A few weeks ago, I was contacted by an up and coming online flower company, The Bouqs, about reviewing their product in exchange for a free bouquet. There is something about having fresh flowers in the house that brightens my day, so obviously I said yes.
The Bouqs’ main collection of flowers is the “Volcano Collection”. These flowers are grown in South America on a volcano, literally. This collection takes a week or so for delivery, and is where I chose my bouquet from. They also have the “California Collection”, which is a little more expensive and subject to taxes, but offers next day delivery.
I was pleasantly surprised by the youthful, modern design of the site and happy that it was extremely easy to navigate. You get a clear, concise view of what each bouquet looks like, and can select each one in three different sizes: Original (around a dozen stems, $40-50), Deluxe (two dozen, $50-60), or Grand (three dozen, $70). Shipping is free, so you don’t have to deal with crazy delivery fees.
The Bouq that I chose was “Dawn” in the “Volcano Collection”. I picked it because I loved the fiery orange color and thought it would be perfect for a Thanksgiving arrangement. When it arrived, I was so excited! The packaging was simple, yet cute. The bouquet comes boxed and wrapped in brown paper. The box has directions for unwrapping, arranging, and caring for your flowers.
I unwrapped the flowers and they were gorgeous! Despite being boxed and wrapped, they were fresh and unharmed, minus a couple of petals that were a little bent. These roses were better than ones at the store by far, and just as beautiful, if not more so, than from a florist.
I removed them from the packaging and followed their directions, which were basically how I always care for my flowers. Look at how beautiful the colors of these roses are! Perfect for fall!
To compliment the colors in the bouquet, I took square of burlap and wrapped it around the vase I had. Then, I secured it with a rubber band and tied a burlap and orange chevron ribbon around it. Perfect for my Thanksgiving table!
I received my Bouq on November 20th. It is now December 4th and the roses just started wilting . I changed the water out twice and they lasted me this long! I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of my bouquet. I definitely recommend you check out The Bouqs for the next time you order flowers!
