Bouquets, Baskets, Vases & Va-quets … compared:
Bouquet Flowers
PRO’s (ADVANTAGES)
- Flower Bouquets can be more beautiful than Baskets or Vases, because of the amount of Bouquet Wrapping which can add significant extra Size and Colour to the flowers.
- In many Countries & Cultures (but not all), Flower Bouquets are the most Popular &/or Traditional style for giving flowers as a gift.
- Some people prefer to give/receive flowers in Bouquets.
CON’s (DISADVANTAGES)
- Difficult To Add Water (to keep the flowers looking beautiful for as long as possible) because the bottom of the flower stems are covered with Bouquet Wrapping.
- Need to buy/find a Vase, and move the flowers out of the Bouquet into a Vase with water (if you want to keep the flowers looking beautiful for as long as possible).
- Cannot re-use the Bouquet Wrapping for other things (and not so good for the environment because some of the materials my not get recycled).
- Not So Easy to Display . To stand the flowers (in the Bouquet, which has a narrow bottom/base) somewhere for beautiful display, you need to lean them against a tall, vertical object, like a wall for example.
Bouquet Types
- TALL BOUQUET – An “Isan Flowers 2 Tall Bouquet” is where the Flower Stems are cut to 4 or More different lengths (some longer, some shorter) and the flowers are different heights. The flowers are usually positioned in a Triangle, Pentagon or Oval-like shape, with 1 or 2 longest flowers at the very top. (See our Tall Bouquets product page HERE)
- ROUND BOUQUET – An “Isan Flowers 2 Round Bouquet” is where the Flower stems are all cut shorter and most or all of the flowers are approximately the same height. The flowers are positioned in a Round shape. (See our Round Bouquets product page HERE)
- SLOPE BOUQUET – An “Isan Flowers 2 Slope Bouquet” is where some Flower Stems are cut shorter than others, resulting in flowers of usually 2, 3 or more different heights (so some flowers longer than in our Round Bouquets, but not as long/mixed as in our Tall Bouquets). The flowers are often positioned in a Rectangle or Square-like shape, with 2 or more longer flowers at the top. (See our Other Bouquets product page HERE)
