Our Flower Styles – Pro’s & Con’s
We have a good variety of different Flower Styles. To help you decide what style to choose, below is a summary of how they compare …
FLOWER CARE: Whatever style you choose, ensure fresh cool water is added every day, and do not allow the flowers to dry out. (See our Flower Care page).
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)
Basket Flowers

In Simple Wrapping
Our “In Simple Wrapping” designs are where the flowers are put in only a very small amount of colourful wrapping paper/material (usually 1 or 2 sheets), with their stems as long as possible. We put water-soaked cotton wool around the bottom of the flower stems so the flowers will have some water for 1-2 days. However, the flowers should be moved to water (into a vase, for example) as soon as possible.
