Presentation
bouquets
Made with a collection of loose flowers, presentation bouquets give you the
flexibility to arrange the flowers in two or three vases depending on the size
of the bouquet.Cut and condition the flowers as above. Make sure you use clean
vases as residue from previous arrangements can harbour bacteria that reduce
the life of your flowers.Keep them away from harsh sunlight and heat-producing
appliances – but make sure they are somewhere you can see and enjoy them!

A bit of Flower History
|
Flowers create a special
language of their own. The meaning of flowers, herbs and leaves has been written
about for centuries. Each book written may proclaim a different meaning, but the
meaning of flowers are, after all, whatever you want them to be. The bloom of
a dandelion given by a small child holds as much love as a rose given by a admirer.
Various flowers can create interesting conversation. Definitions are dependant
on color, size, buds or full blooms and whether they are alone, paired or in bouquets.
A lot to remember when trying to pick just the right flower for someone special.
