Where You Can Find Your Bouquets

bouquets of flowers

In the Victorian era, the bride and groom would send bouquets to each other to convey secret meanings. Each flower meant something different, such as carnations for “love and devotion,” chrysanthemums for “wealth and truth,” the lily for “majesty and honor,” tulips for “love and passion,” daisies for “beauty,” amaryllis for “pride, determination and radiant beauty” and yellow acacia for “secret love.” Today, bouquets of flowers are sent as a gesture of good will and thoughtfulness, but that is not all. Balloons, chocolates, teddy bears, candy and other gifts can be sent as well. Thanks to the internet and same-day delivery, gift giving has never been easier!

Balloon bouquets are a creative gift to celebrate someone’s special day, whether it is a birthday, a graduation or a new baby. A good selection can be found at www.giftbasket.com, starting as low as $30 and ranging up to $86.95 (to include flowers too). Balloons can be combined with teddy bears or chocolates too. Those looking for a really creative, customized balloon bouquet will love www.balloonplanet.com, where they can choose their own by theme, including Disney characters, alcoholic beverages, bugs, animals, singing balloons, sports, stars, hearts and more. For quick same-day delivery, www.1-800-balloons.com can accommodate with a number of arrangements.

For a unique gift, there are “edible arrangements” to send at www.ediblearrangements.com. Instead of the traditional flowers, a gift giver can send an arrangement of chocolate-dipped strawberries or beautifully arranged mixed fruit for any occasion. For instance, the Bosses’ Day arrangement includes pineapple daisies, cantaloupe, fresh strawberries, grapes and chocolate covered orange slices with a special “Thank You/Happy Bosses’ Day” balloon! A party bouquet also makes a great table setting and appetizer! To really light up a loved one’s life, gift givers can purchase a 3, 6 or 12 month “Bouquet of the Month” club, which will keep sending new bouquets to surprise that special someone. Prices start as low as $30 and range just over $400 (for the 12-month club).

Bouquets aren’t always necessarily gifts. Often times, they’re used to bring joy to a celebration, to decorate and to add ambiance. For instance, wedding bouquets can enhance a bride’s appearance and experience. Cascading can slim a self-conscious bride, while shorter brides may want a round arrangement to make them look taller. Cascading and hand-tied bridal bouquets can take the emphasis away from a bride’s wide hips, while a round one will balance out a petite bride. A hand-tied bouquet is popular for the natural, “fresh-from-the-garden” casual look. Once the style is chosen, there is still color and bloom variety to contend with, so choosing one is a very personal experience.
