier than arrangements in transport. (Arrangements without experience can be quite tricky to transport)If the recipient is someone who receives flowers regularly they most likely will have a collection of vases to work with. By forgoing the vase you can spend the additional funds towards the flowers, either by sending a larger group of flowers than would be in an arrangement or higher value flowers. When budgets are in consideration this is an option.
Flower Arrangement
A flower arrangement consists of flowers, foliage etc. creatively designed within a vase or vessel of some sort either in water directly or bio degradable floral oasis. Due to the additional time and costs of designing and preparing a flower arrangement that can also be safely transported they tend to cost more than a bouquet.
