The packaging of a flower bouquet is a very important element. It must enhance the entire arrangement, sometimes being discreet and other times having a protective role. Using certain colors and patterns can improve the overall appearance of the bouquet. Also, packaging can have a protective role, especially during the cold season.
It can harmoniously complete the floral composition if it is correctly matched and integrated.
More details about floral arrangements and new trends in this field are offered by Marga Baltaretu, designer at the floral atelier Margot.
Flowers are a reason for joy both when we give them and when we receive them. When we give a bouquet of flowers, we want to express some feelings – gratitude, love, friendship – towards a certain person. Once the flower varieties have been chosen, we will then focus on the composition of the bouquet.
I believe in the simple beauty of flowers and often they don't need anything extra to be a small work of art.
Packaging adds value to the composition or helps shape the style of the arrangement
When we want to dress flowers in packaging, we must be careful that it complements them in a pleasant way. We are talking here about matching the different types of packaging with the flowers in the composition, their textures, colors and shapes. Packaging is important because it adds value to the composition or helps shape the style of the work.
Often, a simple ribbon is all that is needed to perfect a bouquet.
When it comes to packaging, there are many options and the limit is only set by imagination.
Cellophane and paper are very commonly used materials in our traditional florists. In recent years, jute mesh, raffia, organza have been used.
Many floral ateliers and florists no longer use these materials but create bouquets wrapped in foliage – large green leaves, which give the bouquet a more natural and elegant look. A simple ribbon with a bow is enough to complete such a bouquet.
New trends in bouquet arrangement: wire wrapped in plant material
Another option that has recently entered the market is structures for bouquets made of wire wrapped in various plant materials – twigs, straw, moss.
I prefer simple bouquets, made only from flowers and plant material, complemented by a ribbon matched to the flowers in the composition.
