Bouquet Making And Gifting Is An Art

By Janice Mendoza

Bouquet is a French term meaning an arrangement of flowers. It basically entails aesthetic designing with a bunch of flowers that can be wrapped in different ways and gifted on any special occasion.

Bouquet making is recognized as an art that needs patience and perseverance to acquire and cultivate. Commonly known as floristry, bouquet making includes arranging flowers, stems, leaves etc in interesting designs.

Making a bouquet begins with the plucking and sorting of different flowers, followed by cutting and separating. Then the withered leaves are removed and a specific floral design is made, after which they are clustered and wrapped.

The flowers can be arranged in different patterns depending upon the occasion; but every florist has his own unique style. The demand as well as the supply of flowers in a particular season also plays an important role in formulating the design of the bouquet.

It is also very important to note that different cultures ascribe different meanings to a flower as the same flowers can represent different ideas in different cultures. Therefore, one has to be very cautious while choosing a bouquet particularly for a person belonging to an entirely different community.

However, some flowers have a universal meaning irrespective of the culture. For example, you can always gift red roses to someone you love, no matter which culture she belongs to as red roses have come to symbolize love in cultures all over the world.

Bouquets have a very restricted life span. The flowers dry up soon, and so it is advisable to place them in vases filled with water, so that they can last a little longer than their usual span.

If you walk into a florist's or a gift boutique, you can find bouquets of different designs from which you can choose the correct one for your purpose. You can also place orders for bouquets online as that can be more convenient when you are short of time. - 32376
