Floral Bouquet

A flower bouquet refers to an arrangement of cut flowers commonly purchased from a florist and wrapped in cellophane and is meant to be deposited in a vase of water. Flowers might also be placed in a box, as with long-stemmed roses, or they can be cut from the yard. The term is also used generically to mean any arrangement of flowers, including artificial ones.  

The most common use of a flower bouquet is associated with weddings. Much thought goes into the type of bouquet the bride will carry during the event. According to custom, just before leaving for honeymoon, the bride might toss her flower bouquet to the wedding party and the one who catches it is 'destined' to marry next. 

Flower bouquets can make a thoughtful gift for any event or occasion or just because. Birthdays and Valentines Day are closely associated with the gift of flowers. It can also let someone know she is special, say "I'm sorry" when the occasion calls for it, or brighten up the hospital room of a relative or a dear friend. 

For all the delicacy of a flower bouquet, it has a powerful aesthetic beauty that creates a sense of blossoming life and well-being. For this reason, many people make a habit of keeping flowers in the office or home. Although not the real thing, a quality silk flowers bouquet will not only fool visitors, but can also add wonderful color to any living space or workspace without the maintenance of live flowers. 

A living flower bouquet can be kept fresh longer by following a few simple tips. Upon receiving the flowers, fill the kitchen sink with lukewarm water and submerge the stems, cut about one inch (25 mm) off each underwater, holding the scissors at a steep angle. This technique removes clogged stem tissue and prevents air from getting inside the newly cut tissue. The angled cut allows more surface area to absorb more water, and prevents a 'flat' bottom, which can 'seal' itself against the bottom of the vase. 

Transfer the flower bouquet to a vase filled with water immediately. Lukewarm water is best as it contains less oxygen, which can block water uptake. Change the vase water every two or three days and add flower food each time. If flower food isn't available, you can try an aspirin. Keep dying foliage and flowers trimmed, and avoid placing the flowers near heat or bright light. 

A flower bouquet is a nice way to add personalized beauty to any room or mark any special occasion. Whether it's the boldness of tiger lilies, the elegance of silver and red roses, the unfettered fury of wild flowers, or the sweetness of carnations, a floral bouquet delivers the essence of life itself in all of its glorious colors.
