Nothing makes a person happier than a surprise flowers delivery. Whether it be a birthday, anniversary or just because — a creative and personalized arrangement can send the right message long after they have been received. While nice blooms are important, wrong little details could push this bouquet out from just beautiful to forever memorable. Here we’re going to share with you 3 creative hacks for the personalisation of surprise bouquet delivery in the UK along with some specific extra tips that will help to enhance the overall impression of your present.
Personalise your bouquet with extra non-floral items
It would appear that blooms are the protagonists in any type of surprise bouquet, but what turns a surprise into something unforgettable always rests on some interpretative act. On top of that, bringing in non-floral elements can make your bouquet feel like it was designed with the recipient specifically in mind.
- Try using something sensual and sentimental. Once you use personal items, place them randomly and lightly into the nooks made by small pockets in the bundle like charms or ribbon you both shared a few years ago; excerpts from childhood letters nestled amid petals. If the receiver is someone who loves travelling you can glue a small souvenir of their favourite destination along with it.
- Add some favourite scents. If you know the recipient has a scent they love and it is not normally floral, try adding things like herbs (lavender or rosemary leaves) to sprigs; maybe orange slices if it’s citrus. This creates a tactile experience that is not just visual aesthetics.
- Use unique and extraordinary fillers. Forget traditional baby’s breath or eucalyptus as filler. Get creative and add touches like feathers, dried wheat stalks or even elements such as miniature succulents. The surprise inclusion of these can help your bouquet feel more personalized and sincere.
Try to arrange the bouquet asymmetrically to make it look contemporary
Most traditional bouquets are symmetrical and have a balanced arrangement. However, as wonderful as traditional arrangements can be — a modern and whimsical bouquet leans toward an organic, quirky look. This intentional layout brings character and visual interest to the composition.
- Don’t select flowers of a similar height. Allow certain blooms to sit taller than others instead of all being the same height. For instance, taller flowers like lilies or snapdragons might rise above the rest while smaller, more delicate blooms such as fresias or spray roses can cluster lower in the arrangement. The height difference makes an eye-catching look.
- Use versatile colour shades in unexpected blends. Instead of scattering the colours evenly cluster similar ones. Design pockets of colour throughout the bouquet for an amazing contrast. Separate, say all of your deep reds or purples on one side and have it fade into pinks and creams in another area.
- Don’t hesitate to use a distinct petal size. Pretty big wildflowers can look great next to the small peonies. The varied sizes begin to create an irregular curvature that yet remains together and well thought out This technique gives it a more natural and loose feel, like how blooms sprung up in the wild. The bouquets arranged this way have an asymmetrical style that brings in a more artistic angle than many typical arrangements you see.
Consider some unusual packaging and presentation options
Of course, the flower surprise is vital and cannot be ignored but presentation plays an important role in making an impression. Bouquets are often wrapped in simple paper, but a little extra effort on the wrapping can improve the delivery!
- Consider some extra options for packaging. Think outside the box and wrap your surprise gift flower in a soft cloth or a rough burlap bag instead of paper. This not only makes the bouquet pretty in itself but adds another textural element. The careful thought put into each detail will be noticed by the receiver. The packaging is the first impression your recipient will see so it should be as spectacular at top-notch as the flowers themselves to launch a complete and cohesive surprise.
- Think about sustainable wraps. Once you pay a little bit more and can get packaging with reusable, sustainable recyclable materials it will show your influencers that you give two shits. You could, for example, use biodegradable paper and natural twine or reusable fabric wraps. This indicates that you are not wasting anything and saving money.
- Put a small gift inside the bouquet. You can also make the bouquet more of a surprise by adding something small and a hidden gift, such as their favourite chocolate bar, tiny memorabilia or even just a little note with your sweet romance message. Hiding these beauties deep within the arrangement also means that when your loved one receives it, they’ll slowly discover every single one of this hidden treasure as soon as appreciate their bouquet!
