Your guide to bouquets

Flowers are perfect for expressing emotions and adding beauty to any occasion. Whether you're celebrating, gifting or decorating, choosing the right bouquet style can make all the difference. Here are the three popular types: hand held, loose flowers and presentation bouquets.

Hand held bouquets

Also called posies or nosegays, these are small, tightly bound arrangements you can easily carry in one hand. Usually round, with stems wrapped in ribbon or lace for a polished look. Perfect for weddings (bridesmaids and brides) and proms.

Loose flower bouquets

These have a relaxed, natural feel, with flowers loosely gathered and sometimes tied with twine. Free-form and organic, showing off each flower's natural beauty. Perfect for casual get-togethers, spontaneous gifts, home decor and garden parties. Come and see our build-your-own bouquet bar.

Presentation bouquets

Also known as arm bouquets, these are designed to be cradled in your arm, not held upright. Long-stemmed flowers arranged horizontally, often wrapped at one end. Perfect for award ceremonies, graduations, stage performances, dance recitals and formal events.

Choosing your bouquet

Pick a bouquet that fits the feel and message of your occasion. Hand held bouquets are classic and elegant. Loose flower bouquets give a laid-back, natural look. Presentation bouquets make a bold statement for formal and grand events. Whichever you choose, each style brings its own charm.
