Designing And Presenting Bouquets

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Bouquet is a French term meaning a certain arrangement of flowers. It is essentially a form of designing and wrapping done with a bunch of flowers to act as a gift on a special event.

Bouquet preparation is recognized as an art that needs considerable patience and perseverance to acquire and cultivate. Commonly known as floristry, bouquet making involves clustering flowers, stems, leaves etc in unique patterns.

Bouquet making starts with selecting the appropriate flowers for clustering and then trimming them to fit an arrangement in a bouquet. Then the dry leaves are separated and a particular floral pattern is created, after which they are tied up and wrapped.

The flowers can be assorted in different patterns depending upon the occasion; however every florist has his distinctive style. The design is also dependent on the availability of flowers in that season and what price the bouquets can fetch in the market.

It is also worth noting that the same type of flowers can assume opposite meanings in some cultures in various parts of the world. Therefore, a bouquet must be chosen sensibly if you want to present it to a person who belongs to another culture.
